Bazaar Sohar: A Comprehensive Commercial and Entertainment Destination
Bazaar Sohar is the first in a series of Bazaar projects and stands as one of the most prominent developmental ventures in the North Al Batinah Governorate. This unique project blends tradition with modernity in perfect harmony. Located in the heart of Sohar, a city long known as Oman’s maritime gateway and a bustling trade hub, Bazaar Sohar is set to open in 2025.
Spanning a vast area, Bazaar Sohar features a collection of specialized markets, thoughtfully arranged to boost commercial activity and shopping experiences for all brands present. This structure ensures a seamless customer journey, comprising eight specialized markets, most notably the Women's Market, the first of its kind in Oman with over 100 stores. Other markets include the first dedicated spice and herbal market, a men's supplies market, a perfume market, an electronics market, a children's market, and markets for dates, honey, and traditional handicrafts. Additionally, Bazaar offers a delightful culinary experience with a variety of Omani and international dishes in a food court surrounded by a hanging garden, as well as a hypermarket offering diverse products. Bazaar Sohar is one of the top commercial projects in the Sultanate, built to the highest standards to provide an ideal and profitable shopping experience.
Architecturally, Bazaar Sohar preserves the authentic Omani identity while incorporating modern elements and facilities. The design includes spaces for artistic performances and cultural events, making it a vibrant hub for all community members. It also features designated areas for children, green spaces, and family-friendly seating areas, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable environment for families.
With its strategic location in Sohar, a meeting point for tourists and visitors from neighboring and friendly countries, Bazaar Sohar is expected to become a major destination for tourists from both within and outside the Sultanate, boosting tourism and commerce in the region.
Bazaar Sohar is a successful model of developmental projects that balance preserving cultural heritage with meeting modern-day demands, making it a fully integrated commercial and entertainment destination that serves both the local community and tourists alike.
