Overview
Alef Qurum Residence is a boutique apartment building by Rozal Development inside Telal Al Qurm, the new Integrated Tourism Complex between Wattayah and Qurum. With just 32 apartments over five floors and 11 shops on the ground floor, it offers a quieter, more private alternative to larger towers.
Residents have their own indoor swimming pool, a gym and 24-hour security, and they share the leisure facilities planned for Telal Al Qurm, including hotels, an aqua park and a cinema.
Prices start at the lowest level in the complex, which makes Alef Qurum an accessible way to own a freehold home in central Muscat. Handover is targeted for Q2 2029.

About Qurum
Qurum is one of Muscat’s most established and sought-after districts. It runs along a long public beach and includes Shatti Al Qurum, the capital’s best-known waterfront neighbourhood of embassies, hotels, cafés and restaurants, as well as Qurum Natural Park and the Royal Opera House Muscat.
Until recently, freehold property for foreigners was concentrated in newer coastal communities on the edges of the city. New Integrated Tourism Complexes in Qurum, including The Residences at Mandarin Oriental and Telal Al Qurm, now allow international buyers to own homes in the heart of the capital, close to its business, shopping and cultural life.
How buying works
Apartments are sold off-plan by Rozal Development. The usual steps are:
- Step 1 Choose the unit and pay the reservation deposit
- Step 2 Sign the sale and purchase agreement with the developer
- Step 3 Pay instalments in line with the approved plan
- Step 4 Handover, snagging and title deed in your name
Ownership, residency and costs
The project is licensed as an Integrated Tourism Complex, so buyers of any nationality can own their home freehold, with the title deed registered in their own name. Owners can live in the home, lease it, sell it or leave it to their heirs.
Owning a residential unit in an ITC allows the owner to apply for an Omani residence visa for themselves and their immediate family, and Oman’s 10-year investor residency is available where the property is worth OMR 200,000 or more. Residency is granted by the authorities and the rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your case.
Allow for 5% VAT on new homes bought from the developer, the registration fee at transfer and the annual service charge. Oman has no annual property tax.
Who it suits
- First-time buyers seeking a low entry price in central Muscat
