Omran, the investment company developing tourism assets and infrastructure in Oman, has said plans for a five-star resort will be ready by the end of 2012.
Omran and its joint venture partner, Musstir, have laid the foundation stone for the Al Baleed resort, which will be built in the state of Dhofar.
Work will start on site in November with the main contractor mobilising in May 2011, the companies said in a statement.

The statement added that the project was anticipated to be completed in December 2012.
The resort will feature 106 one, two, and three bedroom chalets, most with their own courtyard swimming pools.
The main hotel building will house 30 guest rooms, recreation facilities, spa, F&B outlets and function areas.
Dr Rajiha Bint Abdul Ameer Bin Ali, Minister of Tourism and Omran chairperson, said: "This will be another strong tourism attraction for Oman and a fantastic accomplishment for Omran and Musstir.
"This project supports our aim to enrich and further strengthen the structure of the Sultanate's tourism and it will develop the tourism potential of the Dhofar region."
