Mahas Industrial City is Madayn’s industrial location in Musandam Governorate near Khasab. It was inaugurated in 2017 and is designed around Musandam’s construction, mineral, logistics, food-security and SME needs.
Mahas is smaller than Oman’s major industrial cities, but its geography is unusual: it sits close to Khasab Port and Airport, the UAE border and the Strait of Hormuz. See our Oman Industrial Cities guide for the wider comparison.

The published industrial rent is 500 baisas per m² annually. OPAZ has also approved additional rental incentives for new Mahas projects, but the exact current terms should be confirmed before a financial commitment.
