Samail Industrial City is a Madayn industrial location in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate. Opened in 2014, it sits between Muscat and Oman’s interior and has developed into a mixed manufacturing and logistics base.
Its main advantage is balance: it is inland, but still relatively accessible from Muscat and the northern transport network. For a national comparison, see our Oman Industrial Cities guide.
