AIDA · Yiti & Yenkit, Muscat, Oman
The Great Escape 2 Signature Residences
Freehold apartments on the AIDA clifftop, above the Gulf of Oman and the Trump International Golf Club Oman. Delivered by DarGlobal with OMRAN.
The project
The Great Escape 2 Aida is a two-tower address on a Muscat clifftop
The Great Escape 2 Aida sits inside AIDA, the integrated tourism community shared between Yiti and Yenkit, twenty-five minutes from Muscat International Airport. Two nine-storey towers hold one, two and three bedroom apartments. Every home looks out over one of three things: the Gulf of Oman, the resort pool deck, or the fairways of the Trump International Golf Club Oman.
DarGlobal is the developer and seller. The land partner is OMRAN, the Oman Tourism Development Company, a government company under the Oman Investment Authority. That pairing matters to buyers. It puts a private international developer and a sovereign tourism body on the same masterplan.
Tropical Riviera International Realty presents these residences to buyers worldwide. We are a licensed Mauritius-based brokerage led by a Certified International Property Specialist. We advise on unit selection, payment structure and the Omani ownership process from first enquiry to handover.
The setting
Ten minutes from old Muscat. Two minutes from Yiti Beach.
AIDA occupies a headland between the Hajar foothills and the sea. The site rises roughly 120 metres above the shoreline, so the views run uninterrupted to the horizon.

The residences
Two towers, ground plus nine floors, unfurnished and ready to make your own
Ceilings reach a minimum of 2.7 metres in living rooms and bedrooms. Floors are porcelain throughout, with marble-look porcelain in the bathrooms. Kitchens arrive fitted with joinery and integrated appliances, so the handover is genuinely move-in ready once you furnish.
Parking sits on the lower ground and ground floors. One and two bedroom homes receive one bay each. Three bedroom homes receive two. Each tower runs three lifts, one of them a service lift.

Current availability
Four residences released in Tower C
These four are a selection from the live inventory. Floor level drives both the view and the price, so we have ordered them by the floor each home sits on. Further residences are available in Tower D, and in three bedroom layouts. Ask us for the full release.
Prices are quoted in Omani rial and reflect the developer’s current release list. US dollar figures are indicative, converted at approximately OMR 1 = USD 2.598. Availability changes without notice. Token amount to reserve: OMR 4,000.
Amenities
An infinity pool above the sea, and trails that start at your door
AIDA was planned around the landscape rather than against it. Hiking, running and mountain bike trails thread through the community. The viewing deck faces the water.
Owners also receive a complimentary social membership to the Trump International Golf Club Oman. That covers the swimming pool, the fitness centre, the restaurants and the club’s other social facilities.

Ownership & costs
Foreign buyers own outright, and the title carries residency
AIDA is an integrated tourism complex. Property inside an ITC may be bought freehold by non-Omanis, with no restriction on nationality and no local partner required.
Ownership brings renewable Omani residency for the buyer and immediate family, for as long as the property is held. DarGlobal also assists with local bank account setup at handover.
If you are weighing the market rather than the building, start with our guides to investing in Oman real estate and understanding Oman real estate. Both cover ITC title, escrow and exit in more depth than a project page can.

Questions
The Great Escape 2 Aida: buyer questions answered
Where exactly is The Great Escape 2?
The project sits inside AIDA, an integrated tourism community between Yiti and Yenkit, on the coast east of Muscat. Nikki Beach Resort & Spa is one minute away and Yiti Beach is two. Muscat International Airport is about twenty-five minutes by road.
Can foreigners buy freehold property in Oman?
Yes, within designated integrated tourism complexes. AIDA is one of them. Buyers of any nationality can hold full freehold title in their own name, with no local partner and no restriction on resale to another foreign buyer.
Does buying here give me residency in Oman?
Ownership inside an ITC entitles the owner and immediate family to an Omani residency visa. It is renewable and remains linked to the property, so it lasts as long as you own the home. Confirm the current rules with an Omani lawyer before you rely on them.
What sizes and layouts are available?
The two towers hold one, two and three bedroom apartments. One bedroom homes run from 49 to 91 sqm. Two bedroom homes run from 88 to 115 sqm. Three bedroom homes measure 168 to 170 sqm. All are handed over unfurnished.
What does a residence cost right now?
On the current release list, the one bedroom homes we hold start at OMR 125,605 and the two bedroom homes start at OMR 181,173. Earlier launch pricing was lower, and the list moves as units sell. Ask us for today’s figures before you plan around a number.
How does the payment plan work?
You pay 20% on booking, then eight instalments of 10%. These fall at 6, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33 and 39 months from the booking date, with the last 10% at project completion. A token of OMR 4,000 reserves a unit while paperwork is prepared.
What extra fees and taxes should I budget for?
VAT of 5% applies to each instalment. A registration fee of 3% is due on completion. After handover, service charges are estimated at OMR 9 per sqm of built-up area each year. Oman charges no personal income tax and no inheritance tax in the applicable free zone.
When will the apartments be handed over?
The anticipated completion date is September 2028. Construction payments run through an escrow account with Sohar Islamic in Muscat, which is the standard protection for off-plan buyers in Oman.
Can I sell before completion?
Yes. The developer permits resale once 40% of the purchase price has been paid. On this payment plan that point is reached at the third instalment, fifteen months after booking. Transfer conditions and any administration fee are set by DarGlobal.
Who is the developer, and who is OMRAN?
DarGlobal is the developer and seller. OMRAN, the Oman Tourism Development Company, is the masterplan partner and is a government company under the Oman Investment Authority. Tropical Riviera International Realty presents the residences to international buyers.
Is the golf club membership included?
Owners receive a complimentary social membership to the Trump International Golf Club Oman. It covers the pool, the fitness centre, the restaurants and the other social amenities. Playing rights on the course are a separate golf membership.
