Oman

Five thousand years of love for the ocean

Oman embodies the true spirit of seafaring. Its strategic location between East and West has helped create an intimate bond between the people of Oman and the ocean. For thousands of years the people of Oman have harnessed and honed seafaring skills that are legendary, enabling their culture to influence and shape trade routes, alliances and transfer of knowledge across the ancient world.

This ancient knowledge and tradition still lives on today in the everyday lives of Oman’s seamen and fishermen. Their love for the ocean is unwavering, their skills and understanding of the sea are unparalleled and their passion is made of the surf, salt and sun.

Oman offers the best sports and competition fishing in the Arabian Peninsula. With the wide-open expanse of the Gulf of Oman offering some of the most fertile waters for big game fishing, it is the perfect adventure for true sports fishing professionals and enthusiasts.

BARR AL JISSAH

Heart of the sea

Barr Al Jissah is born of the sea, its gaze and attention firmly focused on the wide blue ocean, its heart belonging to the endless blue.

For hundreds of years, Barr Al Jissah has been a flourishing haven for both man and nature. Marine animals and birds breed and prosper in the warm waters of the bays and surrounding lagoons Traders have used the sheltering coves for res and respite in between long journeys. Both man and nature are dependent on the richness of the sea, coast and mountains for their well-being and legacy.

Now, a new addition to these completes the story. Al Mina is the latest and final chapter in the Barr Al Jissah story; the marina itself, where journeys begin and voyages end, where gatherings of merchants and families meet to trade goods and tales, and where the pace of Omani life itself is set everyday. Barr Al Jissah Al Mina captures the essence of port living with its very own villas, penthouses, apartments and private yacht club surrounding a 43 berths marina of luxury leisure and fishing yachts for discerning sea lovers.
