HVS In-Depth Middle East Hotel Valuation Index:   2021 | 2019 | 2016

Muscat’s hotel values reached USD 134,000 per key in 2025, reflecting a 25% increase since 2019. Despite this growth, valuation remains the lowest among GCC markets and is below typical development costs for upscale / upper-upscale assets, making new investments financially challenging.

 

The city’s performance continues to be constrained by limited international air connectivity, which restricts access from key source markets, and by governance and infrastructure challenges that have slowed tourism development and reduced destination competitiveness.
