The Great Escape 2

The Great Escape 2 is a nine-storey residential building developed by Dar Global within the AIDA coastal community in Muscat Governorate, Oman. Comprising 45 residences and priced from approximately AED 1.1 million, it is scheduled for completion in September 2027.

# A nine-storey building on Oman's cliff-edged coastline

AIDA sits on a stretch of Muscat Governorate where the Arabian Sea meets a rugged limestone shoreline, and the development occupies one of its more prominent positions. The Great Escape 2 rises nine storeys with a design language that draws from the surrounding terrain: angular, natural in palette, and oriented to maximise sightlines across the golf course and the water below.

This is not a tower in the conventional high-rise sense. At 45 units across a single building, the scale is deliberately contained, which keeps the density low and the communal areas functional rather than crowded.

Yitti Beach sits 0.7 km from the development, making it one of the closest amenity points in the project's immediate geography.

# Residences, layouts and kitchen specification

The building offers one- and two-bedroom configurations across a range of floor areas. One-bedroom units begin at around 600 sq ft and extend to just over 970 sq ft depending on the layout tier. Two-bedroom residences run from approximately 991 sq ft up to 1,433 sq ft, with the larger formats priced between AED 2.25 million and AED 2.89 million.

Finishing is modern, with kitchens fully equipped as standard. The broader specification is described by Dar Global as high-quality materials throughout, though buyers should request detailed finish schedules prior to reservation.

Service charges are fixed at AED 9 per sq ft annually.

# Golf, beach and outdoor amenities within the community

The Trump International Golf Club is the headline amenity at AIDA. Dar Global confirms that purchasers at the development receive a complimentary social membership, covering club activities, dining and wellness facilities. Golf membership, which provides access to the 18-hole championship course, is available separately to owners and external guests.

# Other on-site facilities

Beyond the golf offering, the community includes the Aida Beach Club, an infinity pool, a children's swimming pool, a children's play area, a gym, and dedicated hiking and biking trails through the surrounding landscape. The trail access is relevant given the cliff and hillside topography of the area, which is suited to that kind of outdoor use.

# Coastal position, distances and the broader Muscat context

The immediate coastal setting is the project's strongest geographic argument. Yitti Beach at under a kilometre is walkable. City Centre Qurum, one of Muscat's principal retail destinations, is roughly 39 km away, and Riyam Park sits at around 30 km, both accessible by road.

Muscat Governorate continues to attract interest from buyers who want Oman's relative quiet and coastline without giving up proximity to a functioning capital city. AIDA sits in that corridor comfortably, even if the drive into central Muscat requires planning.

# Who this project suits, and where it sits in the regional market

The Great Escape 2 addresses a specific type of buyer: one who is pricing out of comparable coastal positions in Dubai or the Northern Emirates but wants a similar lifestyle proposition, with the added appeal of Oman's lower density and more dramatic natural setting.

At AED 1.1 million entry for a one-bedroom, the price per square foot remains competitive against seafront inventory in most Dubai submarkets. For GCC residents seeking a second home, and for European or Asian buyers drawn to the Gulf region more broadly, the combination of golf, beach access and a 2027 delivery date makes the project worth examining against alternatives.

Dar Global's involvement signals a developer with international brand partnerships and a track record in premium leisure-oriented residential. The 45-unit scale limits the speculative overhang risk that larger schemes sometimes carry at completion.
