Though there is huge traffic during peak hours, Azaiba has access to the Sultan Qaboos Highway and is a 15 minute drive from Al Khuwair, 25 minutes to Qurum and Seeb, and 30 minutes to Ruwi.
Azaiba is full of grocery stores, fitness centres, beauty salons, schools, laundry shops, and is just across the highway from the malls and Lulu Hypermarket.
There isn’t a lot of nightlife or restaurants in the area, so you’ll find more families with children, both Omanis and expatriates, than bachelors.
Though it is not the most inexpensive of Muscat neighbourhoods, you will often find larger villas and flats, many of which feature outdoor space, for the same price as new construction in other posh areas like MQ or Qurum.
Azaiba features one of the best public beaches in Oman and some of the villas and flats even enjoy sea views or are a walkable distance from the ocean.

particularly nice and safe. Overall we are very happy in our neighbourhood. I love being close to amenities like Azaiba beach, the park, an Al Fair grocery store, our gym, and health clubs. In our complex we also love having a swimming pool, community centre, and security system. The rent is very steep and takes a large chunk of the budget, but still worth it for the lifestyle we enjoy there. —lifestyle@timesofoman.com
space, a garden, a quiet area safe for our children, and easy access to the main roads so we could get to the office in a reasonable amount of time. Azaiba is quiet, and we have nice respectful neighbours. The roads are wide, neat, and clean appearance with lots of gardens and trees. I feel safe when I’m out walking the dogs or jogging. All adults we have met are friendly and respectful. Only some teenagers like to come and tease the dogs who then bark and become annoying for the whole community, and some teenagers think it’s ‘cool’ to show off their loud annoying driving skills on quad bikes late at night, which is not
zaiba is a coastal neighbourhood in Wilayat Baushar, which is just north of Wilayat Muttrah and south Wilayat Seeb. Just south of Seeb International Airport, this neighbourhood is wedged between the Sea of Oman and the Sultan Qaboos freeway, which separates Azaiba from Ghubra, which is on its west side. We spoke to resident Nicole Bradbury Becx, a PR professional who resides on Road 4824 behind Al Fair on 18th November Street, to find out why she chose her hood. We moved into our house in Azaiba in 2012. At the time the main things we were looking for were ample

STYLE WARS
Old School vs New School Charm Where you choose to live, from the style of the building to the area it's in, all comes down to personal taste. As you search for a new home, you'll undoubtably end up asking yourself, 'what's my real estate style?'
W
hen you’re in the market for a new place to live, it’s important to figure out what you want from the outset—number of bedrooms, villa or flat, commute time, and style of both the building and the neighbourhood—because there are advantages and disadvantages that come with every area and style. One of the questions plaguing buyers these days is whether to go for
vintage details and charm or the sleek convenience of new construction. Old School Charm • There’s something about an area with history that makes it very desirable, tree-lined streets give neighbourhoods a charming, older, and established feel. • These neighbourhoods are usually very stable thanks to longtime residents. • Older villas and converted flats have
a more spacious feel thanks to high ceilings and sprawling layouts. • Muscat is a young city, but there are still many established villa and palm tree filled neighbourhoods in parts of Seeb, Azaiba, Al Khuwair, and Ruwi. New School Charm • While vintage appeal is great, moving into a shiny new build has its advantages as well. To begin with, many people love the modern, con-
temporary look of newer flats • New buildings offer peace of mind when it comes to maintenance, as they typically require fewer repairs. • Many new builds feature building amenities like pools, covered parking, and laundry facilities. • The Wave in Seeb is a popular place to both rent and buy new flats and townhomes and many new buildings are being constructed in Qurum. – lifestyle@timesofoman.com
