This image of Oman's Botanic Garden back when it was under construction is pretty mesmerising.
The site went on to become one of the largest botanic gardens in the world, covering around 430 hectares outside of Muscat.
The garden has been designed to recreate the country’s native landscapes, from deserts and wadis to the mountains and monsoon forests of Dhofar. After years of construction, the project was formally completed and handed over to Muscat Municipality in December 2025. Operational preparations are now underway ahead of its public opening, though a date has not yet been announced.
At its centre are two enormous climate-controlled biomes designed by Grimshaw, housing some of Oman’s most sensitive mountain habitats. Eight native habitat types will be represented across the wider site, alongside a visitor centre, research facilities and extensive outdoor landscapes.
Four major buildings (including both biomes, the Deserts Pavilion and Visitor Centre) have also secured LEED Platinum certification.
