(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Al Khaleel Group, a leading trading and contracting Omani company in the sultanate, has assigned the construction of Ramada Encore to Al Rawahi International.
Al Khaleel Group has recently tied-up with the world-renowned Wyndham Hotel Group to launch two new hotels in the sultanate under the globally recognised 'Ramada' brand name.
To further this tie-up, an agreement signing was held recently between Al Khaleel Group and Al Rawahi International for the construction of Ramada Encore, a three-star hotel as Phase 1 of this prestigious project. The construction period is 16 months for the hotel that includes 140 deluxe rooms and 24 suites. State-of-the-art business facilities, leisure amenities, a rooftop café and pool as well as male and female fitness centres are other attractions in the property.
Ramada Encore will be strategically located along Sultan Qaboos main road in Ghubra, a short distance from Muscat International Airport, nearby shopping centers and Oman's renowned Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. With all-day dining restaurants and coffee lounge, the hotel will not only be the first Ramada Encore to open in Oman but will also be the largest of its kind across the Middle East and Africa.
Sheikh Jehad bin Mohammed al Khalili, deputy managing director (project director), Al Khaleel Group, said, 'The Ramada Encore project is a reflection of Al Khaleel Group's vision to contribute to Omanisation, the tourism industry as well as the overall economy of Oman. We are very excited because this signing ceremony represents the establishment of the biggest Ramada Encore in the Middle East and Africa. The collaboration with Al Rawahi International brings much value to this project due to their vast and long years of experience in the construction of similar projects in hospitality.'

In Phase 2 of the project, a four-star Ramada Hotel and Suites is envisaged. It will be located next to the Ramada Encore and inter-connected by a footbridge.
