Strong Senses (Ruwi)

Ruwi is the old CBD and it is one of the busiest areas in Muscat and the feeling of this area is a cocktail of lemon, blueberry and chili where the sweet and sour tastes are balanced with an addition of hotness provided by the chili.

That represents how Ruwi is diverse in functions and also accessible where people can walk rather than just using vehicles. On the other hand, with all these advantages it consequences was slightly negative; due to the business of the highway, which is narrow, it created congestion and noise, moreover, it is hard to cross the street to get to the other side of the road and that created some sort of disconnection (although Ruwi as a the whole area is connected very well and for that it created that felling that it is not allowed to connect to the other side)

Also the area lacks elements of entertainment there is only Ruwi cinema but it is further than our site’s area and by providing this facility Ruwi will be almost complete in the availability of functions. Our friend Rajan is an active, sociable and hardworking person he always hoped to have a place where he can have some fun time with his children without the need to use a vehicle to drive to an entertainment facility for miles. He also mentioned that he always find some difficulty of crossing the highway as well as some of the inner area’s streets lacks pavements to walk on and that the streets are narrow plus cars are parking by the side which makes it uncomfortable to walk.

To solve the highway issues a bridge or more can be built for people to cross with ease and comfort and a multi functional building will be placed on the site which will have: bowling center, arcade, sabla, internet cyber and a terraced restaurants to benefit from the view of the Ruwi
