Man behind road that links two villages to be honoured

Muscat – Thirty-nine teams from across Oman are coming together to honour Saeed Hamdan al Muqimi, who took it upon himself to supervise the construction of a road connecting two villages in North and South Sharqiyah.

Construction of the landmark road project connecting Wadi Bani Khalid in North Sharqiyah governorate and Tiwi in South Sharqiyah, will cut the distance between the two by 200km.

The 8km road is expected to change the fortune of the nearby villages and boost tourism by reducing travel time between the two tourist places, besides reducing the time to reach Wadi Bani Khalid from Muscat.

The teams, which joined hands, will celebrate the official opening of the road on Friday.

Speaking to Muscat Daily, Eng Saleh Saeed al Habsi, CEO of Quick Challenge Company (QCC), said that more than 200 people from 39 volunteer teams from various parts of the sultanate will launch a charity campaign to honour Muqimi and open the road.

“Muqimi has single-handedly supervised the construction of the road to connect the two villages across the two governorates. He purchased an excavator with the money he received from a grant he was awarded from the Sultan Qaboos Award for Voluntary Work for the project.”
