Muscat, the capital of Oman, secures the silver medal for the second cleanest city in Asia, according to the Numbeo Pollution Index. The report assesses various parameters related to environmental comfort, including light, noise, water, and air pollution, waste management, hygienic conditions, and green spaces.
Muscat’s stringent green and hygiene standards reflect the remarkable efforts of a country that is shaping its future through the ambitious Oman Vision 2040 project. Environment and sustainability are two essential goals for the Sultanate’s program, which aims to build modern and green infrastructure for the country, manage resources responsibly, and conserve biodiversity.
Muscat has recorded an excellent series of results that elevate it among the reference models for Asian cities promoting a healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly lifestyle for residents and tourists. The scores in the Numbeo’s Pollution Index have crowned Muscat among the most virtuous cities in terms of purity and cleanliness. Singapore occupies the top step of the podium, while the bronze medal has been awarded to Islamabad, followed by Tokyo and Antalya.
Muscat’s achievement highlights and motivates the commitment of Omani authorities engaged in reducing carbon emissions, improving recycling programs, and supporting green projects. This threefold initiative has transformed the city into a strategic and desirable center for quality of life, environmental well-being, and charm. This result, coupled with the surge in Omani exports, will promote the Sultanate’s affirmation on the international scene.
