YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Muscat, Oman, sometimes described as the anti-Dubai, is trying to modernize as it looks toward an economic future without oil. But can it create a new model of a Middle Eastern city or will it succumb to the glitzier approach of its neighbors like the Line in Saudi Arabia or Egypt’s new capital?

WSJ explores the new project aimed at modernizing Muscat and explains why it’s important to the country.
