Summary of Trails in Muscat Region
Oman Trailbuilders (OTB) is a “non-profit” group that is interested in developing mountain biking as a hobby, competitive sport, and promoting Oman as a tourism destination. OTB was formed in 2017.
We aim to take advantage of our extensive knowledge of what it takes to build a single or wide trail to suit all groups, from beginners to professionals. The designs of these trails show the aesthetics of the terrain of Oman, which is a remarkable attraction for athletes from outside and inside the Sultanate. MTB is getting more popular in Oman and it is supported by the increasing number of participants in all races organized by the OTB team since 2017. Since then, mountain biking has been significantly promoted through our social networking sites. We hope to move forward to build a strong base for advancing mountain biking in Oman.
Among the team's achievements as of 2020:
Establishing more than 20 trails, with a length of more than approximately 70 km, at a level of various difficulties.
Coordination with other MTB teams outside Muscat to establish their own mountain trails in Ibri, Ibra and Izki.
Construction of 7 trails for children in Al Khoud, Qantab, Hamriyah, Halban, Falaj AlSham and Bawshar.
