Work is progressing steadily on the Tourist Information Centre at the Al Buraimi Gateway, a key initiative to support the cultural and tourism development of Al Buraimi Governorate. The project has reached approximately 60% completion, with final supply and finishing works currently underway.
Designed as a comprehensive hub for visitors, the centre will offer both recreational and informational services. Planned facilities include a café, a children’s play area, and a souvenir shop highlighting the cultural identity of the governorate.
The centre will be equipped with modern digital features, including a main interactive screen integrated with virtual reality (VR) technology, a semi-cylindrical screen, and four additional side screens. One of these screens will be directly linked to the National Museum, allowing access to continuously updated cultural content.
Obaid bin Salim Al Kaabi, Director of the Projects Department at the Office of the Governor of Al Buraimi, said, “The Tourist Information Centre project is part of a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing the tourism and service infrastructure in the governorate. It represents a qualitative leap in the way tourism information is presented, using modern digital technologies to enhance visitor experience and align with national trends towards digital tourism.” He added that the remaining works include the supply of furniture, digital games, and a decorative fountain, with completion expected in the near future ahead of the official opening.
