IQPC and GEC announces Housing Development Summit Oman 2013

Engineer Mohamed bin Salim bin Khalifa al Busaidi, Chairman of the Board of the Oman Real Estate Association (OREA), is a key speaker at the Housing Development Summit.

The vision of OREA is to have a prominent position both at local and global levels and to effectively contribute to the construction, building, organisation and development of the real estate sector.

It also aims to contribute its suggestions to develop and enact laws regulating the real estate market in the Sultanate.
