The flagpole is constructed in the Al Khuwair Square (along the prestigious Sultan Qaboos street), as part of a development project launched in 23 April 2024. In an area of 18,000 sq. m, the square features palm trees areas, walking and cycling paths, skate park, and an arts and crafts exhibition, along with the flagpole^[3]. The $10 million project was developed by the private sector, and funded entirely by Jindal Steel, Sohar.

The Omani flag measures 18 m (59 ft) in length and 31.5 m (103 ft) in breadth. Constructed with 135 tonnes of steel, the pole has an outer diameter of 280 cm at the base, and tapers to 90 cm at the top. It also features an aircraft warning light system on top^[4].
