As-Seeb is known for being the venue in which the Treaty of Seeb agreement took place between the Imamate of Oman and the Sultanate of Muscat on 25 September 1920.

This treaty divided Oman into two distinct regions, the hinterland and the coast, which were separated historically by the Hajar Mountains.

[citation needed] There are two main highways linking Seeb with the rest of the provinces: Muscat Expressway and Route 1.

In June 2014 The Register disclosed that Seeb is the location of a "beyond top secret" GCHQ internet monitoring site.

The valley has a beautiful mixture of mesmerizing sights varying from clear water pools, green outcrops, and rock formations and is recommended for a picnic.

The city will be organized into nineteen walkable neighborhoods with thirty-nine schools, eleven health facilities, and a university.
