Seeb, 
Oman
630,072 people lived in Seeb in 2025. It is the 861st largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 2nd largest in Oman.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Seeb governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Seeb grew
Where Seeb had 10 people in 1995, it had 79 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 819,677 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2010 and 2015. The UN first counts it as a city in 1995, when it passed 50,000 people.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

Where it is
How to read this: Seeb is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Oman in 2025, 12 in all, led by Muscat, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Seeb covered 143 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 32 km² of it. That is 51 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 3.5 times its size, and its people are 7.9 times as many.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.
Of every 100 people in Oman
Its share of Oman
Of every 100 people in Oman in 2025, 11 lived in Seeb, which is 630,072 people.
How to read this: 100 squares, one for every 100th person in Oman; the coloured squares live in Seeb. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

In Oman, 2025
How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Seeb are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1995 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Seeb publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
