The strategic undertaking follows Shurooq's vision of transforming Sharjah as a leading hub of nature-inspired experiences and brings the emirate's central and eastern regions within the folds of its ambitious plans.
Al Sarkal said that the new developments follow the directives of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to roll out key infrastructural projects which would further boost Sharjah's appeal as a go-to destination for overseas travellers as well as citizens and residents by allowing them access to the unique heritage and diverse natural landscapes that make up the many cities and regions of the culturally rich emirate.
