His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurated on Thursday, the first phase of Al Hosn Heritage Neighborhood project in Kalba.
The Sharjah Ruler toured the corridors of the neighborhood, whose revival and restoration comes according to his directives as the region constitutes a historical and archaeological legacy to be marked as an important tourist landmark for visitors from different regions.
Dr Sheikh Sultan was also briefed on the remaining process of the restoration and revival of the area, and listened to a detailed explanation of the progress of the works there, and the most prominent archaeological evidence discovered during the restoration operations.

The neighborhood also includes, according to the data and information, 15 old houses that were previously demolished and reconstructed, where 5 of them opened in the current stage, to complete the remaining houses in the coming stages.
The neighborhood includes the heritage market, which was reconstructed in a larger size than its original size to include 16 shops for young Emirati entrepreneurs.
The old heritage mosque was renovated, maintained, and expanded, as it had been subjected to many demolitions and construction in the past. The drawings and inscriptions previously found on the pulpit and the mihrab were taken into consideration.
The Sharjah Ruler also inaugurated the House of Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi, which has been restored and rehabilitated, as it is one of the most important heritage landmarks in the Emirate of Sharjah, and one of the most prominent evidence of the emirate’s long-standing economic and cultural role.
