The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has unveiled four new luxury hospitality projects as the emirate’s tourism sector seeks to rebound from the pandemic.
The projects will consist of: Al Jabal Resort in Khorfakkan; a luxury hotel in Kalba; a hotel in Khorfakkan which will feature the UAE’s first waterpark in the east coast and the Al Bridi Resort at the Sharjah Safari project in Al Dhaid.
The new Al Jabal Resort will feature 45 eco-friendly units including a private royal suite with a swimming pool. Spanning a total of 187,000sq m, the project will be located on the slopes of the Al Soueifa Mountain and will also offer guests a restaurant, gym, children’s play area, reception area and lobby. A new five-star hotel will also be built in Kalba on Sharjah’s eastern coast. This hotel is expected to feature 80 units, two restaurants, a gym, a spa, swimming pool and meeting halls.
Alongside these two projects, a new 28,000sq m hospitality project is set to be unveiled in Khorfakkan, opposite the Khorfakkan Port. This project will feature 75 luxurious units and the UAE’s very first waterpark on the east coast as well as a shopping complex, restaurant, gym, spa, marina and residential units. Finally, the Al Bridi Resort and Petting Zoo in Al Dhaid, which is being developed in partnership with the Environment and Protected Areas Authority and is a part of the Sharjah Safari project, is expected to start operations at the end of the year.
