The brand new development is called the Qidfa Development and it hopes to inspire eco-tourism by reinventing the oasis and beach front areas.
The new destination was launched by HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and it is set to become a brand new daycation destination featuring cosy kiosks and amenities.
The development forms part of the Emirates Village Project – a new regional project that is dedicated to transforming a number of the UAE’s most beautiful and remote villages to give them a more up to date feel. This project serves as an opportunity to economically develop more remote areas through tourism, with the goal of bringing as many as 100,000 tourists to the destination per annum.
The project also acts as a significant model for long-term socioeconomic development due to its multifaceted approach, which will see the launch of 50 youth development projects as well as multiple training programmes, an increase in involvement from the local community and the creation of a Dhs10 billion power plant which will generate electricity for close to 380,000 homes.
