Sharjah’s property market is witnessing a major transformation with the launch of the massive Ajmal Makan City – Sharjah Waterfront project in Al Hamriyah. The Dh25 billion coastal development spans over 60 million square feet, offering a mix of residential, commercial, and tourism attractions.

According to Sultan Al Shakrah, CEO of Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development, the project will house more than 60,000 residents across eight islands, blending modern urban living with eco-friendly designs. He emphasized that the development will significantly boost Sharjah’s real estate sector, generating thousands of jobs across industries like infrastructure, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and education.

A Hotspot for Investors

  • Al Thuraya Island
  • The View Island
  • Blue Beach Residence

Meanwhile, Sun Island’s first two phases have been completed, and the Blue Bay Walk project—developed in three phases — has seen its first phase finished, with the remaining two ahead of schedule.

A City Within a City

Ajmal Makan City isn’t just a real estate project; it’s a fully integrated urban destination. It will feature:

  • 1,500 luxury villas and mid-rise buildings
  • Hotels, retail spaces, and entertainment hubs
  • A university and several schools
  • A massive theme park
  • A 3-million-square-foot shopping mall
  • A marina with 800 yacht berths
  • Waterfront restaurants, cafes, and leisure spots

In addition, 60% of the project is dedicated to green spaces, beaches, and public areas, aligning with Sharjah’s sustainability vision.

With its stunning waterfront setting, modern infrastructure, and eco-friendly design, Ajmal Makan City – Sharjah Waterfront is set to become one of the region’s most sought-after destinations for residents, tourists, and investors alike.

The UAE has rejected reports claiming it is cancelling workers’ residency visas or providing financial facilities to Iran, calling the claims false and part of what it described as a wider media campaign.

Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash, Diplomatic Adviser to the UAE President, said on Wednesday that the country remains focused on managing regional developments and preparing for the next phase rather than being distracted by misinformation.

In a post on X, Gargash said some platforms were circulating what he described as false information about the UAE while authorities continued to focus on developments on the ground.

He specifically dismissed rumours about the cancellation of workers’ residency visas and alleged financial support for Iran, saying the claims were incorrect.

Gargash said the UAE’s response to such reports would be through “work and achievements on the ground”, arguing that verifiable facts and tangible results were stronger than rumours.

His comments come amid heightened regional tensions and a wave of unverified claims circulating online. The UAE official urged attention to facts and concrete developments rather than what he described as media noise.
