Sharjah Media City (Shams) is carrying out a project to develop a new entertainment area on Khorfakkan road to be a family and tourist destination serving the city’s residents and those passing through on the vital road between Sharjah and Khorfakkan, said Rashid Abdullah Al Obad, Director General of Shams.

The project comes as an extension of Shams’ efforts to develop high-quality facilities to support the tourism and entertainment scene in the Eastern Region by providing modern destinations that meet the needs of all categories.

The project, which represents an integrated vision for a modern entertainment area, includes multiple facilities that combine entertainment and services on a total area of approximately 20,000 square meters, he said.

It provides diverse options for visitors including restaurants and food carts, areas dedicated to children, sports facilities and bicycle and walking tracks to provide an attractive and suitable environment for families and users of all ages, he added.

Shams is currently developing an entertainment area that includes outdoor seating and play areas, he said, noting that details of the number of facilities and final elements of the project would be announced later after the procedures for selecting the contractor had been completed.
