The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has announced the launch of the Khorfakkan Beach expansion project.
The project will expand the 1.5km stretch of beach to 2.5km and is set for completion by the end of 2022, a statement said.
The project will include restaurants and cafés, a gym, fountain and other attractions, including service facilities and amenities that cater to the needs of all visitors including parking, it added.
Khawla Sayed M Al Hashimi, director of Project Development of Shurooq, said the project seeks to bolster the emirate’s tourism appeal.
“Located in one of the most stunning natural coastlines with picturesque natural views, Khorfakkan is one of the most attractive cities in the Eastern region. It has also been attracting qualitative investments, and the new beach expansion will further enhance investments opportunities across a variety of sectors,” she added.
The first phase of the Khorfakkan Beach project was developed by Shurooq in collaboration with a host of public and private entities.
Valued at AED95 million, the first phase was inaugurated by the Ruler of Sharjah in December 2019 and featured football and basketball courts, multipurpose sports courts, a walkway overlooking the beach, with showers, bathrooms and changing rooms, aqua sport and an adventure corner.
It also included a central plaza, 315-vehicle parking lot, eight food trucks and four kiosks, 15 retail units as well as a beach park, picnic areas, and areas dedicated to families.
