Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq)

A public developer behind Sharjah destinations

Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) is a government entity established in 2009 to support Sharjah as a tourism, investment and business destination. Its work spans waterfronts, cultural venues, leisure projects, heritage districts, nature escapes and hospitality developments across the emirate.

For visitors, Shurooq destinations usually combine public spaces, dining, events and family-friendly experiences rather than a single ride-focused park model. This makes its venues useful places to plan an evening walk, a cultural stop, a meal by the water or a relaxed family outing.
