The Al Suhub Rest House is at an altitude of 580 metres above sea level, and will give a breathtaki­ng view of the city of Khorfakkan from all directions.

The Ruler of Sharjah His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi directed the establishm­ent of the Al Suhub Rest House during the “Direct Line” programme broadcast on Sharjah TV and Radio in 2020.

It should be noted that there are several recently completed projects in Khorfakkan and other projects are in progress.

Among those completed projects are Lu’lu’yah Park on an area of 1,200 square metres, at a total cost of Dhs1.3 million.

It includes a lawn play area, a children’s playground and a farm building with energy-saving light poles.

The engineerin­g department also completed the constructi­on of Al Zubara Park, covering an area of 2,350 square meters at a cost of Dhs1 million. It has all the modern amenities.

Mleiha Archaeolog­ical Centre, a tourism and leisure destinatio­n from Sharjah Investment and Developmen­t Authority (Shurooq), has launched a new on-the-move sky watching experience that allows people to organise and enjoy exclusive stargazing sessions at their preferred location.

Last months heikhsul tan had directed to allocate Dhs150 million for the second phase of constructi­on and pavement internal roads, in the suburbs of Al Gharayen, Al Siouh and Al Rahmaniyah.

This was announced by Yousef Al Suwaiji, Chairman of the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA), during a phone call to the “Direct Line” radio programme broadcast by Sharjah Radio and Television.

He said, “His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah has directed to allocate Dhs150 million to the second phase of constructi­on and pavement of internal roads in the suburbs of Al Gharayen, Al Siouh and Al Rahmaniyah each.”

Following a directive by Sheikh Sultan, Dhs2.5 million had been allocated for the purchase of new titles from both Arab and foreign publishers participat­ing in the 12th Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF).

This annual tribute is in line with His Highness’s leading efforts to enrich the emirate’s public libraries with high-quality and latest books and other knowledge resources for children and youth in the UAE.
