Sharjah is already well known as the cultural capital of the Arab world, and has seen visitor numbers rising sharply over recent years. As part of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority’s 2021 strategic plan, the Emirate is hoping to welcome over 10 million visitors in just three years’ time. 

While investments are being made in various areas, including the expansion of Sharjah International Airport and new entertainment and lifestyle projects being developed by both the public and private sector, there are also a number of exciting new hospitality destinations in the pipeline. We’ve put our top five below:

Kalba Kingfisher Lodge
Located on the east coast of the UAE, in the Sharjah enclave of Kalba, Kalba Kingfisher Lodge will be an eco-tourism resort set in the area’s stunning mangroves. It features 20 luxury tents, each with a private swimming pool, as well as an outdoor yoga and wellness centre, restaurants and recreational areas.
