patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme
Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
During the forum, a key highlight was the exhibit featuring Shurooq’s residential project Ajwan,
located in the picturesque city of Khorfakkan. With its strategic location, breathtaking views of the
Gulf of Oman, and majestic mountains, the project seamlessly blends natural beauty with elegant
living spaces.
During the two-day forum, Shurooq’s exhibit garnered significant interest from investors seeking
projects with strong ROI potential and desirable locations for holiday homes or weekend retreats.
Ajwan aims to create a thriving community, offering a blend of hospitality, retail, residential, and
entertainment options, all designed to cater to families and those in search of memorable
