Sharjah Investment and Development Authority’s (Shurooq) AED 45 million (US$ 12.3m) Al Badayer Desert Camp project is now underway.
The development, which is expected to become one of Sharjah’s premium leisure and adventure destinations, will feature a unique set of experiences for desert adventurers within the golden dunes of the emirate’s middle region.
The project aligns with Shurooq’s comprehensive strategy to develop a variety of Sharjah’s vast oases and northern regions.
The 24,000 square metres (258,334 sq. ft.) Al Badayer Desert Camp includes an array of amenities and facilities that meet the needs of the most discerning of visitors, including its urban resort, desert lodge, restaurant and cafés.
A main feature is its amphitheatre which will host live activities and multiple entertainment events under the stars. Additional facilities also include a mosque, recreational tents, shops, kiosks, turrets and shaded parking areas for cars and buses.
Al Badayer Desert Camp is a 40-minute-drive away from the city of Sharjah and once completed will give visitors the opportunity to explore the wilderness and take exciting and challenging desert activities.
“Since its inception in 2009, Shurooq has implemented an array of leisure and tourist projects across all regions of Sharjah. The positive commercial effect of these projects has added value to the emirate’s economy and contributed directly to the success of its economic diversification plan. Shurooq has been the major driving force behind this transformation, and through Al Badayer Desert Camp project we are pleased to begin the development of this project and to bring this diversification to life,” said His Excellency Marwan Bin Jassim Al Sarkal, CEO of Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq).
Shurooq is developing several leisure and tourist ventures in Sharjah, the most recent of which is the Mleiha Archaeological and eco-tourism project, which was launched at the beginning of this year. The facility represents Shurooq’s growing interest in sustainable and Eco-tourism projects in line with its vision to develop environment-friendly destinations on a global scale.
