SHARJAH Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has announced that the Mysk Moon Retreat has begun welcoming guests to experience the emirate’s first-of-its-kind luxury glamping destination, while unveiling four new luxury hospitality projects in Sharjah’s Central and Eastern regions.

The family-friendly Mysk Moon Retreat comprises 10 single-bed domes with private pools, four family tents with private pools, and two single-bed tents. Each unit is self-sufficient and fitted with all essential amenities that guests would require, including a private barbecue area, in addition to a lobby, and a common area.

The four new luxury hospitality projects in Sharjah’s Central and Eastern regions include: Al Jabal Resort and a hotel, both of which will take shape in the city of Khorfakkan; a luxurious hotel in the city of Kalba; and Al Bridi Resort at the Sharjah Safari project in the city of Al Dhaid, a Wam news agency report said.

Al Jabal Resort overlooks Soueifa Beach, situated between Khorfakkan Beach and Luluya Beach, and comprises 45 eco-friendly units with one to three bedrooms, and a private royal suite with swimming pool. In addition, the 187,000-sq-m project which is being developed on the slopes of the Al Soueifa mountain, will feature a restaurant, gym, kids play zone, reception and lobby. Various attractions around the project will be connected via walking routes and tracks with a completion date set for March 2022.

The 28,000-sq-m hospitality project in Khorfakkan, opposite the Khorfakkan Port, will feature 75 luxurious units, UAE’s first waterpark on the east coast, a shopping complex, restaurant, gym, spa, marina, and residential units.

The 2,500-sq-m hospitality project in Kalba will include 80 units, two restaurants including a café in the lobby, a gym, spa, swimming pool and meeting halls.

The Al Bridi Resort in Al Dhaid is being developed in partnership with the Environment and Protected Areas Authority, as part of the Sharjah Safari project, the largest safari in the world outside Africa. It is expected to be launched at the end of this year.
