Al Majaz
About Al Majaz
Al Majaz was developed by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority and initially launched as a tourism-focused project. It has evolved into a lively and well-integrated community catering to both residents and visitors. The community offers a wide range of apartment options in various sizes and layouts, from studios to spacious 4-bedroom units.
The sub-communities, Al Majaz 1, 2, and 3, each offer distinct environments. Al Majaz 2 is most popular among tenants due to its premium waterfront properties and vibrant lifestyle amenities. These include restaurants, splash parks, and access to a variety of leisure spots. Apartments come in multiple configurations, with 4-bedroom units reaching up to 4,500 sq. ft.
In addition to residences, Al Majaz also features commercial offerings like offices and showrooms, particularly near Al Majaz Waterfront. The area is well-suited for businesses looking for scenic, central locations. Reserved parking in residential buildings supports the commercial mix, even though visitor parking can be limited on weekends.
Sharjah’s tourism appeal enhances Al Majaz’s profile. It's home to notable hotels and the Al Majaz Amphitheatre, where major events take place annually. Its close proximity to Al Qasba, Al Noor Island, and Mamzar Beach further elevates the lifestyle offering in this community.
