Al Taawun
About Al Taawun
Al Taawun is a waterfront residential community located near the Sharjah-Dubai border. The area has evolved into a mixed-use neighbourhood filled with apartment towers, retail spaces, hotels, and community facilities. Many of the buildings are equipped with amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centres, and parking areas.
The neighbourhood is considered one of the most popular places to rent in Sharjah. With studio to 4-bedroom apartments, Al Taawun caters to a diverse range of residents from singles to large families. Its location along major roads and its accessibility to other Sharjah landmarks make it a highly practical place to live.
Residents benefit from an active lifestyle, thanks to the availability of nearby parks, nurseries, clinics, and fitness centres. Key attractions such as Al Mamzar Beach and Al Qasba are also within close range. While primarily residential, Al Taawun also includes a number of hotels and commercial facilities.
Despite its many positives, Al Taawun does face peak-hour traffic due to its location near the border. However, its amenities, affordability, and central location continue to make it a favoured choice for both residents and investors.
