Al Zorah
About Al Zorah
Al Zorah is a coastal community in Ajman, developed by Al Zorah Development Company, a partnership between Solidere International and the Government of Ajman formed in 2007. This off-plan development, expected to be completed in Q4 2024, features a range of properties such as apartments (1 to 3 bedrooms), villas, and townhouses (3 to 6 bedrooms). These homes are spread across five sub-communities: The Shores, The Fairways, The Avenues, The Coves, and The Gates, each designed to integrate with the area’s natural surroundings and modern amenities.
The community’s location on the north-western end of Ajman along the Arabian Sea makes it a standout residential area. It’s easily accessible via Al Ittihad Street, connecting it to nearby emirates like Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. Al Zorah is known for its rich ecosystem, highlighted by the Al Zorah Natural Reserve, which features mangroves and a diverse bird population. This protected area offers residents a chance to engage with nature through activities like kayaking and birdwatching, making it a unique feature of the neighborhood.
A key attraction within Al Zorah is its 18-hole golf course, crafted by Nicklaus Design and managed by Troon Golf. Set against a backdrop of mangroves and sandy dunes, it provides a scenic and challenging experience for golf enthusiasts. The Fairways sub-community, in particular, arranges properties to maximize views of the golf course, lakes, and mangroves, enhancing the living experience for residents who enjoy outdoor pursuits.
Beyond nature, Al Zorah offers practical amenities like beachfront residences, a marina, and luxury resorts such as The Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah and LUX* Al Zorah, which opened in 2021. These elements, combined with retail facilities and pedestrian-friendly passages, create a well-rounded community for those seeking a peaceful yet connected lifestyle in Ajman.
