Through a curated selection of 18 cultural and leisure destinations across different cities in the emirate, Shurooq has positioned Sharjah as a destination where the season's heat is met with well-designed, family-friendly, and culturally engaging alternatives.

SHARJAH'S LONGEST STRETCHES OF SAND AND SUMMER BREEZE:

Shurooq's two standout coastal destinations-Khorfakkan Beach and Al Heera Beach-offer the longest beachfronts in their areas, each stretching 3.5 km along beautiful, well-developed shores. Whether you're after seaside adventure or peaceful moments by the water, both beaches are set up for memorable summer escapes.

At Khorfakkan Beach, the dramatic backdrop of the Hajar Mountains meets turquoise waters in a setting perfect for thrill-seekers and beach lovers alike. From kayaking and jet skiing to football and padel courts, there's plenty to do — or simply unwind at one of the 21+ F&B spots serving everything from local flavours to international bites. Art murals, shaded spots, and boat tours make it a lively destination for families and groups.
