The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has signed an agreement with Afhad Holding LLC to activate a 15,095-square-metre plot in Kshisha into a new retail destination, marking a key step in expanding commercial infrastructure across Sharjah’s growing residential districts.

Located in Kshisha 1, the project will be developed on Shurooq-owned land and operated by Afhad Holding as a long-term retail and community asset. The destination will introduce new retail, service and lifestyle offerings closer to residents, supporting Kshisha’s continued growth as one of Sharjah’s emerging family-focused communities.

The agreement was signed at Al Bait Al Westi during an event organised by Invest in Sharjah and PwC, which brought together public and private sector leaders to discuss investment opportunities and cross-sector partnerships in the emirate. It was signed by H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, Chief Executive Officer of Shurooq, and Omar Bin Hamoodah, Partner of Afhad Holding LLC.

Turning residential growth into commercial opportunity

The new destination responds to the growing need for accessible retail and everyday services in Kshisha and surrounding areas. As Sharjah’s residential districts continue to expand, demand is rising for commercial spaces that are closer to where people live, reducing travel time and strengthening neighbourhood activity.

The project will support this shift by creating a new commercial node in Kshisha 1, serving residents, families and nearby communities with retail and community-facing services. It also reflects Shurooq’s wider approach to activating strategic land assets through long-term private sector partnerships that deliver both economic and social value.

Through the agreement, the project is positioned as a sustainable operating asset that can grow with the area and respond to future community needs.

From strategic land to long-term community value

H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer said: “Shurooq’s role is to enable developments that are commercially sound while remaining deeply connected to the needs of the community. In Kshisha, this means introducing a retail destination that supports the area’s growth, gives residents easier access to daily services and contributes to a more complete neighbourhood experience.”

He added: “This agreement with Afhad Holding reflects the strength of Sharjah’s long-term investment environment. It brings together a strategic land asset, a credible private sector partner and a clear community need, which is the kind of partnership model that supports sustainable growth and delivers value beyond the project itself.”

A retail destination designed around daily convenience

The Kshisha project will add new retail and service offerings to Kshisha 1, strengthening the area’s neighbourhood infrastructure and supporting the daily needs of residents.

The development is expected to serve as a community-facing destination that enhances convenience, supports local spending and contributes to the area’s commercial development. By bringing retail and services closer to homes, the project will help Kshisha evolve from a residential district into a more complete and connected community.

Afhad Holding: Investing in Sharjah’s long-term growth

Omar Bin Hamoodah said: “We are pleased to partner with Shurooq on the development of a new retail destination in Kshisha. This agreement reflects our confidence in Sharjah’s long-term growth and in the potential of its residential communities. Kshisha represents a strong opportunity to develop a retail asset that responds to market demand while serving the needs of residents.”

He added: “Afhad Holding’s approach is built on disciplined investment and long-term asset development. Through this project, we look forward to delivering a destination that enhances convenience, supports the community and contributes to the commercial development of one of Sharjah’s growing districts.”

Upcoming milestones to define the project’s identity and roadmap

Following the signing of the agreement, Shurooq and Afhad Holding will move into the next phase of planning and development for the Kshisha retail destination. Further details on the project’s official name, design direction, facilities, tenant mix and development roadmap will be announced in due course.

These upcoming updates will provide a clearer view of the destination’s positioning, its role within Kshisha’s growing residential community, and the services and experiences it will introduce for residents and visitors once completed.

Ajmal Dubai, the region’s most revered fragrance house with 75 years of olfactory artistry, has further expanded its retail footprint in the UAE with the launch of its 71st store in Sharjah’s Al Shaba. The opening strengthens the brand’s omnichannel presence and highlights its brick-and-mortar growth strategy as it continues to scale across key catchment areas in the Emirates.

The new outlet represents a strategic site selection in a high-footfall residential corridor, reinforcing Ajmal’s position as a dominant player in the UAE’s speciality retail segment and reflecting the brand’s confidence in the long-term performance of physical retail in the region.

Founded as a family business, Ajmal Dubai now operates in over 60 countries and is recognised as one of the region’s most established names in perfumery. The new Sharjah store further strengthens Ajmal’s UAE retail network, which continues to expand steadily year on year.

Designed to offer an immersive and sensorial journey, the Al Shaba store showcases Ajmal’s full fragrance portfolio from its signature oriental perfumes and contemporary blends to concentrated perfume oils and rare oud creations. The store’s interiors draw on Ajmal’s rich heritage of craftsmanship while creating a refined, welcoming environment for a new generation of fragrance enthusiasts.

Commenting on the milestone, Abdulla Ajmal, CEO of Ajmal Group, said: “Our 71^st store is not merely a number, it is a reflection of 75 years of trust that the consumers across the UAE have placed in Ajmal.”

He added: “At Ajmal, we believe that a great fragrance should feel like a memory you haven’t made yet. Every store we open is an invitation to that experience. Our ambition is not just to grow, it is to deepen the craft, honour the heritage of Oud and oriental perfumery, and ensure that artistry remains at the heart of everything we create.”

The UAE has played a defining role in shaping the global fragrance landscape, with Middle Eastern perfumery gaining increasing international recognition. Oud, the prized ingredient that Ajmal has championed for generations, is now one of the most coveted notes in modern perfumery worldwide.

Earlier this year, with the introduction of the “Scent of a City” campaign, the brand also unveiled a new identity—Ajmal Dubai. The campaign is an ode to Dubai, a story seventy-five years in the making.

With the opening of its 71st store, Ajmal Perfumes continues to strengthen its presence in the UAE while celebrating a legacy that has helped define the region’s fragrance culture for over seven decades.

His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurated the Fili Heritage Souq on Sunday morning, spanning an area of 2,065 square metres, making it a distinguished addition to the developmental and enhancement projects of “Fili Heritage” in the region.

H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan delivered a speech on the occasion, in which he congratulated the opening of numerous projects in the area that contribute to its development. He noted that progress follows a specific plan that preserves values and heritage, cares for all segments of society, supports them in various fields, and provides all services needed by the people of the region.

The Ruler of Sharjah emphasised that development in Sharjah proceeds according to a well-defined methodology he oversees, which prioritises human development and moral reform, alongside social, cultural, and economic growth that meets all the requirements for a dignified life. He noted that the central region represents the people of the desert and that development is advancing rapidly while maintaining customs, ethics, and heritage that reflect authenticity.

He highlighted his close monitoring and full supervision of the Sharjah Human Care programme from birth and even before, through all life stages until the formation of a family and acquisition of housing. He referred to the efforts of the “Rubu’ Qarn for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators,” where individuals pass through life stages via specialised institutions for all ages, offering activities and care that develop the capabilities of children and youth in various fields and prepare them for the future.

H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan explained that projects will continue in the region across multiple sectors, such as the Al Madam Hospital, which will serve the area and its surroundings and will be linked to the University Hospital in Sharjah, helping provide the best medical services. Additionally, the Al Modina Lake project will serve as a reserve for emergencies, and the restoration of several Al Madam forts will preserve and narrate the history of the region.

He concluded his speech advising the care and preservation of the family, ensuring that affection and mercy are the foundations of stability, based on the teachings of the noble religion and authentic values and customs. He confirmed that the emirate’s institutions and programmes work to enhance a dignified life for families.

H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan also toured the market, reviewing the variety of shops and multiple facilities offering many products to the market’s visitors. The market includes 13 shops and 5 kiosks providing handicrafts and local products such as incense, perfumes, camping equipment, and souvenirs, offering a unique experience that reflects the artistic and cultural heritage of the region.

During his tour, H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan met with the Emirati entrepreneurs participating in the market, learning about their business fields and the main products they offer to visitors, praising their efforts and dedication to establishing projects that present the cultural and popular heritage across various sectors.

The market provides an interactive pottery workshop, through which participants learn about the cultural history of ceramics in the region. Pottery has been linked to daily human life since ancient times, as a fundamental craft for storing water, food, cooking, and preservation, forming part of previous economic and livelihood activities. The workshop offers market visitors traditional shaping techniques, either by hand or using a wheel, as well as methods of decoration and engraving that reflect local taste and the environmental imprint of the region, allowing them to learn all stages of this craft.

The market also contains a coffee house that serves a variety of beverages and includes an exhibition demonstrating the traditional tools used for roasting, grinding, and preparing coffee, such as the mihamas, mihbash, dallah, and cups, with explanations of their use and importance in social gatherings. It also demonstrates the stages of preparing Arabic coffee, from roasting and grinding the beans to boiling and serving it according to proper etiquette.

The architectural character of Fili Heritage Market reflects the local environment and lifestyle, using available construction materials such as palm frond dwellings known as “areesh.” The construction utilised a mixture of clay and stone shaped into bricks, using materials derived from the surrounding environment, in addition to hand-carved wood, Islamic geometric decorations, and botanical engravings, giving the market a distinctive cultural and tourist appeal.

The market includes three main entrances overlooking the central plaza, two rear entrances from the parking areas, and a side entrance facing the main street parking, with 156 parking spaces available to serve visitors.

Accompanying the Ruler of Sharjah during the inauguration were: Sheikh Majid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Districts Affairs Department; Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Humaid bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chairman of Sharjah Sports Council; Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan; Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Owais, Minister of Federal National Council Affairs; and a number of senior officials and dignitaries of the region.

In an extraordinary milestone that adds to its scientific and environmental achievements, Sharjah Safari, the largest safari outside Africa and one of the flagship projects of the Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) in Sharjah, officially launched its fifth season today, 22 September, with two remarkable events: the birth of the park’s fifth African Savannah elephant calf, the world’s largest land mammal, and the first-ever ring-tailed lemur twins, a species native to Madagascar and listed globally as endangered.

Beyond Tourism: A Global Platform for Conservation

The arrival of the new elephant calf marks a significant step forward in Sharjah Safari’s breeding programs. The African Savannah elephant is not only a symbol of the African wilderness but also a keystone species whose survival is vital to ecosystem balance. Veterinary teams and nutrition experts at Sharjah Safari closely monitored the mother and calf from the moment of birth, ensuring their safety and health in line with the highest global standards of animal care.

Equally exceptional is the birth of the first ring-tailed lemur twins, known for their strong social bonds and distinctive striped tails used for balance and communication. This rare event represents a scientific contribution that goes beyond Sharjah Safari’s breeding programs, reinforcing international efforts to protect endangered species and ensuring their survival for future generations.

184 New Births in Q2 2025

Adding further to its success, Sharjah Safari recorded 184 new births of diverse birds and mammals in the second quarter of 2025. This achievement highlights the effectiveness of carefully managed breeding and care programs, supported by safe, natural habitats designed to replicate African ecosystems. With these additions, the Safari now hosts 151 species, including giraffes, lions, elephants, rhinos, and rare birds, underscoring its role as a thriving sanctuary for biodiversity.

Sharjah’s Global Standing in Conservation

Her Excellency Hana Saif Al Suwaidi, Chairperson of the Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) in Sharjah, emphasized that these milestones reflect the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to establish the emirate as a global hub for biodiversity preservation and wildlife conservation.

She said:”The new season extends Sharjah Safari’s legacy of achievements, where every birth is a testament to the success of our breeding and care programs. These results highlight the ecological balance we strive to achieve and the tireless efforts of our dedicated veterinarians, nutritionists, and environmental experts, who apply the highest standards of care and provide safe, natural habitats. The growing number of new births is living proof of the effectiveness of our strategies to safeguard endangered species.”

A Living Classroom for Families and Students

Her Excellency Hana Saif Al Suwaidi added:”The new season offers visitors an extraordinary experience that mirrors the landscapes of Africa, allowing them to witness rare births such as the elephant calf and lemur twins up close, moments filled with wonder and inspiration. Sharjah Safari is not only a recreational destination but also an educational and research platform. It provides children, students, and families with a unique opportunity to engage directly with the wonders of wildlife, while interactive programs raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection and biodiversity conservation. Through immersive tours, we combine enjoyment with knowledge, instilling values of sustainability and environmental responsibility, and inspiring visitors to actively contribute to protecting nature for generations to come.”

Cyber Gear, the AI agency in Dubai has launched a new initiative -RatedG.ai to promote the use of AI in creating videos and short movies.

RatedG.ai is built for AI professionals and enthusiasts, filmmakers, storytellers, and curious creators interested in learning how to turn ideas into professional-quality video using the latest AI tools.

According to Sharad Agarwal, CEO of Cyber Gear, “Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping the movie industry, and its influence is only going to grow. Platforms like TikTok Instagram, and YouTube Shorts are driving snackable video formats. AI tools like ChatGPT or Sudowrite can assist writers in brainstorming ideas, generating dialogue, and even creating full scripts. Studios are already experimenting with AI to predict what kinds of stories or genres will perform well based on audience data.”

According to ChatGPT, AI filmmaking is expected to reach USD 716.8 million in 2025 and an astounding USD 2.56 billion by 2032.

AI can streamline casting by analyzing actors’ past performances and public reception. It can also help in location scouting, budgeting, and scheduling, making pre-production more efficient and cost-effective.

Generative AI tools like Runway, Sora, or Stable Diffusion can create high-quality visual effects or even generate entire scenes. This reduces the cost and time involved in traditional CGI.

We’re seeing the rise of digital humans,  AI-generated or digitally recreated actors, like a young Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian. This could allow unavailable actors to appear in new films, raising both opportunities and ethical questions.

AI can generate voiceovers, sound effects, and even full musical scores. Companies like ElevenLabs and AIVA are leading the way in synthetic voice and AI music composition.

AI is being used to analyze audience preferences and predict box office success. This helps studios decide which projects to greenlight and how to market them most effectively.

AI may lead to more personalized or interactive movie experiences, like choose your own adventure stories or AI-generated scenes that adapt to individual viewer preferences.

Key Growth Drivers:

Marketing and Advertising: Businesses are leveraging AI-generated videos for cost-effective and scalable content creation.

Personalization: Data-driven personalization will allow brands to create hyper-targeted video content.

Education: AI tools are being used to create engaging educational content, enhancing learning experiences.

E-commerce: Retailers are adopting AI videos to showcase products dynamically, improving customer engagement.

As technology advances and adoption increases, AI-generated videos are set to become a staple in digital content strategies worldwide. AI video production does away with the need for on-site filming.

This innovative approach allows for greater flexibility and efficiency, as AI can generate high-quality visuals and scenes that might be impossible to capture through conventional methods. This not only saves time and reduces costs, but also opens up a realm of creative possibilities.
