Arada has officially opened the access road connecting the Aljada megaproject in Sharjah to a major arterial route for the first time. The entry and exit point linking the community and Al Dhaid Road (E88/S128) unlocks faster connectivity for both residents and visitors to Aljada with a wide range of key Sharjah destinations.

The link road will allow motorists to enter or exit Aljada via East Boulevard, one of the megaproject’s two main avenues, adjacent to the Nest student housing complex. Residents of Aljada will now have much easier access to major sites located along Al Dhaid Road, including the next-door Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP), University City, House of Wisdom, and the Al Jawaher Reception & Convention Centre, all of which are now within a five-minute drive.

Students staying at Nest will also be able to easily access a series of nearby institutions such as University of Sharjah, Higher Colleges of Technology and American University of Sharjah via the complimentary shuttle bus services that are laid on for all Nest residents. In addition, students will also be able to benefit from the new pedestrian and cycling routes that the link provides, supported by Arada’s sustainability mobility solution, Yalla Bikes.

The new link also creates direct connectivity with Sharjah International Airport, a fast-growing hub currently welcoming over 15 million passengers every year, opening up an easily accessible stopover destination for dining, retail and entertainment for tourists and residents alike.

The inauguration of the link took place on 30 October, with officials from Arada, Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCDTA), Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) and Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) all attending a ceremony to mark the occasion.

Amit Arora, Chief Operating Officer of Arada said: “This is a major milestone for Aljada, enhancing accessibility, reducing journey times and improving traffic flow for visitors and residents of one of the UAE’s fastest-growing projects.

“Aljada continues to cement its position as the most exciting new destination in Sharjah, with around 30% of the community’s 25,000 homes now completed, alongside a wealth of other entertainment, retail, educational and sporting attractions.”

HE Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, said: “This project represents a significant milestone that embodies Sharjah’s vision for enhancing quality of life and upgrading infrastructure. It plays a crucial role in fostering economic and tourism growth in the region while creating a harmonious environment that blends comfort and luxury, thereby supporting our commitment to sustainable development. We firmly believe that connecting communities to key destinations not only facilitates movement but also enriches the visitor experience, making Sharjah an increasingly attractive destination for investment and tourism.”

“Our ambition is to lead the way in sustainable urban development, where innovative technological solutions align with environmental initiatives to guarantee a high quality of life for all residents. Our strategy focuses on improving accessibility to facilities and services, positioning Sharjah as the preferred choice for work, living, and tourism.”

Residents and visitors can already enjoy a variety of amenities, including the SABIS International School-Aljada, a Wellfit flagship gym, the Zad food truck park, and the Aljada Skate Park, all surrounded by lush green landscapes. East Boulevard, a tree-lined shopping avenue, has quickly become a central shopping and lifestyle destination within the AED35 billion megaproject. This vibrant spot features 87 new shops, cafes, and restaurants, making it one of the most popular social hubs in the UAE.

Spanning 24 million square feet, Aljada is Sharjah’s largest project to date, transforming the Emirate with its residential districts, hospitality, entertainment, sports, education, healthcare, and a business park—all within a walkable, green community.
