Recently, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, who is the Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, visited the retreat. The Above The Clouds project is situated on the Al Deem mountain, which is located in Kalba City. So, this retreat is going to be situated at an altitude of 850 m above sea level and will cover a total area of 4700 m². Comprising two floors, the first floor will feature a restaurant, open cafe, and reading area while the ground floor will be a multipurpose hall. There will also be a prayer room, restrooms, multiple viewing platforms, a theatre, green areas, and a children’s playground located on the ground floor.
The Retreat Will Offer Panoramic View Of The City
In a report by Sharjah Media, it was mentioned that the unique location will offer visitors a panoramic view of the city’s coastline and the surrounding mountain area. Not to mention, during his visit, the ruler reviewed roadwork plans that would serve the new projects. This includes two roads, which will total 10 km and two bridges. In case you’re wondering, one of these roads will connect the Wadi Al Helo Tunnel to the new Sharjah-Kalba Road. And the other one will lead to mountain peaks and development projects. This road features three lanes for vehicles with high safety standards that facilitate bus and heavy vehicle access.
