00:00Sharjah is a hidden gem. We've always believed in that and that's one of the reasons why we
00:07first started our developments in Sharjah because we've always said it's a hidden gem.
00:12But if I want to elaborate further I would say it's exciting, there's plenty of things to discover,
00:20it's progressive which people might think how's that because you know it's got so much culture
00:26but yes it does but at the same time it's very forward-thinking and there are many
00:31things that we'll discuss that it's doing which is thinking about the future.
00:39This is the time to be in Sharjah if you're talking about being a resident or working or
00:45a visitor. Now Sharjah is developing in many fronts if we talk about the entrepreneurial space
00:53with the likes of Shira who's doing an amazing job with the incubating entrepreneurs.
00:58If you talk about Sharjah Research Innovation Technology Park, a bit of a mouthful, which
01:05has created a nice environment for those industries to set up base.
01:12If we go into tourism which has always, Sharjah's always carved its special niche
01:19section within tourism for itself but it's also developing new areas like the likes of
01:26the opening of the Kurfa Khan amphitheatre or the House of Wisdom and many more. Sharjah
01:32actually has been booming the last few years even in the backdrop of a pandemic
01:39they've seen strong numbers. For example Q1 this year they've posted 85% growth compared to last
01:48year. Ourselves, we are also posting great numbers. We've been growing since we've launched
01:55Arada at an average of 30% every year. During the pandemic we've had our best numbers and
02:04this year as well we've posted over 50% growth in our first quarter. So there's a lot of things
02:11happening in Sharjah, it's definitely an exciting time to be in Sharjah and it's respectful. It's
02:17definitely one of the safest places to raise a family, to study or to visit.
