Sharjah International Airport is around a 10–15-minute drive, while Dubai can be reached in roughly 25–30 minutes via E311. Developed by Sharjah Holding, a partnership involving Majid Al Futtaim, Al Zahia is known for its family-focused, suburban lifestyle. The community blends villas, townhouses, and low- to mid-rise apartments across landscaped, pedestrian-friendly streets, with multiple themed parks, play areas, and a residents’ clubhouse forming the social core. Al Zahia has become a preferred address for families, professionals, and faculty working in Sharjah and nearby academic institutions, drawn by the gated environment, organized neighborhood planning, and proximity to daily necessities.

Surrounding districts such as Muwailih Commercial offer supermarkets, specialty grocers, and casual eateries, while nearby medical facilities include University Hospital Sharjah and a range of clinics along University City Road. The area is also known for its concentration of schools and nurseries, making school runs practical for families based in Al Zahia.
