Aljada

Aljada is a landmark master-planned community in Sharjah, envisioned and developed by Arada. Set in the Muwaileh district on the edge of University City, Aljada spans approximately 24 million square feet (around 2.2 million square meters), making it one of Sharjah’s largest mixed-use destinations. Its position places residents minutes from key thoroughfares: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) for swift links to Dubai and the Northern Emirates, University City Road for direct access to the academic district, and Al Dhaid Road (E88) toward the interior of Sharjah. Sharjah International Airport sits roughly a 10-minute drive away, while landmarks such as University City (including the American University of Sharjah and University of Sharjah) and City Centre Al Zahia are close by. Aljada is known for a contemporary urban lifestyle anchored by community-wide amenities and a pedestrian-friendly streetscape. The community’s focal point, Madar at Aljada—home to leisure spaces, play areas, dining concepts, and event lawns—has become a destination in its own right for families across Sharjah. Aljada’s planned components also include a retail boulevard, hotels, a business park, and cultural and creative zones such as the Naseej District, alongside parks, jogging routes, cycle tracks, and family recreation facilities. Education is integral to the master plan, with SABIS International School — Aljada serving the neighborhood and additional nurseries planned to support young families. The location of Aljada appeals to a broad mix of residents. Families value proximity to top schools and the abundance of green spaces and playgrounds. Young professionals are drawn by easy commuting via E311 and the growing pipeline of offices, co-working spaces, and hospitality offerings within Aljada. Students and academic staff benefit from being next to University City while enjoying the expanding dining and entertainment options inside the community. For investors, Aljada’s scale, phased handovers, and strong connectivity have translated into sustained interest in both off-plan and completed homes. Day-to-day living in Aljada balances convenience with comfort. Residences range from studios and one- to four-bedroom apartments to townhouses and villas, catering to diverse budgets and space needs. Streets are designed with generous shading, active ground-floor retail, and frequent pocket parks, encouraging walking and cycling. The community’s management focuses on cleanliness, landscaping, and security, and the master plan emphasizes sustainable design principles to reduce heat gain and enhance outdoor comfort through much of the year. Connectivity remains a standout advantage. From Aljada, residents can reach Sharjah’s main business and cultural hubs in 15–20 minutes, Dubai International Airport in around 20 minutes (traffic-dependent), and major employment corridors in Dubai via E311 within roughly 25–35 minutes. Nearby districts such as Muwaileh Commercial, Al Juraina, and Al Zahia add further shopping, dining, and service options on top of what Aljada provides internally. In summary, Aljada delivers a modern, amenity-rich neighborhood experience within Sharjah city limits, combining urban convenience with integrated green spaces and a clear focus on liveability. With its strategic setting near University City and major roads, a wide housing mix, and community destinations like Madar at Aljada, the development continues to mature into a complete address for families, professionals, and students seeking a well-connected lifestyle.
