Area Overview

Description

Umm Fannain (often spelled Um Fanain) operates strictly as a highly strategic locality inside Sharjah—absolutely not Ajman, despite hugging the Ajman border. Positioned near the colossal Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), it has secured global notoriety as the definitive home of Sharjah Sustainable City. This astonishing AED 2 billion mega-joint-venture (executed between Shurooq and Diamond Developers) dominates 7.2 million sq ft. It is a radically green, ultra-secure gated master community forcefully delivering 1,250 smart-tech, solar-powered luxury villas (ranging from 3 to 5 bedrooms) phased over four violent drops. It commands a lightning-fast 10-minute commute to Sharjah International Airport.
