Mubasher: A new mixed-use community development project worth AED 7 billion ($1.91 billion) will be built in the heart of Dubai, Arabian Business said, according to a recent statement.
Araa Group Advocates and Legal Consultants in addition to Loulouat Al Sharq for Investment and Real Estate Development have revealed details of the Knooz Al Sharq City, a project with a land space exceeding 20 million square feet.
This new project will combine architectural styles from the Mamluk, Umayyad, and prominent Islamic eras, Arabian Business added.
Knooz Al Sharq City will include traditional houses, shops, museums showcasing Mamluk, Umayyad as well as other Islamic artefacts, in addition to restaurants, traditional bathrooms, recreational facilities and venues for social events and performances.
“It will also be home to a market for crafts and gifts, sports clubs, social and cultural forums, sparks, and a special area designated for public auctions where antiques, art masterpieces, artefacts and paintings will be auctioned,” Arabian Business said, according to the statement.
Surrounded by a giant wall, the city will have seven giant gates constituting its main entrances; four gates will be named after the late Sheikh Zayed, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.
The remaining three gates will be named after prominent Islamic cultures, such as the Mamluk and Umayyad Gates.
