Inaugurating the commercial buildings in Dibba Al Hisn, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, announced new development projects for the city with a total cost of AED2 billion.

His Highness indicated that the hospital would include outpatient clinics and a helipad for emergencies to be transported to the University Hospital in Sharjah. His Highness explained that job vacancies are critical factors that lead to stability and settlement in any society.

His Highness pointed out that the beautifully designed commercial building project sits strategically, with a view of the ocean and the canal, which the government rebuilt.

His Highness directed that the buildings' owners be compensated with AED150 thousand for cessation of income, stressing that it is their right and not a grant.

His Highness also discussed the development of the old city and Dibba Fort, consisting of 3 forts: a fort from the remains of Hormuz, a Portuguese fort, and the Qawasim fort. His Highness revealed that the restoration would be a preparation for registering it with "UNESCO".

His Highness the Ruler explained that Dibba Al Hisn's archaeological sites won't be affected by urbanism, turning the city into a remarkable tourist attraction.
