The Sharjah International Photography Festival (Xposure) 2017 is one of the most important events celebrating the arts on the UAE’s annual calendar, and the participation of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) speaks volumes about the Authority’s commitment to enhancing Sharjah's appeal as an investment, tourism, and cultural destination.

At the Shurooq stand, one finds a tastefully curated selection of photographs showcasing some of their biggest projects – the Al Noor Island, the Kalba Eco-tourism project and the Mleiha Architectural and Eco-tourism destination. Each property’s setting is unique, and Shurooq’s ability to establish a perfect harmony between natural and manmade elements to further enhance the beauty and grandeur of the Emirate of Sharjah is clearly reflected by the displayed works.

Shurooq is committed to the spirit of conservation and the preservation of local culture and heritage in Sharjah and the UAE, and this display is a great way of sharing that spirit with local communities, sensitising them towards the importance of environment friendliness.

A journey through the Shurooq exhibition is like a journey through the destinations themselves. A treat to the eyes and to one’s artistic sensibilities, and should definitely be on your to-do list this weekend.
