UAE: New beach corniche inaugurated in Sharjah
HH Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi on Friday inaugurated Kalba Beach Corniche.
The 9.4 km-long corniche is one of the development projects aimed at raising the efficiency of the infrastructure and providing services.
The level of the road was raised to include a rainwater drainage system to protect the installations from natural conditions and tides.
The Corniche also has a 7.6 km-long and 4-metre-wide running track, covered sea-facing benches and pedestrian crossings. More than 1,500 trees have been planted along the beach.
