Al Zorah begins work on five major roads

Dubai: Al Zorah, the Dh220 billion community in Ajman, yesterday said, it had started preliminary construction work for its five major roads.

Pre-qualification documents have also been sent to both marine and infrastructure works contractors, the company said.

Located along Ajman's beachfront and creek, Al Zorah will be a self-contained city containing varied residences, offices, retail outlets, schools, hospitals and leisure facilities including marinas and a number of five-star resort hotels.

The project is being developed by Al Zorah Development Company, a joint venture between the Government of Ajman and Solidere International Limited, a leader in urban planning and the development of large scale projects in the Middle East and Mediterranean region.

Dar Al Handasah was appointed as the infrastructure design consultant, while COWI from Denmark has been chosen as the marine design consultant and Ove Arup as the sustainability consultant.

Situated just 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the development will reflect the emirate's natural beauty.
