Al Majaz is a central Sharjah district on Khalid Lagoon, better known for its waterfront parks and leisure spaces than for any single landmark building. This guide covers orientation for visitors and residents.
What Al Majaz is known for
- Al Majaz Waterfront: Visit Sharjah describes it as a lakeside hub on Khalid Lagoon with the Sharjah Musical Fountain, mini-golf and the Maraya Art Park, suited to evening strolls and family picnics (Visit Sharjah, read 6 October 2026).
- Al Qasba: according to Visit Sharjah, Al Qasba is in the Al Majaz area and its kilometre-long canal connects Khalid Lagoon and Al Khan Lagoon. The tourism guide lists pedestrian bridges, restaurants and cafés, the Maraya Art Centre and the Masrah Al Qasba Theatre (Visit Sharjah, read 6 October 2026). See our Al Qasba guide.
- Gardens and walks: the waterfront’s gardens and lagoon-side paths are a common choice for an evening out; in summer, go after sunset.
Getting around
The district is close to the city centre and to Al Khan. Evenings, weekends and event days can be busy; arrive early for parking.
