Websites for businesses in Al Majaz, Sharjah
Al Majaz mixes homes, hotels and a lagoon-side waterfront, so a business there is likely to be checked on a phone before anyone walks in. The website should match what the map promises.
Al Majaz is a mixed-use district in central Sharjah arranged around Khalid Lagoon, home to the Al Majaz Waterfront and its musical fountain. A business website there should show accurate opening days and hours, directions, and menus or service lists in Arabic and English, with WhatsApp contact. Tooba Web builds it remotely from Istanbul and has no Sharjah office.

What is Al Majaz?
Al Majaz is a mixed-use district that Wikipedia also calls Downtown Sharjah, built around Khalid Lagoon. The article gives an area of 3.34 square kilometres and a population of 116,503 for 2015, and divides the district into Al Majaz 1, 2 and 3 on different sides of the lagoon. Landmarks it names include City Centre Sharjah, Al Noor Island, Al Qasba and the Al Majaz Waterfront.
It adds that residential areas date from the 1990s onward and mentions a couple of hotels. We found no verified breakdown of businesses by sector, so we give none.
What is the Al Majaz Waterfront?
The Al Majaz Waterfront is a lagoon-side leisure destination developed by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), as its first project. Khaleej Times reported the Ruler's inauguration on 27 March 2012 and placed the site between Jamal Abdul Nasser Street and Khalid Lagoon Corniche, in an area of about 100,000 people.
- The Sharjah Musical Fountain, 220 metres wide, with water rising up to 100 metres.
- A Splash Park described as the first of its kind in the emirate.
- Restaurants and cafes overlooking the fountain, with 1,000 parking spaces.
Visit Sharjah's tourism blog also promotes the waterfront as a setting for business meetings and luncheons.
Which details should an Al Majaz business website publish?
It should publish the practical details that a map listing cannot hold, and keep them current. The table lists the essentials.
| Detail | What to publish |
|---|---|
| Opening days and hours | Exact days, plus changes for Ramadan and public holidays |
| Directions and parking | Street names, a nearby landmark, a parking note and a map link |
| Menu or service list | Readable text pages, not only photographs or PDF files |
| Languages | Arabic and English, with right-to-left layout for Arabic |
| Contact | A WhatsApp button, a phone number and a short form |
Khaleej Times reported that Sharjah government departments adopted a Monday-to-Thursday week with a Friday-to-Sunday weekend from 1 January 2022, while private firms could choose their own. We have not checked later changes, so say which days you open instead of assuming a pattern.
How does local search work for a business with a real premises here?
Local search help is only honest for a business that really trades from a premises in Al Majaz. If that is you, we make sure the website shows the same name, address, phone number and hours as your map listing, and we add structured data so search engines can read them. You own and verify the listing yourself, because it depends on a real location.
We have no verified data on how people search for businesses in this district, so we quote no search volumes. Arabic is the UAE's official language and English is the most used language in business, according to Wikipedia, so we plan both versions together.
Who licenses a business in Al Majaz?
A mainland business in Al Majaz is licensed by Sharjah's Economic Development Department, while a free zone company answers to its own zone authority. The u.ae portal lists the department as Sharjah's licensing authority and says every UAE business must have a physical address that meets the emirate's requirements. Please confirm the rules for your activity with the department or a lawyer.
How does remote delivery from Istanbul work for an Al Majaz business?
We run an Al Majaz project from Istanbul, entirely by message and video, because Tooba Web has no office, staff, address or Google Business Profile in the UAE. We have no tie to Shurooq or any venue in the district, and Istanbul is one hour behind Sharjah.
Send us your menu or service list, opening times and photographs of your premises on WhatsApp (+90 216 393 10 07). We return a draft, you correct names, items or hours, and we revise until you approve. Paid advertising is a separate step: Google Ads or Meta ads can follow once the site is ready. Invoices are paid by bank transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the Al Majaz Waterfront?
Khaleej Times placed it on Khalid Lagoon in Sharjah, between Jamal Abdul Nasser Street and Khalid Lagoon Corniche. Shurooq developed it. Check a live map before giving directions, because our sources do not give walking times, entrances or current parking arrangements.
Which days should my Al Majaz website say I am open?
The days you actually open. Khaleej Times reported that Sharjah government departments moved to a Friday-to-Sunday weekend from 1 January 2022, and that private firms could choose their own. We have not verified later changes, so state your own days and update them whenever they change.
Can you set up my Google Business Profile for an Al Majaz shop?
The listing belongs to you and depends on a real premises, so you create and verify it. We can prepare the website so the name, address, phone number and hours match it, and we can advise on what to check. We do not create listings for places where we have no presence.
Can you build an ordering system for an Al Majaz cafe?
No. We do not build online shops or ordering checkouts. We can build menu pages, an enquiry form and WhatsApp buttons, and link out to a delivery or booking platform you already use, so customers can still order while payments stay on that platform.
Which languages will Al Majaz visitors expect?
Arabic is the official language of the UAE, and Wikipedia says English is the most used language in business and among expatriates. We usually build English and Arabic together, with right-to-left layout. Add other languages only where you can name the visitors you serve, and have a fluent reader check them.
