Sharjah 24: Kalba has had substantial tourism development under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
Recent projects include the Hanging Gardens, Al Hefaiyah Lake, and the Rest Stop. Kalba is today an attractive tourist destination, with a diversified scenery of mountains, plains, valleys, and an 11-kilometre beach.
The newly opened Al Hefaiyah Lake, nestled in the mountains, spans 132,000 square metres and can hold 155 million gallons of rainwater. It has restaurants, cafes, and sporting facilities, including mountain and water sports.
The Hanging Gardens, located on the Kalba-Wadi Al Helo Road, cover 1.6 million square feet and feature over 100,000 trees, flowers, and a waterfall. The "Kalba Gateway" project will connect the gardens to Al Hefaiyah Lake. His Highness also directed the creation of a multi-story car park to accommodate the influx of guests.
Kalba is home to several environmental reserves, including the Al Hefaiyah Reserve, the Al Ghayl Reserve, and the Mangroves Reserve. The Kalba Bird of Prey Centre and Kalba Mangrove Centre are two major attractions.
Kalba's location along the Arabian Sea allows it to provide maritime sites such as the 11-kilometre Kalba Corniche and Kalba Lake, as well as parks and gardens.
The Clock Tower, which stands in the centre of Al Wahda Street, has become a Kalba landmark. The city also has heritage attractions, such as the Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi House Museum, Kalba Fort, and the recently rebuilt Kalba Heritage Market.
