Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Culture Department (SCD) has released the 73rd issues of Al Sharqiya and Al Wusta magazines for October 2025, both highlighting the growing developmental landscape across the emirate’s eastern and central regions.

Al Sharqiya Magazine: Heritage and community voices

In its “Achievement” file, Al Sharqiya spotlights major road projects completed in 2025 by the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority, along with ongoing works and future plans. The issue also features an interview with Dr. Ruqayya Al Amiri, head of the Marine Biology Department at Khor Fakkan University, and shares community stories from residents of Khor Fakkan and Kalba, including traditional culinary experiences.

The magazine covers cultural heritage through a photographic survey of Kalba Nursery, the city’s first public preschool, and reports on the 12th Dibba Al Hisn Dried Fish and Marine Fishing Festival. It also presents the journey of Israa Al Hosani, leader of the first women’s diving team in the eastern region, alongside profiles of innovators in artificial intelligence and software, and articles on mountain trees and the legacy of pioneering fisherman Rashid Khalaf Al Zaabi.

Al Wusta Magazine: Economic growth and cultural heritage

The 73rd edition of Al Wusta highlights the region’s economic and industrial renaissance under Sharjah’s strategic development plans aimed at creating a competitive and integrated urban model. The issue includes an interview with Dr. Ruqayya Awad Harib Al Ketbi of Al Dhaid University, alongside personal stories from Mohammed Awad bin Falaq Al Ketbi and entrepreneur Shamsa Al Ketbi.

The magazine also documents Sharjah’s participation in the 2025 International Government Communication Forum, its efforts in natural food production, and Al Dhaid University’s engagement in discussions on community education. Features include the environmental value of the Mleiha area, the swimming journey of young Abdulrahman Saeed Al Khasouni, and the cultural role of poetry in promoting noble values.

Sports coverage recognises the achievements of Al Dhaid Cultural and Sports Club’s karate team, and a tribute is paid to the late Musbah bin Mubarak Al Jiza’i Al Ketbi, a proud custodian of Bedouin heritage.
