It was built right at the entrance of the historic city to welcome guests and tourists from across the country and around the world.
Held under the patronage of His Highness sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and ruler of Sharjah, the launch was led by engineer Salah bin Butti Al Muhairi, adviser to the Sharjah Department of Town Planning and Survey.
