"Enough of concrete and let us build the human being"
The slogan by His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, the Ruler of Sharjah since 1972, has now become a reality. His Highness is a member of the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates, which governs the affairs of the Federation. During his rule, Sharjah has experienced rapid growth in various fields; the most important development being in the field of human resources. The city's phenomenal transformation into a modern and advanced society is the fruit of the strenuous and consistent efforts of its Ruler to develop this emirate in a scientific and a comprehensive way.
The city - the 3rd largest of the Emirates, encompasses some of the finest scenery of the country. Its geographical layout - with both an East and a West Coast, makes it easily accessible for trade and commerce. Furthermore, Sharjah's geographical location between East and West makes it a vital transit point for many International flights. |
