With an exclusive pedestrian bridge offering direct access to the upcoming City Centre Al Zahia, Uptown Al Zahia also places a premium shopping, dining, and entertainment destination on residents’ doorsteps.
Woroud 3 offers buyers a choice of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, each complemented by first-rate facilities that include gyms, swimming pools, and barbecue areas.

Shadi Al Azzeh, Al Zahia Project Head at Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said: “With the launch of its second phase, Uptown Al Zahia continues to deliver on its promises of growth and long-term value for customers. This new phase introduces more high-quality residences to the emirate’s epicentre of growth, meeting strong demand. By shaping today’s real estate market and creating an aspirational place to call home, Al Zahia reinforces its leading position as Sharjah’s most desired lifestyle destination.
Walid Al Hashimi, Sharjah Holding’s Chief Executive Officer, added: “The high demand for Uptown Al Zahia is extremely satisfying as it reaffirms the fact that Sharjah’s property market remains strong. As we move closer to Al Zahia’s completion, we are contributing to Sharjah’s evolution as it grows and modernises with our changing times, while still remaining true to the emirate’s core values. The Uptown Al Zahia development alone is expected to contribute AED 790 million to the local economy, bringing further strength and prosperity to Sharjah.”
