The Heart of Sharjah is a cultural heritage project that aims to preserve and restore the old town of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and return it to its 1950s state.
A five-phase project intended for completion in 2025, the project is being undertaken by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), together with the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, the Sharjah Museums Department, and the Sharjah Art Foundation.[1] It has been proposed as a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site status.[2]
