A new canal project has been initiated in Sharjah that will link the open sea to the creek and onward to Khalid Lake. The Al Layyah Canal, which spans 850 meters in length, aims to improve water quality and increase the flow of water in Khalid and Khan Lakes from the Arabian Gulf. The project is being overseen by Sheikh Dr Sultan Al Qasimi, the Ruler of Sharjah, who recently inspected the progress of the canal. The construction includes two main bridges, a water canal, a breakwater, and a promenade, with tests confirming success during the completion of the breakwater that will protect the canal in extreme weather conditions.

The canal will not only serve practical purposes but will also feature a range of amenities and services catering to social, economic, and recreational needs. The next phase of the project will involve constructing a new waterfront with an Islamic architectural character that matches the style of government entities and the Jubail Market building opposite the canal. This will enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area and provide a visually pleasing environment for residents and visitors alike. The project is expected to bring significant benefits to the community and contribute to the overall development of the region.
