About the area
About Al Khan.
Al Khan is a coastal district in southwest Sharjah city, on Al Khan Lagoon, the inlet that marks the boundary with Dubai. Al Mamzar lies across the water, Maryam Island sits on its coastal edge, and Al Majaz and Al Taawun are its inland neighbours.
Housing is mostly mid- and high-rise apartment towers along the lagoon and Al Khan Street, many with water views, with older blocks alongside newer ones.
Al Khan Street runs through the district and links to Al Ittihad Road, the main route into Dubai, and to Al Wahda Street. Buses on Al Khan Street and Al Taawun Street serve central Sharjah and Dubai.
The Sharjah Aquarium stands near the old Al Khan settlement, a pearling village whose coral-stone houses are being restored as a heritage area. Al Khan is part of Sharjah city proper.

FAQ
Al Khan, answered.
Short answers to the questions off-plan buyers raise most often.
Send us your questionWhere is Al Khan and how well connected is it?
Al Khan lies on Sharjah's south-western shore, where the emirate meets Dubai. Most traffic moves along Al Khan Street, which feeds into Al Ittihad Road towards Dubai and Al Wahda Street towards central Sharjah. Public buses run on the main streets, but there is no metro, so most residents get around by car or taxi.
What is everyday life like in Al Khan?
Life here centres on the waterfront, with the Maryam Island beach and promenade on the coast and the heritage quarter beside the aquarium. Most homes are apartments in mid and high-rise towers, with grocery stores, cafés and pharmacies at street level. Larger shopping lies inland towards Al Majaz and Al Taawun.
Are there schools and everyday amenities near Al Khan?
Families in Al Khan generally look at private schools in neighbouring districts such as Al Majaz and Al Taawun, and Sharjah offers British, American and Indian curricula among others. Inspection ratings are published by the emirate's private education authority. Clinics, supermarkets and other daily services are found within the district and in the surrounding blocks.
Who is Al Khan best suited to?
Al Khan suits people who work in Dubai but prefer a Sharjah address right by the border, and buyers who want an apartment on the water. Investors interested in new waterfront stock on Maryam Island may also find it a good fit. Families who want villas and private gardens will find fewer options, as the district is mostly towers.
What kind of off-plan stock is available in Al Khan?
Off-plan supply in Al Khan centres on new waterfront apartment buildings on Maryam Island by Eagle Hills. Most towers further inland are completed, so new supply is concentrated on the island. Off-plan homes across the emirate are on the Sharjah off-plan page.
Can foreign buyers own property in Al Khan?
It depends on the building. Since Sharjah changed its property law in 2022, ownership is generally reserved for UAE and GCC nationals, but every nationality can hold freehold title in development areas and projects approved by the Executive Council. Eagle Hills sells its Maryam Island buildings freehold to all nationalities. Elsewhere in Al Khan, eligibility rests on whether the tower sits within an approved project.
