About Al Thuriah

Meet

FOUNDERS OF AL THURIAH

Established in April 1996, Al Thuriah started as a dream project between two friends: Sheikh Majid Bin Hamad Al Qassimi and Engineer Raymond Khouzami. Over the years, we evolved from being a small contracting firm to a growing integrated real estate family in Sharjah, developing and building the finest, high-quality residential and commercial spaces ranging from villas to high-rise towers.

To date, Al Thuriah is one of the top-ranking real estate companies in Sharjah – a position boosted by the fact that it is offering a full spectrum of real estate services thru its five divisions: Properties, Construction, Interiors, Leasing and Facilities Management.

Our Journey

1996

Al Thuriah Construction started as a small contracting company that built the school fence of Lycee Libanais Francophone Prive in Dubai, its first ever project in 1996. Back then, the company was mainly engaged in the construction and development of small plots and low-storey buildings across the neighbouring emirates of Dubai and Sharjah. Thenceforth, the journey from humble beginnings went on to cross many milestones.

2004

In 2004, Al Thuriah Properties was established and eventually flourished as the premier property developer in the land. Our portfolio includes excellent quality developments for residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Our initial offering was Sahara Tower 1, the first residential tower of our 6-building compound, Sahara Complex, the iconic gateway to Sharjah located in Al Nahda. Additionally, we have developed a stunning collection of 3 high-rise Future Towers built in Al Khan.

2009

With Al Thuriah’s name being recognized, in 2009, Al Thuriah introduced the Facilities Management division committed to maintenance works with first class workmanship, technical excellence, and thereby, guarantee total client satisfaction across Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and other emirates.

2014

Over the years, Al Thuriah has been synonymous with competence and world-class service. True enough, the birth of Al Thuriah Leasing division in 2014 brought a hands-on approach ensuring the property owners in maximizing the value of their assets and that the tenants are receiving the high quality services.
