According to SCTDA statistics, guests at these special beach hotel facilities had swelled to more than 180,000 during the first half of this year registering 80% occupancy rates.”
Al Midfa further added that numerous cultural, artistic, entertainment and shopping festivals hosted by Sharjah, since the beginning of the year, have added to the emirate’s attractions.
