With the opening of “Above the Clouds,” a breathtaking mountaintop hideaway slated to open in 2026, Sharjah is poised to revolutionise luxury ecotourism. The new resort, which is perched atop Mount Deem, promises a surreal retreat for tourists by combining nature, culture, and stunning panoramic views that reach above the cloudline.
The Mount Deem retreat offers guided nature walks, immersive cultural experiences, and sustainable architecture in an effort to appeal to adventurers and eco-conscious tourists. Surrounded by the tranquil splendour of the Hajar Mountains, visitors may anticipate hiking routes, decks for stargazing, and art works influenced by the local culture.
The retreat intends to serve as a pillar of Sharjah’s long-term strategy to support environmentally conscious travel and cultural conservation. According to Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), the project will include local artisan markets, organic cafes, and accommodations that minimize environmental impact while maximizing comfort and experience.
As anticipation builds, ‘Above the Clouds’ is being hailed as a future landmark for the UAE’s alternative tourism scene, offering an elevated way — both literally and figuratively — to connect with the region’s natural and cultural landscapes.
