An extraordinary development on the Palm Jumeirah

There have been some news releases and many IFA Times readers will have received an email broadcast to increase appetites. But our newest project was officially named and introduced at Cityscape during December 2006.

IFA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR) is very proud to announce the Kingdom of Sheba, our most spectacular Dubai development yet and one of the largest and most ambitious projects on The Palm Jumeirah.

Reminiscent of Arabia’s ancient cities,the Kingdom of Sheba embraces 141,500 square metres of prime land on The Crescent, adjacent to Atlantis. Consisting of five separate but adjoining elements, the entire project has a sense of history and grandeur, with the construction reflecting the traditional values and symmetry that are inherent to all Arab art forms.

A collection of villas, townhouses, penthouses and apartments make up the three hundred superb Balqis Residence (freehold residences) which are set to provide a wealth of lifestyle and investment choices to discerning buyers.

Fairmont Kingdom of Sheba is certain to prove a glittering addition to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ diverse portfolio of historic icons, elegant resorts and modern city centre properties in key destinations. This will be a truly outstanding hotel.

Fairmont Vacation Club, Kingdom of Sheba is the first purpose-built resort of its kind in Dubai, offering the pinnacle of luxury vacation accommodation together with a wide selection of equally sensational places to visit abroad. And an exclusive private residence club - Fairmont Heritage Place, Kingdom of Sheba - will ensure its members have magnificent homes to enjoy for several weeks a year through an innovative concept, fractional ownership, which combines the privacy of splendid vacation homes with the services and amenities of five-star resorts.

The Kingdom of Sheba will also feature an exclusive Souq (Retail Plaza), giving visitors and residents access to myriad boutiques and restaurants. In addition, a continuous walkway will not only link the hotel, residential and retail elements, but also all the other projects on the Crescent.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is to manage all the components. We are safely assured of incomparable hospitality, exceptional facilities and impeccable service for both owners and guests.
