UAE’s Sharjah Directorate of Public Works (SDPW) has completed two public service projects, including a park and a mosque in Al Riq Residential Area within the northern emirate.
The public park is spread over a 25,000 sq m area with playgrounds, green areas, walking path and other facilities to serve the families of Al Riq residential Area.
The mosque has a 13-m-high minaret and includes ablution area for both men and women apart from facilities for people with disabilities and the elderly, as well as car parks, said the SDPW in its statement.
