Abdul Alshamiry Chairman

In response to the extraordinary success of Dubai’s real estate projects, practically every Gulf state has made developing similar projects a national priority. The real estate development company Ferdaws is pursuing the development of a historic site in Yemen.

Overseeing the massive new project, called “Ferdaws Aden City”, is Chairman Abdul Alshamiry. He is working closely with Yemeni officials and strategic partners from Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia to expedite the development process.

Seen from above, the collection of circular streets and waterways resemble the outlines of bursting fireworks. The new multi-use development covers nearly 4,000 acres of beachfront property near the southern port city of Aden. Once an important city in trade up the Red Sea, officials hope the Ferdaws project will re-establish Aden as an important cultural and business hub.

Ferdaws development project will entail the construction of 1,000 housing units and 200 unique mansions.

Once complete, the Ferdaws development will add a wealth of resources for Yemenis, including 15,000 new jobs. The current location of the project is 23 kilometers from the nearest airport, but officials say they are going to build another airport to support the increase in passenger traffic.

Also in the works are a new hospital and various health centers. The site promises to improve education in the region, boasting 30 new schools, a new university and a science and technology center.

Tourists can look forward to twelve hotels, world-class restaurants and cafes, a major sporting complex and a new marina. Future residents can choose from over 1,000 housing units or 200 unique mansions.
