QIDFA
DEVELOPMENT

SIEC have had the amazing opportunity to work with Emirates Council for Rural Development and Etihad Rail to bring to life the vision to develop rural villages within the UAE.

​

The ‘Emirates Villages’ project represents a new milestone in achieving the vision of the UAE leadership by introducing a sustainable development model that accommodates all regions across the country, while utilising the human capabilities and natural resources of each region.


Starting with the community of QIDFA in the Emirate of Fujairah the design aims to draw new tourism and promote job growth and revenue in the area through a new road network, neighbourhood square, cycleways, beachfront and developing the farming community’s access roads and irrigation networks to future proof their operations.
