His Highness also delved into the comprehensive road network plans aimed at enhancing accessibility to the new projects. These plans include the construction of two roads spanning a total length of 10 kilometers, along with the development of two bridges. One of the roads will seamlessly connect the Wadi Al Helo Tunnel to the new Sharjah-Kalba Road, while the other will provide access to the mountain peak and its associated development ventures. Designed with three lanes and adhering to stringent safety standards, these roads will facilitate smooth transit for buses and heavy vehicles.

Furthermore, His Highness was briefed on the ambitious design of an international stadium project built to FIFA standards. Set atop Mount Daym at an elevation of 650 meters, this stadium will feature terraced seating offering panoramic views of Kalba city. Alongside VIP platforms, media rooms, commercial services, and healthcare facilities, the stadium will serve as a cornerstone for the Kalba Sports and Cultural Club.

Additionally, His Highness explored plans for a tourist sports hotel adjacent to the "Above the Clouds" retreat. Boasting 100 luxurious rooms overlooking Kalba's captivating coastline, this hotel will be seamlessly connected to the retreat via a dedicated pedestrian path, enhancing the overall guest experience.
