This year’s initiative marks a significant milestone with broad participation from hotel establishments, major shopping malls, retail outlets, and tourism and entertainment destinations across the emirate. The summer season will run for a record 114 consecutive days for the first time. Hospitality offers commenced early on May 25, featuring competitive accommodation and hospitality discounts, followed by extensive retail promotions that are currently driving consumer activity.

The promotions include discounts of up to 75% on various products, such as fashion, fragrances, accessories, consumer electronics, and home furnishings. Special offers from restaurants, cafes, and hotels are also available at competitive rates.

To further bolster the retail sector, participating businesses benefit from streamlined promotional permits, valid for three consecutive months. This initiative allows retailers to expand marketing campaigns, stimulate consumer spending, and enhance economic activity across the emirate.

Enhancing Visitor Experience with Technology

H.E. Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of the SCTDA, stated that the 2026 Sharjah Summer Promotions is part of efforts to deliver an integrated summer tourism season. This initiative showcases the emirate’s diverse leisure and tourism assets while enhancing its competitiveness as a family-friendly destination for international visitors.

The program has been meticulously curated to leverage Sharjah’s unique blend of urban, coastal, and desert attractions. It includes a comprehensive portfolio of events and promotional offers designed to appeal to a wide range of age groups and visitor interests. Al Midfa emphasized that the SCTDA continues to enhance the visitor experience by integrating digital solutions and smart technologies, including a mobile application featuring augmented reality (AR) and electronic prize draws.

The extension of the Sharjah Summer Promotions through mid-September, following the early launch of hospitality promotions, reflects the SCTDA’s strategic vision of sustaining tourism and economic activity throughout the summer.

They also provide small and medium-sized enterprises with greater opportunities to expand their customer base during the peak summer trading period. He added that the Sharjah Summer Promotions contribute to increased tourism spending and enhance the competitiveness of Sharjah’s trade and retail sectors, reinforcing SCCI’s commitment to empowering the business community.
