Sheikh Humaid said that the Masfout Gate project represents a qualitative milestone in
Ajman’s comprehensive development journey and embodies the UAE’s vision of achieving
balanced development that benefits all regions of the country.
He noted that the project is not merely an architectural landmark but a gateway linking the
authenticity of the past with the aspirations of the future, reflecting a firm commitment to
enhancing quality of life and creating an ideal environment that combines modern living
standards with the preservation of authentic heritage.
The project is built over an area of approximately 500 square metres and rises to a height of
16 metres. It features a 40-metre architectural walkway, forming an integrated urban edifice.
The Ruler of Ajman praised the efforts of the Emirates Council for Balanced Development,
chaired by Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential
Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’ Affairs, in implementing projects that contribute to
the development of UAE villages and regions and enhance their status as global tourism and
cultural destinations.
He added that Masfout Gate will significantly enhance the region’s position as a tourism and
investment destination while preserving its natural character, serving present and future
generations, and strengthening the competitiveness of the UAE in general and Ajman in
particular as a place to live and visit.
Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed stressed that the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed bin
Zayed Al Nahyan represent the foundation for achieving balanced development nationwide,
ensuring that the benefits of progress reach all villages and regions, enhancing quality of life
and social and economic stability within a comprehensive national vision that places people at
the heart of development and prioritises sustainability for future generations.
Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed explained that the Masfout Gate project embodies this approach
through an integrated development model that combines urban development with the
promotion of the regions' cultural and natural identity, supporting tourism and economic activity
while opening new horizons for the local community.
The project reinforces Masfout’s position as a distinguished mountain destination and
strengthens the role of UAE villages as key drivers of national development.
