The new Souq Al Haraj in Sharjah, a premier destination for pre-owned car shoppers in the region, is set to open on January 14.

 

Located in Al Ruqa Al Hamra, the souq aims to support the used car industry and boost economic activity in the emirate, said a statement.

 

The used car marketplace is in close proximity to the borders of Sharjah and Ajman, providing easy access to clients from all emirates, it said.

 

The market consists of showrooms and shops for selling auto spare parts and accessories in addition to car exhibition areas and auction spaces.

 

Sharjah Asset Management, the investment arm of the Sharjah Government, is the responsible body for the market’s management. 

 

Abdullah Al Haddidi, manager of Souq Al Haraj, said: “Souq Al Haraj was designed in accordance with the best international standards and offers integrated services such as cleaning and security services, as well as vehicle technical inspection, registration, and the issuance of all required documents including vehicle export certificates, vehicle ownership certificates, and transfer of ownership certificates under one roof.”

 

The used car trading industry in Sharjah dates back to the early 1980s and was based in two hubs: Abu Shagara and Bu Daniq, said the statement.

 

The aim of the market, which gained immense popularity in Sharjah and the entire country, was to help residents and locals who are not able to buy new cars find vehicles that suit them, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
