As Etihad railways are being implemented, the project is the end station of the railway tracks at Sharjah. The site is located in a hub among the airport and the highways. The site had rows of trees along with the prominant axis of the highway. This is utilised in the concept of the project.

The roadways are simplified as much as possible for the airport pathways. The concept is evolved to be an open plan with arid regions and content solids.
