Inspired from the Arabic word Majadan, which means ‘gloriously’ in Arabic, Majada is built on the concept of Chakras. The masterplan is a reflection of the chakras expressed in what Ehab calls “ nodes” – central points of activity that promote different aspects of health, healing and creativity and are all interconnected with winding parks and greenway connectors linking the different activities such as Art cafes, beach club ,boutique hotel, restaurants and other amenities through designated walking and hiking trails and open green space for all ages all within the master plan. A very unique approach to design Ehab Mokhtar, managing director IDIA explains that research on potential customer requirements has shown that the customer of today is “looking for a place to relax “.
This is a significant departure from the traditional concept and impacts “all elements of design “according to Ehab “beginning with the development of breathable homes “–a design concept that creates houses with air, light and natural elements that promote healthy living. “to zero scape landscape solutions that are cost effective and sustainable”. Energy-efficient and environment-friendly, Majada reflects the meticulous planning and creative vision that are hallmarks of any Iwan development but more importantly it stands out as the most holistic approach to wellness witnessed so far.
