wasl properties, a subsidiary of wasl Asset Management Group, welcomed the holy month of Ramadan with the inauguration of ‘wasl Oasis Mosque’ at its wasl Oasis II project in Muhaisnah, which is located on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in close proximity to Sharjah.
The real estate development and management company opened the doors of the mosque which was funded by wasl employees’ donations, to residents of wasl Oasis II and neighbouring areas.

On this occasion, I would like to thank all colleagues that contributed to the completion of this charitable initiative”
