Jernas Media Production
I needed to open a branch in Sharjah for my company, and so we headed to Sharjah Media City. They welcomed us with open arms. All the arrangements and preparations were available and taken care of in no time, from issuing a license to providing a place for the company. Shams Free Zone is not only a Media City or Free Zone, it is an artistic cultural institution.
