Rajasthan Hospital situated in this area is one of the main hospitals of Ahmedabad. The Farki outlet of Shahibaug is famous for its Lassi. The Civil hospital of Ahmedabad City is also located near Shahibaug.

Shahibaug also served as home to many famous people, including Ravindranath Tagore, Sardar Patel, Behchar Lashkari and Bhagavatprasad Ranchoddas Family.

Shahibaug was considered to be the repository of riches in Ahmedabad, and this is obvious from the fact that virtually all of the mill owners used to live here. As the city grew bigger, the 'aristocracy' of Ahmedabad moved out of Shahibag and chose to relocate to other plush areas of the city.

It is connected to Vadaj area by Subhas bridge over River Sabarmati. In 2010, a new flyover was built which now connects the 'tran khunia bagicha' directly to the Ahmedabad cantonment area.

Shahibag also includes the Gujarat circuit house which hosts most of the government guests to the city.
