So this is basically what I extracted from just Looking at the picture of Shurimas Capital, and also some information given to us in both Azirs, Reksais, Xeraths lores.

The Capital
An oasis in the desert, it fell to ruins after  Xerath's  flawedAscension. It has risen once again with the resurrection of Shurima's long lost emperor,  Azir. In its prime, it was the center of Shuriman society. Because of its immense importance as the center of trade and culture of the empire, many cultural, educational centers and markets bringing goods from all over the Empire sprung up. It also housed special burial grounds for the most influential of its citizens, such as The Tomb of the Emperors. The city is divided by ringed districts and city levels. The cities most wealthiest citizens lived in the top rings of the city, while middle and lower classes (with slaves) lived mostly in settlements built on the rocky cliff sides of the outer and lower rings. Cities Imperial Palace, Grand Temple and Oasis of the Dawn are located at the center of the city. The most important road in the city was The Emperor’s Way. The city was built around the ancient Sun Disc that floats above The Circle of Ascension and the city itself. The city also had the most advance irrigation system of its time, seemingly unsurpassed until modern times. Floating gardens decorated with palms and other flora protected its many terraces from the burning sun.

I mean, this is just me extracting from various sources, but I wouldnt say we were loreless.
