    Sharjah is very different from Dubai - so when you're fed-up with trawling around monstrious shopping malls and sipping fancy coffees in 5-star hotel lobbies, it's time to head North to the emirate of Sharjah.

    For a comprehensive map, use this link: http://www.sharjah-welcome.com/sharjah_map.pdf

    Some of Sharjah's most well-known sights are:

    > Sharjah Blue Souk (central market).
    > Discovery Centre (near airport).
    > Natural History Museum.
    > Sharjah Art Museum.
    > Arabian Wildlife Centre.
    > Sharjah University City.
    > Sharjah Grand Mosque.
    > Al Hisn Fort.
    > Al Qasba & the "Eye of the Emirates" (ferris wheel)

    Visit the website of the Sharjah Tourism Board for more details:

    UPDATE July 2007: The Tourism Board has recently launched a toll-free number, for both visitors & residents alike to call and obtain everything and anything you need to know about Sharjah: sights, events, customs, accomodation, etc.
    CALL 800-SHARJAH (800-7427524)

    The desert

  • I would definitely recommend the desert safari.

    When I first knew I was going to UAE, I immediately thought about sand, men dressed in flowing white clothes and women in black. Nothing prepared me for the lush green lawns, the sprawling richness - be it in buildings, roads, malls etc.

    Sharjah has a rich legacy of arts, heritage and culture and promotes itself as "the UAE"s cultural capital". The emirate has preserved its natural and cultural heritage across the Emirate in the form of historic buildings, museums and nature reserves.

    The Sharjah Museums Department was established in 2006 as an independent government department affiliated to the Ruler's Office. This department oversees and links the current and future museums of Sharjah. The Sharjah Museums cover the arts, Islamic culture and history, heritage and history of the emirate and the region, archaeology, science, children's learning, natural history and the environment.

    I find their website very useful, as it links to all the different museums, centres and art galleries in the emirate.

    Sharjah is a stone-throw from Dubai and yet it is so completely different. It is as opulent as Dubai but far less flashy... and it is very moral: no alcohol allowed, no shisha cafes and no swimsuit on its beaches.

    Sharjah is in a different emirate (the Sharjah emirate) but it mainly exists to house workers in Dubai at cheaper prices... take a taxi there at the wrong time and you'll be stuck in a massive traffic jam. A 20 minutes drive from heaven turns into a 1 hour+ drive from hell.

    We did not spend too long in Sharjah - but the impression is one of charm. It's definitely worth to go back, at a different time. Early afternoon is when the famous souqs close down for lunch and siesta... while it is great to enjoy them uncrowded... for shopping, it sucks... Big time.
