    the blue souq

    The blue souq is the largest souq in Sharjah - and it's especially magnificent for its architecture and islamic design. There are two main wings with about 600 shops - and the wings are connected with overhead covered tunnels. In one you can buy gifts and electronics, in the other gold, gems and jewels. Upstairs prices are cheaper than downstairs prices, because the rent for these shops is lower.

    Remember: the souq is open every day from 9 am to 1 pm AND from 4 pm to 11 pm. Between 1 pm and 4 pm only carpet shops are open.

    Sharjah has a very interesting restored heritage area, with many narrow streets, and some museums like the Sharjah Heritage Museum or the Islamic Museum.

    This is not just a place where to shop, it's also a nice big building where to spend a few hours even just going around and watch.
    In the afternoon it shops are supposed to open at 4 but you can go even before like we had to do and you will find many of them opened anyway.
    It is also definitly a cheaper place than Dubai so the taxi rate is worth if you intend to shop.

    Walk along the Corniche

  • During the cooler months (it's now November and perfect weather in the evenings) walk along the Corniche. You'll find locals and tourists doing the same and for views it's spectacular. At night the buildings are lit up, and there's a fountain with different coloured lights. There are quite a few coffee places along the walkway and places to sit down, including grass areas where local families eat together. You'll also see joggers at night.

    Sharjah is very proud of the old heritage and Islamic architect... You'll find out that the main buildings beautifully designed to show off the Islamic style..
    This is a small art and heritage museum in the middle of the "Old Souq"..

    We went to the Ajman Kempinski Hotel to swim. We used the pool which was brilliant and then went down to the sea and walked on the sand and paddled. Unfortunately I managed to get sunburnt although it was cloudy at times. The combination of the pale sand and the bright water was too strong for me. So, remember to slather yourself in sunscreen.
    I went with someone who had membership to the gym, and paid a fee to go into the pool.
