Latest Sharjah hotel reviews
Although it only has a pedestrian walkway for part of the way, it is quite interesting to walk along the corniche. You will pass a beautifully tiled (possibly Iranian) mosque, the heritage area, the fort, the arts area, the Museum of Islamic Culture - a lovely building and supposedly very interesting, but we did not have time to visit. We walked all the way to the lovely mosque near the Radisson Hotel. Many people were fishing and there were several boats. Quite pleasant if it is not too hot.

Sharjah Fort is located between the Sharjah Heritage Area and the Sharjah Arts Area. It is an interesting building from the ouside but it had a sign on the door saying it has been closed for restoration since March 2010, so we could not go inside.

In winter it is possible to walk to the Heritage Area from Al Jubail bus station, but I would take a taxi in summer. The Heritage area was a bit of a disappointment as so much of it was still under construction or restoration. Things available to see were two touristic style souqs, calligraphy exhibitions and the Bait Al Naboodah Heritage House admission 5AED. The heritage house and the souqs were quite interesting and worth a look if you happen to be in Sharjah. Thebest thing about the Bait Al Naboodah was getting to try some cardomum flavoured coffee - very tasty.

This was on the walk from the bus station into the old part of town. There were two parts - an outdoor livestock market with cows, goats and sheep and an indoor market with birds including falcons, dogs, cats, small rodents.

Our bus passed this on our way to Sharjah. It was not far back from the bus station so we walked back to have a look. The building is lovely with beautiful tiles, You can buy all sorts of things inside jewellery, cloth, clothes etc.

The fish souq is also right next to the bus station. Follow the smell of fish. There were some interesting specimens on sale here. Had I had access to a cooker I would not have minded cooking some. Good for photos.

Sharjah fruit and vegetable market was right next to the bus station. I think our bus went to Al Jubail Bus station. The fruit and Vegetable souq is housed in a lovely building that runs parallel to the bus station. It is quite colourful and good for photos.

Again this museum opens only when there are exhibits. However it has a descent size local art library; so it is open daily for that purpose in morning. No body asked me for a ticket but the general ticket for Sharjah Museum should cover this one also.
The museum has also a coffee shop and a gift shop

Qanat Al Qasba or Al Qasba is a place for all ages. It is for family, friends and lovers for a night of relaxation. A giant ferris wheel is a must-try ride for everybody. It offers an aerial view of the emirate's corniche, lagoons and landscape as well as the horizons of the neighbouring Dubai . Kidszone offers a wide range of edutainment activities specially created for children of various age groups. A ride in a traditional boat offers a panoramic view of the walkways, bridges and some of the cultural attractions and modern skyscrapers of the emirate of Sharjah. Another attraction is the Al Qasba Musical Fountain for daytime and night person to see. A tourist destination will never be complete without restaurants and cafes. There are lots to choose from in Al Qasba.
