Sharjah Travel Guide

 IreneMcKay Says:  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... 

 IreneMcKay Says:  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... 

 IreneMcKay Says:  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. 

 IreneMcKay Says:  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. 

 IreneMcKay Says:  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. 

 IreneMcKay Says:  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.

 Kuznetsov_Sergey Says:  Blue Souq (Souq Al Markazi or Central Souq) is the largest and one of the important Souqs in Sharjah and called as Blue because of its uncommon blue vaulted roof. Located in the Khaled Lagoon region, Blue Souq has 2 sections and about 600 shops. It’s a landmark of Sharjah,... 

 Kuznetsov_Sergey Says:  Sharjah is known as a "dry emirate" which means the sale or possession of alcohol within Sharjah is almost entirely forbidden. Also, it is legal to transport alcohol through Sharjah if your final destination permits it (eg. Dubai to Fujairah). Don't expect all police to be... 

 Kuznetsov_Sergey Says:  Al Khan is an area around the Grand Hotel of Sharjah. I could walk around it and find an old suburb which was almost a town in the beginning of the 20th century. Its residents were mainly members of the Al swdan and Al abu muhair tribes, who form part of the Bany yas tribe....
