Sharjah is more than a busy commercial hub…<\/h2>\n
We’re here to unveil 6000+ years of heritage and culture, and show you that the heart of the UAE is more than a commercial hub but also the ideal haven for leisure time surrounded by beautiful landscapes, rich culture and amazing architecture in one perfect mix.<\/p>\n
Sharjah is more than what the guidebooks will tell you. It’s late nights filled with laughter at Jadaf Waterfront, sips of spiced tea at Karak road and shopping sprees at Zero 6 mall…<\/p>\n
Attractions galore<\/h2>\n
Sharjah’s filled with students who know what’s up (free movie nights in Al Jadaf anyone?!) And families love it, because it’s a safe haven! Not to mention, The corniche area and public parks are some of the best in the country (not biased!)<\/p>\n
Wherever you go, there’s cafeterias with delish snacks on every corner. University City Road is the go-to for cheap eats and your fave big-name restaurants are also making their way there.<\/p>\n
Finally, it’s so connected, we’re right next to Dubai, but stunning RAK is just down the road too!<\/p>\n
There’s nothing not to love! From the mesmerizing Noor Island to the beautiful light festival, Sharjah’s a sight for sore eyes.<\/p>\n
Okay, it’s not Skiathos..<\/h2>\n
