Sharjah, Sharjah, Sharjah. <\/em><\/p>\n

Although most of us Dubai-ans try to avoid the Sharjah traffic whenever possible, we can’t deny the feeling of home once we do step foot in this Emirate.<\/p>\n

It’s a city that thrives off of the Emirati lifestyle and its art culture? That’s a whole other topic.<\/p>\n

If you ever wonder what there is to do in Sharjah, look no more- these activities might pique your interest in Dubai’s eastern neighbour.<\/p>\n

1. Try your hand at paint ball<\/h3>\n

Head to the Sharjah Paintball Park and release some of that week-long restrainer energy.<\/p>\n

It’s open from Saturdays to Thursdays between 9am-11pm and Fridays from 9-11.30am.<\/p>\n

More info here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Revel in non-stop rain at the rainfall room<\/h3>\n

Summer coming soon?<\/p>\n

No prob because at the Sharjah Art Foundation’s rain room, the raining never ends.<\/p>\n

4. Go overnight camping at the Mleiha<\/em> region (it dates all the way back to the dinosaur age!)<\/h3>\n

Take a tour at the archaeological site and learn about the fossils that date WAY way back, have some karak, BBQ and sleep under the stars in the middle of the desert.<\/p>\n

Experience the beauty of the moon, sand and history- right at your fingertips.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Explore, unwind and be amazed at Al Noor Island<\/h3>\n

In the heart of the city is an Insta-worthy escape into an oases of sorts. Al Noor Island houses an array of activities good for a solo visitor and families. <\/p>\n

Check out enchanted island escapes turned into forests that look like something out of a Disney movie, take photos of butterflies, go into the pavilion and SO much more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
