Sharjah

Sharjah is the Arab World's UNESCO cultural capital, with vibrant souks and inspiring art galleries, as well as enlightening mosques and historic monuments. The Sharjah government, Sharjah Art Foundation, and Sharjah Museums Authority have all worked tirelessly to preserve and share Emirati history and heritage. Today, Sharjah has over 20 museums and galleries that showcase modern art, priceless paintings, and Arabian artefacts that provide a comprehensive history of the UAE. The city also has different nature and adventure activities, such as trekking and camping in nature reserves, water sports at nearly every Sharjah beach, and desert motorsports. As a result, the city has gained international recognition, with visitors from all over the world.

People from neighboring emirates, in particular, travel here at night to explore the many places to visit in Sharjah. The iconic Sharjah Corniche, for example, provides a stunning nighttime view of the Arabian Gulf. Despite significant growth and change over the years, Sharjah was designated a "Healthy City" by the World Health Organization in 2015 for its efforts to promote health protection and sustainable development. Sharjah is also a popular residential destination for UAE residents, with a plethora of family-friendly activities. This city's development is centred on family and children, from casual dining, cafes, and leisure options to cultural programmes and events. As a result, parents in this city are always spoiled for choice when it comes to activities for their children.

The Sharjah Airport, which serves as the hub for the airline Air Arabia, is conveniently located near the city for easy travel. The city is a popular tourist destination, with over 106 hotels and hotel apartments. The weather in Sharjah is warm and sunny all year, with the best time to visit in the second half of the year.
