Sharjah City Tours with Arabian Adventures
Rich local culture
Sharjah is a charming city with a captivating local culture that showcases the essence of the UAE. The Pearl Monument stands as a striking historical landmark in Al Ittihad Square Park, with its seven intricately designed ‘shells’ and domed tower symbolising the union of the Emirates. The Sharjah Grand Mosque is another majestic structure that’s an integral part of local life, as is the smaller – yet no less impressive - King Faisal Mosque.
Enthralling museums
Like Dubai, Sharjah’s modern developments are interwoven with a storied history and Islamic traditions. The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization provides an enthralling insight into Islamic culture, featuring over 5,000 artefacts from the Islamic world, from Umm Al Nar pottery to ancient coins and rings. Elsewhere, the Rain Room is an extraordinary art installation where visitors can walk through a downpour of simulated rain without getting wet.
Bustling souqs
Energetic marketplaces are synonymous with Sharjah – and have been for centuries. Souk Al Arsah, a bustling hub of trade since the 19th century, remains an enchanting array of stalls packed into now air-conditioned alleyways. Souq Al Jubail takes the crown of Sharjah’s largest market, with dedicated sections for fruits and vegetables, fish and meat and poultry. Spread across two floors, the souq is filled with delightful aromas while shouts from its spirited vendors create a distinctive atmosphere.
