» Sharjah

The Emirate of Sharjah is only 20 minutes from down town Dubai and has established itself as the cultural centre of the Middle East. Our tour starts at the monumental Culture roundabout before heading off to the Natural History Museum in the desert. Returning to the city, we head for the Corniche, with the golden Al Majara Souk and into the heart of the heritage district, where the Al Naboodah House and the Al Arsa souk provide a glimpse of how life used to be lived. The tour ends at the fabulous Central souk, with its typical Arab architecture and if you’re looking for souvenirs, then the vast selection of carpets, antiques and curios will surely satisfy the most determined shopper.
