The Heart of Sharjah and its museums
The restored heritage district, the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization on the waterfront and the Sharjah Arts Museum. Easily a half day on its own.
The UAE’s cultural capital, seen from your own car, with a chauffeur waiting outside each museum and souk.
Sharjah is the quieter neighbour, and many visitors are glad they made time for it. Restored merchant houses, some of the best museums in the region, a lagoon island of art and gardens. A private Sharjah city tour lets you see them without parking stress or taxi hunting. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel in Sharjah or Dubai and waits at each stop while you take your time.
