Welcome to Sharjah, a modern waterfront city preserving the soul of the ancient Emirati sailors. Dubai’s shy neighbor has many things to offer to both visitors and residents. The third largest emirate covering an area of 2,600 square kilometers, the emirate of Sharjah straddles the peninsula, overlooking the Arabian Gulf, to the west, and the Gulf of Oman, to the east. This gives it the unique advantage of being geographically diverse, attracting not only local but also international interests.
