Cons of Living in Al Khezamia
On the other hand, living in Al Khezamia does come with a few drawbacks. Find below the challenges to keep in mind before you move.
Limited Public Transport Options
For starters, public transport is limited in this part of Sharjah, and the emirate has no metro. Taxis can be booked through the SRTA app, but for school runs and daily errands, a car makes daily life much easier.
Limited Choice of Homes
This is a small market made up of villas and residential plots. If you are after an apartment or a smaller budget, you will need to look beyond the neighbourhood.
Peak-Hour Commutes to Dubai
Lastly, if you work in Dubai, expect heavy traffic on the main roads between the two emirates during morning and evening rush hours. Leave extra time, or plan your day around the busiest periods.
