Plan your journey from Sheikh Zayed Road
From Sheikh Zayed Road, it’s just a 40-minute drive to Sharjah. The pedestrianised Heritage Area, made up of two linked neighbourhoods – Al Sheyoukh and Al Maraija – is the perfect place to start your tour.
Culture lovers should head to the Sharjah Heritage Museum, featuring five separate galleries – each focusing on a different element of local life. The Sharjah Art Museum and the city’s Science Museum are also both worth visiting. While you’re in town, be sure to spend time at the colourful, chaotic Souk Al Arsah. Once camels would have been tied outside, waiting to carry supplies for their owners. Today the atmosphere is more modern, although it still retains much of its old character.
To escape the sun, head to the Sharjah Aquarium – home to a number of sea creatures including moray eels, reef sharks and jellyfish.
For family fun, visit Al Majaz Waterfront – featuring a mini-golf course, a choreographed fountain with lights and a musical night show, plus a selection of food outlets.

The Grand Mosque, featuring the city’s tallest minaret, is another must-see, as is the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House.

iv. costs incurred as a result of exceeding any relevant mileage restrictions.
