Dubai and Abu Dhabi are usually the first cities that pop to mind when someone mentions the United Arab Emirates, but the country’s third-largest city of Sharjah is equally impressive. These are the best five places this city has to offer and they’ll truly take your breath away.
Al Khan Lagoon
Al Khan Lagoon offers some of the best panoramic views of the city skyline, and it’s the place to be if you want to have an amazing walk and take impressive photos.
Al Mamzar Beach
Speaking of perfect spots for a relaxing walk, it doesn’t get better than Al Mamzar Beach, and the skyline views are really top-notch.
Al-Noor Mosque
Sharjah is home to several places of worship, but none of them gets as much attention as Al-Noor Mosque, inspired by the design of the Ottoman-era Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
Al Noor Island
After checking out Al-Noor Mosque, take a moment to explore the rest of Al Noor Island. It’s the perfect mix of natural beauty and modern architecture, and the Butterfly House is one of its most picturesque attractions.
Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization
If you can only visit a single museum while in Sharjah, make it this one. Truly breathtaking inside and out, this cultural institution houses over 5,000 artifacts from the Islamic world.
