CITY GUIDE Private jet charter and flights to Sharjah

Often overlooked in favour of its larger-than-life sister emirates, Sharjah is fast becoming a Middle Eastern cultural hotspot. Crammed with world-class museums, galleries and heritage sights, the UAE’s arts capital is also prized for its tax-free shopping opportunities and authentic culinary scene. Experience it all: request a private jet charter quote from Air Charter Service.

Sharjah is home to a slew of outstanding museums showcasing art, science, aviation and maritime exhibitions. Learn about the origins of Islam at the Museum of Islamic Civilisation, located in a beautiful former souk with stained-glass windows, where you can uncover the work of Arabic scholars and discover the religion’s Five Pillars. Then uncover the emirate’s fascinating beginnings at Sharjah Heritage Area, wandering through winding streets lined with restored traditional Arabian houses and perusing unique treasures at the pretty Al Arsa souk.

Fans of art and nature will love Sharjah Aquarium, which is home to jellyfish, moray eels and blacktip reef sharks, and Al Noor Island, a peaceful enclave featuring a butterfly house and exotic gardens dotted with sculptures and art installations. Stroll along the waterside at Khalid Lagoon with its impressive fountain spurting water 160ft into the air, and take a ride on the ‘Eye of the Emirates’ giant wheel for spectacular bird’s-eye views over the city.

Come to Sharjah ready to indulge in retail therapy – this tax-free shopping haven offers everything from modern malls to traditional souks. City Centre Sharjah is a sprawling complex featuring over 120 international brands, while the Sahara Centre boasts a range of shops, restaurants and a cinema. For striking local souvenirs, browse Sharjah’s famous handcrafted furniture at the Gold Souk or haggle for antiques, carpet and jewellery on the top floor of the exotic Central Market, soaking up the authentic atmosphere of an Arabian bazaar.

From simple street shawarma to rustic Bedouin cafés, Sharjah is a great place to sample authentic Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Try traditional Moroccan fare at El Manza, modern Lebanese dishes at Shababeek and regional Indian specialities at Gazebo. For an alternative to local cuisines, the area’s many five-star hotels boast upscale fine-dining restaurants serving an array of international flavours.

Sharjah is scattered with luxury hotels offering spacious suites and high-end facilities. The sleek Hilton Sharjah is located in the heart of the city with magnificent views over Khalid Lagoon, or for a more peaceful base, the Radisson Blu Resort and Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa offer private beaches overlooking the tranquil Arabian Gulf. The neighbouring emirate of Ajman is home to the ultra-luxurious Kempinski Hotel Ajman, which boasts an idyllic stretch of white sand and a pampering spa.
