About Sharjah, UAE
Sharjah is the UAE’s third largest emirate and, unlike its flashier neighbours, has deliberately positioned itself as the cultural and intellectual capital of the Gulf. It is the only emirate to have won the UNESCO World Book Capital designation (2019) and is home to more than 20 museums — including the extraordinary Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation, the Sharjah Art Museum, and the Al Mahatta aviation museum. The Heritage Area and Blue Souk (Sharjah Central Market) are atmospheric places to shop for gold, textiles, and traditional crafts. Sharjah’s strict no-alcohol policy (unlike Dubai) makes it a preferred destination for Muslim Ugandan travellers. The emirate is also home to a major Ugandan and East African trading community — businesses importing goods from Sharjah’s industrial zones are found across Uganda. Sharjah airport offers very competitive fares via budget carriers and is just 20 minutes by road from Dubai city centre, effectively giving you access to both emirates at lower-cost entry prices.
