Covering 2600 km, Sharjah is the third largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, known for its rich cultural heritage, masjeeds, museums, souks and cricket matches. Sharjah has preserved the cultural roots and values all along. If you are visiting UAE as a tourist and finding it hard to explore the real Arab and Islamic culture in places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, try visiting Sharjah for that purpose. You will not be disappointed.
Sharjah has a relatively strict decency law in effect that prohibits from alcohol consumption and other similar activities. So some conventional religious families will also prefer to reside in Sharjah as compared to Dubai or other estates.
Sharjah hasn't joined the real estate race as yet; although it is picking up but huge skyscrapers and mega structures are not sprinkled all over the place as yet. Property rent prices are much lower than Dubai; this is the reason why most of the expatriates working in Dubai now choose to live in Sharjah. Apartments for rent and hotels in Sharjah offer a much cheaper accommodation as compared to Dubai.
Now that you have decided for spending your next holiday in Arab and Islamic places, Sharjah, all you have to do is to find the most appropriate apartment for rent or hotel that matches your budget.
