Sharjah Airport

Airport Car Rental

The third-largest city in the UAE, Sharjah doesn’t get nearly as much attention from foreign visitors as the big two, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but can be a fascinating place to explore. Although the city also has its fair share of futuristic skyscrapers, it is a lot more traditional and is notable for landmarks like the Museum of Islamic Civilization, Al Hisn Fort, and the Blue Souq or traditional market.

In spite of the rains and flooding towards the end of our trip, we had many other good experiences, especially kayaking in the Eastern mangroves in Abu Dhabi, eating lots of good Middle Eastern food like at Abd Wahab in Qaryat al Beri, visiting the wonderful museums in Sharjah and Ajman.
