Tour description
Sharjah is the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates, a city that preserves its Arab heritage more completely than its flashy neighbors, with restored heritage quarters, museums, and traditional souks. Elegant and dignified, it offers a more traditional side of the Emirates. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's heritage gems.
You will admire the stunning Al Noor Mosque, stroll through the restored Heart of Sharjah heritage district, and explore traditional souks. Throughout the journey, you will hear stories of the pearl-diving era, the ruling family, and Emirati traditions. Both elegant and deeply traditional, Sharjah is a city well worth exploring on foot.
