Tour description
Sharjah is the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates, a city that has preserved its Arabian heritage more than its glitzy neighbours, 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 reveals its heritage.
You will admire the beautiful Al Noor Mosque, wander the restored Heart of Sharjah heritage area, and explore the traditional souks. Along the way you will hear about the pearling era, the ruling family and Emirati traditions. Elegant and traditional, Sharjah is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
