Underestimated UAE - Sharjah Chapter
I recently visited three cities in the UAE: Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. Sharjah is seriously underrated — a hidden gem 🏜️, known as the cultural capital of the UAE. It’s less than 1 hour from Dubai by car 🚗💨, and easy to reach by taxi or self-drive. 🦁 【Sharjah Safari】 A massive wildlife park with 12 themed zones offering an immersive African safari experience 🐘🌍. You can choose from three ticket types — we picked the Silver (Jeep tour) for 126 AED per person. The tour takes about 4-5 hours. 📸 Sit in the last row for the best photos! 🌧️ 【Rain Room】 A mind-blowing tech-art installation where it rains… but you don’t get wet! 🤯💦 Entrance: 25 AED/person. Located right in the city center amid ruins — stepping inside feels like entering the future 🚀. 🅿️ Limited parking onsite — we parked on the street (make sure to pay the local parking fee!). 🏛️ 【Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization】 Right next to Rain Room — tickets are 10 AED/person (if I remember correctly!). The dome on the second floor is absolutely breathtaking ✨🕌 — filled with precious Islamic artifacts. A feast for the eyes and soul! 🏖️ 【Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa】 A gorgeous beachfront hotel with sea-view pools 🏊♂️🌊. We arrived just in time for sunset — the beach has loungers 🏖️☀️, and that moment pure vacation vibes hit! 🍽️ Great dining options nearby — we had amazing Thai food at one of the seaside restaurants 🍜😋. #UAE #Sharjah #Dubai #AbuDhabi #HiddenGems #OffTheBeatenPath #SafariAdventure #BeachLife #CulturalTravel
