The cultural capital of the Arab world (UNESCO awarded epithet!), Sharjah is a 15 minute drive from Dubai if you are lucky; it will take up to 2.5 hours during the inter-emirate rush hour.
Sharjah is a successful fishing, pearling and trading nation and the city grew around the creek and lagoon and now beautifully landscaped.
It is a place which hub the richer class of Arabs.Lot of cricket fans are here,the matches held here are watched with great enthusiasm, one the reasons is high profile betting that goes on for this game.The big dons in this field also dwell here.
I've been to Sharjah a few times. I think it is quite high class unlike the other places like the villages and small towns. This place is very clean and has very rich people. I don't know how much fun it would be to visit, although there are museums and other sights to see, I don't really like visiting places with too many rich people as they tend to be rude and aren't very friendly.
