The rapid heyday of trade in the 19th century made Sharjah one of the most important seaports in the region.
The Emirate of Sharjah is the only emirate located both on the Arabian and Oman bays, a well as sharing a direct border with Dubai and Ajman. Life is calmer and more family-oriented in the city of Sharjah, and rules are slightly more strict. But at the same time, apartments and hotels are more affordable here, and all the Dubai entertainment is very close, which makes this city a great choice for living and going on a vacation.
The United Arab Emirates is a country of rich Emirati heritage dating back hundreds of years. The achievements of UAE in the last decades, as well as its deep connection with neighboring nations is truly fascinating - and it is reflected in a number of museums, forts and historical sites available throughout the country.
If you are looking for an opportunity to know more about the history of the UAE, then museums are the best way to start your journey. Some of the most popular museums can be found in all the major cities, like Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
