Now in Sharjah East flavor is combined with modern buildings. There are practically no old houses. About the pirate past resemble only towers for observation along the coast of the Persian Gulf and houses with inserts from corals. A masterpiece of architecture in this emirate is considered the central market, which was built relatively recently.
This is an amazing city, here I was able to relax from drinking. The circle is only cleanliness, attentive, responsive people, well-groomed green lawns. I really liked the beach to me, this is something incredible, the Persian bay captured me forever.
Pleasant waves rolling with such a force that they are simply knocked down, sea water is very warm, caressing the body, clean and sparkling.
Surprised locals. Almost everyone has their own car. Very many taxi drivers, all taxis only Toyota Camry brand. From public transport there is only a free bus for tourists, on which vacationers go to Dubai shopping.
When we could not find the places you need, we asked the road at the local. To explain how to go somewhere not very loved, they immediately offer to ride free on the car. The first days it scarecrow and worried. Then we learned that this is normal and do not need to be afraid. People are very responsive and kind. The crime rate is almost zero.
We need to take into account all vacationers to tourists that Emirate Sharjah is one of the most stringent. In this city you will not be able to sunbathe without the top of the swimsuit, there are practically no disco. Sharjah is called non-alcoholic emirate, where alcoholic beverages are prohibited even in hotels. Here, the requirements of the book Quran are strictly observed here, during the Ramadan period it is better not to come, as it is not possible to relax. Foreign tourists who come to Sharjah are obliged to also comply with all the requirements of the Quran.
As for the clothes here strictly, together with my girlfriend on our first day went outside in T-shoes with open shoulders, so men looked at us very strange. It was not that a nice look when the man looks at an attractive woman for him, it was a condemning and unpleasant look. In addition, passing by us, they all said something on the Arabic as a perturbed tone, depending on our eyes. We were frightened, returned to the room and changed in closed clothes. The attitude of others immediately changed for the better.
As for alcohol, everything is very strict, Sharjah is a very conservative city. It is impossible to buy it in stores, it is not for sale anywhere. If you need alcohol, you can go after it to the neighboring emirate Ajman. Riding near, 10-20 minutes from the center of Sharjah. But in all week, that we spent in Sharjah, we did not want particularly alcohol. There is here and without it there is something to do what the stores are worth it, with a lot of things that are affected by our prices, several times cheaper than us. We spent there long hours that flew for us, like minutes. This city is good for shopping, it is advantageous to buy good high-quality things.
What surprised in Sharjah, it's how buildings and residential buildings are built there. The distance between houses and hotels is very small, sufficient only to drive the car. I have not seen anywhere in order to build at home at such a close distance from each other.
Be sure to come back here again, in this fairy tale, which you can not forget!
