United Arab Emirates | A treasure in the Middle East, the old city of Sharjah

| A treasure in the Middle East, the old city of Sharjah. 🇦🇪 The third largest emirate of the UAE, Sharjah, was historically one of the wealthiest areas in the region, with a history of over 5000 years. Today, it blends the modern urban landscape with the traditional Arabian old town. The most immersive experience in this cultural capital of the UAE is to live within it—right in the Heart of Sharjah by the sea. ❤ The 'Heart of Sharjah' is one of the most important historical revitalization projects in the UAE, preserving the traditional Emirati architecture in the city center and restoring it to its 1950s appearance. Here you can find shops, restaurants, art galleries, markets, archaeological sites, museums, amusement areas, and the famous The Chedi Al Bait Sharjah UAE hotel. 🚶🏻 Surrounding tips: - You can buy a joint ticket for the following four museums for 20 units, or 10 units each if purchased separately. The hotel offers a buggy service to take guests there and give them a tour around. 1️⃣ Bait Al Naboodah: A grand house with beautiful furnishings 2️⃣ Sharjah Heritage Museum: Learn about the local culture and history of Sharjah 3️⃣ Sharjah Calligraphy Museum: Calligraphy art exhibition 4️⃣ Sharjah Fort (Al Hisn): Also known as Sharjah Castle, a defensive structure built in 1823, which was the headquarters of the independent emirate of Sharjah and the residence of the Al Qasimi family - Sharjah Art Museum: Free admission, very beautiful paintings - Souk Al Arsa: A covered open-air market, just outside the hotel's café, selling clothing, antiques, souvenirs Special Tip!!!! Don't buy souvenirs from the museums!!!! They are made in China... You'll only realize it after the purchase.
