Sharjah is UAE’s third largest emirate and the most unique among the seven, having both the East and West coastlines of the peninsula. One interesting fact about the Sharjah Emirate is that it is dubbed as the Cultural Capital of the Arab World, being home to the rich heritage and culture of the Arabs. Getting around this highly cultural place is easy through cheap car hire at Sharjah, since the Emirate is shy of public transport.

With car hire at Sharjah, it is easy to reach the town’s Heritage Area where restored old houses and great constructions can be found. Alongside the heritage area is the town’s Artistic facet where the Sharjah Art Museum is rested. The museum holds collections of regional as well as international exhibits, ranging from history, marine, nature and aviation, among others.

You may also drive by the Blue Souq, also known as the Souq Al Markazi or the Central Souq, a unique shopping centre where literally, hundreds of shops are in business. The souk is a great place from which to buy international as well as local traditional goods at great prices. If you can’t get enough of the Sharjah shopping experience, drive your car rental at Sharjah to the Souq al-Arsah which is the oldest in the country.

A great religious landmark is located just near the canal—the Qanat Al Qasba, a very elegant mosque. Aside from the elaborate designs of many other mosques in town, Sharjah also features some seventeen museums which furthur justifies its cultural capital title.

Aside from being a cultural hub, Sharjah also offers many great recreational opportunities like jetskiing over the Khalid Lagoon, a popular activity during the summer season, or watching some F1 Boat races around the Buhaira Cornche man made island during December.
