Other Muslim Friendly Cities in Emirate of Sharjah

Dibba Al-Hisn - a seaside resort near northern border of the United Arab Emirates with Oman's Musandam peninsula

Emirate of Sharjah Halal Travel Guide

Sharjah emirate has borders with Dubai, Umm al Quwain and Fujairah while the emirate of Ajman forms an enclave within Sharjah.

It is the only emirates to have a coastline on both the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. This is by virtue of the emirate being made up of a main part (where the capital city Sharjah is) that is located along the Persian Gulf, and the exclaves of Kalba, Khor Fakkan, and Dibba Al Hisn which are scattered along the Gulf of Oman coast. Sharjah also controls the Nahwa enclave, which is located within the Omani exclave of Madha, which in turn is surrounded by Sharjah territory near the Gulf of Oman coast.

Because of its proximity to Dubai and the lower cost of living in Sharjah, many people live in Sharjah and work in Dubai. This causes daily traffic jams at rush hours.

Local Language in Emirate of Sharjah

As in the rest of the United Arab Emirates, Arabic is the official language, with most residents actually speaking other languages entirely - particularly Hindi and Urdu. English is widely spoken in shops, souqs, and hotels.

Taxis can travel from Dubai to Sharjah and vice versa without any restrictions.

How to get around in Emirate of Sharjah

There is no public transport in Sharjah, which means that visitors will need to have their own wheels or rely on taxis, which have historically been unmetered, and although some of these remain, but several new companies operating metered taxis have become operational. They are similar in quality to Dubai's taxi fleet.

Taxi drivers, although mostly courteous, have the tendency to refuse passengers if the time of travel coincides with rush hour traffic. It is advisable to plan your travel well, allowing for traffic jams which could take 90 min to get out of.
