Why this trip

If you travel from Dubai to the neighbouring city of Sharjah, you experience a quieter emirate with a strong cultural stamp that suits families with children. Stretches of water, parks and museums lie close together, and the distances are manageable. Al Majaz Waterfront is a place for the late afternoon, where children play on the promenade and watch the fountain. The Sharjah Aquarium shows marine animals from the region and is popular with children.

On Flag Island the emirate's flag can be seen from afar, and Prison Island takes children to a small island with history. The Al Qasba Canal is a place with cafés, and the Al Montazah Parks offer play equipment and water slides. As accommodation, the Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa comes into question if you want to combine beach and hotel. According to the country data, November to April is the best time, when the heat is bearable.

With a flight of about 6 to 6.5 hours, the journey is manageable. Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and Abu Dhabi lie as neighbours in the Emirates.
