Itinerary

We leave the meeting place and go in the direction of Sharjah, where the adventure starts. The majestic King Faisal Mosque, one of the biggest mosques in the Emirates, is where we begin our journey. The mosque serves as evidence of the significant Islamic presence in the area and provides a window into Emirati culture.
 
When we get at the old Fort of Sharjah, we next go back in time to the year 1820. When the Al Qasimi family was in power, this castle served as their home. It is now a museum. Wander through its halls to find the intriguing artefacts, traditional Emirati weapons, and antiquated texts that provide a look into the region's rich history.
 
As we go on, we stop at the quaint Souk Al Arsa, a lively market that oozes a classic charm. Browse the shops loaded with ethnic handicrafts, flavorful spices, and vivid textiles as you meander through its winding streets.
 
We arrive to the magnificent Sharjah Islamic Museum after exploring Sharjah's cultural gems. Explore an extensive collection of artefacts, manuscripts, and works of art to learn about the long history of Islam and its impact on the Arab world.
 
Later, we arrive at the bustling Sharjah Central Souq, commonly known as Souk Al Markazi, before our journey comes to an end. This crowded bazaar is a veritable gold mine of carpets, priceless jewelry, and delicate handicrafts.
 
We bid Sharjah adieu as our journey comes to an end and return to Dubai, where the tour is completed at the renowned Dubai Mall. Consider the life-changing encounters and fresh insights discovered during this interactive tour around Sharjah's cultural center.
