This
tour will introduce you to
the Emirate of Sharjah, also
known as the 'City of
Culture'. In this emirate,
one of the landmarks to
photographers is the King
Faisal Mosque, currently the
largest mosque in the
Emirates. We continue then
to the renovated Fort of
Sharjah, which was
originally built in 1820 and
used to be the Residence of
the ruling family. The Al
Naboodah House, the museum
for cultural heritage is the
next place to see. This
district is also
known
as the museum area. In the
Islamic Museum you will have
an interesting introduction
in all aspects of the
Islamic culture. A quick
stroll to the adjacent souks
of 'Al Arsa' and to the 'Majarrah
Souk' will take you to our
next venue which is the souk
'Al Markazi' - a treasure
chest full of carpets,
jewellery and handicrafts.
Here you will certainly find
your right souvenir.
After
a short stop for shopping at
the Gold Centre, our tour
continues to the Emirate of
Ajman and its famous
historical museum. Here you
will have a short briefing
with excellent displays
about the Emirates past
before the oil was
discovered. Visit the old
Dhow-building yard and see
how these Dhows (wooden
sailing boats) are still
built today in the tradition
of the past. This concludes
our tour before heading back
to Dubai.
