I have come from India on a visit visa with my family for 7 days. I had heard a lot about Dubai and the architectural landmarks of Sharjah.
My friends had been calling me for many years but I could not make it. Now I am here. I am amazed to see Dubai life. Amazing malls, lovely people, smooth public transport service. And I fell in love with Sharjah. Sharjah is a very beautiful city. I visited museums and the Heritage Area. I was taken aback. I had an unbelievable experience.
The way Sharjah has preserved heritage areas is something incredible. For a minute I thought I was transported into a different world. A world which we had only heard about. Credit goes to the Sharjah Government for putting so much effort in keeping heritage alive.
I had a great time visiting Dubai and Sharjah but I felt I needed more time. There is so much in Sharjah to be explored. I have decided to come next year to experience more in Sharjah. I found the public transport great. Even night life is very smooth here. I had been to many places as a tourist but in the UAE I found I was safe and secure in the night. Even taxi guys are very cooperative and hospitable. It is amazing to roam around in the night in this part of the world.
