Introduction
The Sharjah is the third largest Emirate, having some 2,600 sq km and coasts on both the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It surpassed Dubai as a maritime trading center until a dreadful night half a century ago when a terrible storm silted up its creek. Sharjah took an early lead in developing tourism. Some tourists use it as a base for exploring the other Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman. It is less crowded and the hotels are significantly less expensive than the competition in Dubai. Sharjah is also a popular arrival point for shoppers, with thousands (mostly from the former Eastern bloc) entering the UAE via airport on one-week visas. Sharjah suq is the most amazing building in the entire country. Sharjah is proud of its reputation as a guardian of the country's cultural and intellectual tradition.,
