Among the emirates of the UAE, Sharjah is the most original. It is located on the shores of two bays at once - the Persian and Omani. The location on the peninsula determines the enormous length of the beaches. In this third largest emirate of the country, vacation prices are significantly lower than in promoted Dubai. Even five-star hotels with a beach in Sharjah have a price per room lower than similar ones in the neighboring flagship of the tourism sector. But there are some nuances in this emirate. If the UAE has a dry law, then in Sharjah it is very severe. You can not drink alcohol not only on the streets, but also in restaurants and on the beach. The same applies to public morality - topless sunbathing is prohibited.
Access to the beaches
Sharjah is mainly chosen by family tourists who are indifferent to drunken parties. Here are excellent conditions for relaxing with a child. The hotel administration takes into account the wishes of guests to shop and organizes a regular transfer to malls and shopping centers in Dubai. Despite the long coastline, Sharjah hotels with their own beach are quite rare. Most hotels are urban. They offer their guests a free shuttle service to the city park, which has access to the municipal beach. There sunbeds and other ammunition are paid.
Hotels of the "second line", as a rule, have an agreement with their neighbors located on the shore for free admission and servicing of guests. Thus, if you settle in the “troika” or “four”, you only need to cross the road and go to the chic hotels of Sharjah with its own beach. But the latter, as already mentioned, are not so many. For example, in the Khaled lagoon, out of nine hotels, only three are on the first line.
