With historical monuments, museums and mosques, Sharjah is perhaps the only cosmopolitan city to feature in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman coastline. With our car hire services available at a great rate, there is no reason not to explore this beautiful area.

While you may have thought Sharjah was all about the sun and the desert dunes, the Natural History Museum offers you a different viewpoint. Featuring lovely species of plants and animals which are found along Sharjah’s awesome seashore, this museum is a delightful place to visit. With our car hire services in tow, you can visit a host of other museums in the city – the Art Museum, the Islamic Center and the Heritage Museum being a few examples.

Situated in the middle of the Burj Avenue and the Al-Maraija Road, Sharjah Heritage Avenue is a picturesque destination and a beautiful area where you can see plenty of old-styled houses, monuments and mosques. Certain places to visit in the Heritage Area are the Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, the Bait Al-Naboodah and the Souq-Al-Arsa.

The Al Hisn Fort is situated in very close proximity with the Sharjah Heritage Village and occupies most of its vast expanse. Renovated and turned into a museum representing the Sheikh culture today, the Fort was constructed in an Arabesque style during the 16th century and stands tall with its minarets and vantage points even today. A drive into the Heritage Village using Sharjah car rental services would allow you to see all of this and more.

More like an information centre with entertainment options geared towards children, the Sharjah Desert Park is a beautiful enclave in the vicinity of Sharjah, consisting of museums, galleries and play areas. A guided tour into the Desert Park would take you around the museums, art galleries and wildlife conservatories and give you an insight into the animal life in the Arab Peninsula.

A famous town square featuring modern attractions such as malls, shopping arcades, cafes and restaurants, walk plazas and promenades in its midst, the Al-Quasba is also called the ‘Eye of the Emirates’ and is more like the Waterfront Area with wide entertainment options.  Sharjah also has various mosques such as the King Faisal Mosque and others, which can be visited using Sharjah car rental services.  Car hire offers so many solutions for travel that it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.
