I still remember the Saturday I visited Sharjah, November 12th. My driver, Khalid, picked me up from Dubai Mall Metro Station. We headed to Sharjah on Al Dhaid Road, a 30-minute drive. I paid 50 AED for the trip.
So, you want to visit Sharjah's art museums. Look for affordable options like public transport - bus fares start at 5 AED. But, I prefer driving or hiring a taxi for convenience. Honestly, traffic won't be a problem if you leave early.
Here's the thing: Sharjah has a plethora of museums. I visited the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, which costs 10 AED per person. The Sharjah Art Museum is another must-visit, with free admission. And, the Sharjah Heritage Museum is worth a visit, priced at 5 AED per person.
For lunch, I'd recommend trying some local cuisine at Al Qasba, where you can find restaurants serving dishes like machboos for around 50 AED per meal. Don't forget to try some Arabic coffee.
If you're not driving, you can take a taxi from Dubai to Sharjah, which costs around 100 AED. Alternatively, you can take the metro to Rashidiya Metro Station and then take a bus or taxi to Sharjah. You'll find the journey quite straightforward.
For a hassle-free experience, consider booking a tour. You can book tours through Roamigo Trips, which also offers other exciting experiences like Dubai Safari Park Tickets & Village Experience. My tip: book your tickets in advance to avoid queues, and you'll save around 20 AED per person.
