Tourism Cover - Saves Your Money

By Miranda Parker


Making your way in the world today is not as easy and as relaxed as it used to be. There are so many demands that take up all your time and energy, leaving you tired, exhausted and jaded on a regular basis. Being in this condition is not healthy, for, how can you be productive if you are not appropriately charged up? You need and deserve a break.

Consider making yourself a Sharjah tourist. Being one means availing yourself to explore and enjoy an Arabian adventure that is enough to refresh your state of being, so that you can later return to work, all ready to take up whatever challenges that come your way.

Once in Sharjah, you will be spoilt for choice as to how best to spend your time there. If you are a museum buff, pick from among a handful of museums, many of which occupy buildings that are the place's heritage. Restored meticulously from older and grander versions, the looks of the buildings are enough to entice your senses, even before getting in them. Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, Sharjah Heritage Museum, Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, Al-Mahattah-Museum, Sharjah Art Museum, and Sharjah Archeology Museum are the places you want to head for, each specializing in a different aspect of Arabic history, culture, and the arts.

With Islam being the religion in this part of the world, in you will find fascinating Islamic history exhibits, including handwritten Qur'ans from the olden days, and even letters from none other than the Prophet Muhammad (May Peach Be Upon Him) written to leaders the world over in his attempt to spread the word of the religion. There are also Arabic handicrafts, and a host of other items on display, depending on the specialty of the museum.

Arabic market places are also a 'must see' destination. For example, the Central Souq (or Blue Souq) is a good place to hunt for souvenirs and memorabilia that you want to take home. With around 600 shops selling designer clothes, gold, and exotic ornaments, you will be overwhelmed as to which to pick! There are also carpets that have made their way from Afganistan for you to choose from.

A range of tourism information for Sharjah can be found on the internet, particularly the Sharjah tourist information website. Do not delay any longer. Give yourself the gift of an exotic Arabian holiday!
