Luxury holidays in Sharjah

When to go

You'll want to avoid the high temperatures of July and August, but otherwise Sharjah is balmy and sun-blessed all year round.

Getting there

• Planes

  Direct flights from Middle Eastern, African and South Asian hubs touch down at Sharjah International Airport. Alternatively, fly to Dubai International Airport, which is a 30-minute drive (traffic allowing) from the city centre.

• Automobiles

  Transfers and taxis may well suffice for exploring this well-connected Emirate. But with Dubai just 30 to 60 minutes’ drive away, depending on traffic, a set of wheels will prove useful for adventures beyond the city limits.
