Sharjah

As your private jet charter lands in Sharjah International Airport, your private car will be waiting to whisk you into the city centre, just 20 minutes away. The third most populated city in the United Arab Emirates, Sharjah is the capital of the eponymously titled Emirate and a popular destination for thousands of tourists every year. Its commitment to the media and creative industries means Sharjah is home to many entrepreneurs who flock to this world-class hub.

As you’d expect from this cultural, vibrant city you’ll be spoiled for choice with accommodation. You’ll find all the big names you’d expect including the Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort and Spa, and plenty of other high-end stays. If you’re looking for a little more privacy, rent out a luxury villa for the duration of your stay with the options of a pool and hiring additional staff to make your trip as relaxing as possible.

When you’re refreshed and ready to see what’s on offer in Sharjah, why not start with a private dune buggy trip to the nearby red dunes. If city life is more your thing, then the Souk al-Markazi is always worth your time. More commonly known as the Blue Souk, thanks to its blue-patterned tiles, this market is famous for its gold and diamond shops and for its authentic Bedouin jewellery.

A private tour of the city is the perfect way to experience the King Faisal Mosque or Museum of Islamic Civilization. Located just half an hour from Dubai by car, Sharjah is a convenient base for exploring the surrounding Emirates. When you’re ready to head out to dinner, you won’t be disappointed. Try Nayaab Haandi serving authentic Pakistani and Mughlai dishes, but don’t expect a wine list. Alcohol is largely forbidden in this conservative country.

Other tastebud pleasing restaurants include Crisol, with its melting pot of cuisines served in stylish surroundings. Make sure to book. Sharjah is a year-round destination, with a hot, desert climate. While it’s warm in the winter months, temperatures soar in the summer to around 40°Celsius (108F). Naturally, most tourists are drawn to the cooler parts of the year. January to April are pleasantly warm, while November and December are also popular, making it the perfect escape from cold European winters.

Known as the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates, Sharjah is a fantastic destination for a few days spent unwinding or to visit as part of a tour of the Emirates. With a character all of its own, you’ll find a modern, exciting city, welcoming entrepreneurship and industry, while also preserving its cultural heritage. With fine food and a warm welcome, Sharjah must be next on your list of private charter trips.
