Regional Info:

Sharjah is the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates and enjoys a convenient central location between Dubai and Ajman offering an exciting range of cultural and western attractions and activities. In addition to its own unique appeal Sharjah is immediately adjacent to the vibrant city of Dubai and the great desert wilderness of the UAE Peninsula, with the great Ajman beaches and the rugged east coast shores of Fujariah only short distances away. Sharjah itself is a busy and vibrant metropolis bustling with many cultures and nationalities all existing together in peaceful harmony. Cost of living in terms of transport, restaurants and shopping is very cheap enabling a higher saving potential than other more obvious expatriate hot spots that tend to part you from your money much faster! Sharjah is also the base for the popular carrier Air Arabia that offers fantastic deals to all parts of the Middle East affording opportunities to explore the region at the weekend or during longer school holidays.
