Prices for tours to Sharjah
It is best to vacation in Sharjah in October-November and March-April, so the most expensive tours are carried out in the high season - in spring and autumn. You can save a little by coming here in winter (with the exception of New Year and Christmas holidays), when the discount season begins (exciting shopping and shopping festivals await you). The cheapest tours are carried out in summer, as it gets very hot in this emirate at this time (+ 40-50˚ C).
On a note
It is worth considering that there is a “dry law” in Sharjah (not only can you not drink alcohol here, but even have it in your luggage). It is unacceptable to appear in public places in clothes that do not cover your hands, knees and neck. In order not to be fined, it is advisable to dispose of garbage exclusively in waste bins specially designed for it.
Since there is no public transport in Sharjah, you can get around the emirate by taxi or hotel buses.
Memorable gifts from Sharjah can be jewelry, high-end textiles, electronics, Arabian perfumery, carpets, bottles of colored sand, coffee and coffee accessories.
