Vacationers in Sharjah do not need to travel to other emirates to visit water parks, because there is its own water park with modern attractions.
Things to do in Sharjah
Sharjah Water Park
Waterpark “Al Montazah Park” is equipped with:
- a wave pool and two pools with playgrounds for young guests of different ages;
- lazy river;
- water slides, including several slides;
- the green zone (intended for quiet walks and picnics; you can lie on the green lawn, ride a bike along special paths, ride a dhow boat on the lake);
- cafes and restaurants, where, in addition to Arabic cuisine, you can treat yourself to Russian cuisine.
Adults will pay 120 dirhams for the entrance, and children (height 0, 8-1, 1 m) - 75 dirhams.
It is worth noting that on Tuesdays (it is “proclaimed” as women's day), only women and children can visit the water park “Al Montazaah” with them.
Having a rest in Sharjah and having driven only 15 minutes, you can find yourself in another water park - “Dreamland”: it pampers guests with spiral slides and adrenaline slides, a lazy river, “Twister” slopes (40-meter cycle tunnel), “Family Raft Ride”, Twisting Dragons, grottoes, Dream Stream, “WavePool” and “Water Rides”, an interactive pool with children's play areas and Hippos Island (volcanic island), as well as Bumper Boats. Adults are charged AED 135 to enter, while small guests (up to 1.2 m tall) are charged AED 85.
Water activities in Sharjah
Visitors to Sharjah should visit the local aquarium ($ 5, 5 / adults and $ 3 / 4-17 year olds): there are more than 250 species of sea creatures - from seahorses to predatory moray eels.
Sharjah has both public and private beaches with gently sloping entrances to the water (this fact will be appreciated by vacationers with children) - the latter are “assigned” to hotels, are better equipped and have an entrance fee. Public ones are free to visit (payment is provided for the use of umbrellas and sun loungers), but the fair sex may face such a problem as the need to sunbathe without taking off a T-shirt or dress.
For a beach holiday, travelers can head to Coral Beach - there are conditions for snorkeling and water skiing.
For entertainment, guests of Sharjah can take a closer look at the Al Qasba Canal: here you can visit entertainment centers or go on a mini-cruise on a dhow boat (the route is designed taking into account skiing under bridges with a swim in picturesque bays) - it is best to do this in the evening to admire the musical a fountain (you can see them 2 times a day) and skyscrapers with glowing colored lights.
