Best Luxury Hotels in Sharjah

It’s lesser-known than its two more populated UAE counterparts, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but Sharjah is in fact the arts capital of the United Arab Emirates. Rich in museums and galleries, it’s a cultural hotspot, recognised by UNESCO, and has expansive archaeological sites further afield. It also has much to keep children amused, including a butterfly house and the Sharjah Desert Park. The city is situated on the coast, so it makes for a wonderful alternative beach holiday too. Here are our top places to stay in Sharjah.
