Many Indians travel from Goa to Sharjah for work opportunities in the UAE or to visit family. Sharjah offers a more relaxed cultural experience than Dubai, with beautiful mosques and a focus on Islamic art and history. Expect a significant change in scenery, from Goa's beaches to Sharjah's desert landscape and modern cityscapes.
The best time to visit Sharjah is during the winter months, from November to March. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for sightseeing. Avoid travelling during the summer months (June to August) due to the intense heat and humidity.
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is well-connected to the city center. Taxis are readily available outside the airport and cost around 40-50 AED for a ride to central Sharjah. The Sharjah Public Transport Corporation (SPTC) operates buses from the airport to various parts of the city, which is a more budget-friendly option.
