significance, Sharjah is now a city that blends old world charm with modern
progress in a cosmopolitan setting. As the third largest city in the United
Arab Emirates, after Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Sharjah is also home to the royal
palace of the city's monarch.

Owing to its rich heritage Sharjah has a staggering seventeen museums in

Museum, Sharjah Archaeology Museum and the Numismatics Museum. The Maritime
Museum and the Sharjah Natural History Museum and Desert Park are also
