If you are like millions of other people trying to make a living in this world, you know that life is not as laid back and as easy as the olden days. We all need to work hard just to make ends meet, every day feeling tired and exhausted, and never quite fulfilled. This is not a good condition to be in. With a state of mind like this, it is very difficult to give our best to our career. That is why if we can afford it, we should give ourselves the break we so deserve.
If you are looking for a holiday that is not the usual run-of-the-mill kind, then, be a Sharjah tourist. By being one, you will be giving yourself the opportunity to experience an Arabian holiday that will invigorate your mind and rejuvenate your soul, sufficient for you to return to work, all energised and refreshed after that.
Sharjah has many charms that can take your breath away. Why don’t you embark on an adventure where you stimulate your mind to the fullest by visiting several museums in the city. You will appreciate the buildings upon which the museums are housed – many are old but have been lovingly restored to bring back the glory they once were. There are the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, Sharjah Art Museum, Sharjah Archeology Museum, Sharjah Heritage Museum, Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, and the Al-Mahattah-Museum. These places store a wealth of Arabic history, culture, and arts, allowing you to immerse your intellect in your quest to get to know the place better.
With Mecca, which is Islam’s headquarters of sorts, being rather close to Sharjah, you will find many Islamic history exhibits in the museums there. Among them are ancient Qur’ans that were handwritten during the days gone by, and a couple of rare letters that originated from the Prophet Muhammad (May Peach Be Upon Him). The letters were dedicated to world leaders of the time, in a call for them to embrace Islam. Depending on what the museum specializes in, a host of Arabic handicrafts and other local paraphernalia are also on display.
While a visit to the museums will expand your knowledge on all things Arabia, you should not skip the markets. For, in here you will experience the hustle and bustle that gives the place the charm that makes the tourists come back for more every time. For example, the Blue Souq (Souq Al Markazi, also known as the Central Souq) has approximately 600 shops that sell everything from gold and expensive designer clothes, to carpets and curios from near and far places, including Afghanistan and Tibet. Here is where you want to get gifts and traditional items to take home.
