Walk along the comfortably air-conditioned alleyways of the market which is home to numerous quaint stores selling local, new and antique handicrafts, Arabic bridal and pearl chests, ethnic and handmade jewelry, perfume bottles and incense, palm-leaf baskets and shawls. Then Sharjah Fort, also known as Al Hisn Fort. It was built in 1823 and used to be the residence of the Qawasim ruling family as well as government headquarter. Situated right at the historical heart of Sharjah, the fascinating Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization started its life as traditional Middle Eastern souq or indoor market. Renovated and re-opened in 2008, We conclude our visit with a short stop at Souq Al Jubail, a newly opened state of the art market place. Inspired by the impressive heritage of Islamic architecture, the Souq accommodates a wide range of shops for visitors to enjoy.
