#urbanwanderings Jarir Bookstore is a store that not just full of books, but also full of electronic goods, phone case and protector, computer goods and even there are toys on the second floor. I was wandering around the Riyadh Olya, Saudi Arabia alone and was expecting to see more high rise building, and I came into this amazing bookstore here by the middle of the road!

| A treasure in the Middle East, the old city of Sharjah. 🇦🇪 The third largest emirate of the UAE, Sharjah, was historically one of the wealthiest areas in the region, with a history of over 5000 years. Today, it blends the modern urban landscape with the traditional Arabian old town. The most immersive experience in this cultural capital of the UAE is to live within it—right in the Heart of Sharjah by the sea. ❤ The 'Heart of Sharjah' is one of the most important historical revitalization projects in the UAE, preserving the traditional Emirati architecture in the city center and restoring it to its 1950s appearance. Here you can find shops, restaurants, art galleries, markets, archaeological sites, museums, amusement areas, and the famous The Chedi Al Bait Sharjah UAE hotel. 🚶🏻 Surrounding tips: - You can buy a joint ticket for the following four museums for 20 units, or 10 units each if purchased separately. The hotel offers a buggy service to take guests there and give them a tour around. 1️⃣ Bait Al Naboodah: A grand house with beautiful furnishings 2️⃣ Sharjah Heritage Museum: Learn about the local culture and history of Sharjah 3️⃣ Sharjah Calligraphy Museum: Calligraphy art exhibition 4️⃣ Sharjah Fort (Al Hisn): Also known as Sharjah Castle, a defensive structure built in 1823, which was the headquarters of the independent emirate of Sharjah and the residence of the Al Qasimi family - Sharjah Art Museum: Free admission, very beautiful paintings - Souk Al Arsa: A covered open-air market, just outside the hotel's café, selling clothing, antiques, souvenirs Special Tip!!!! Don't buy souvenirs from the museums!!!! They are made in China... You'll only realize it after the purchase.

Sharjah may not be the largest emirate in the UAE, but it retains the most complete Arabian historical culture. This protection and inheritance permeate every aspect, subtly influencing everything around. This time, staying at The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah, a resort hotel transformed from the ancient mansion of one of Sharjah's four wealthiest families. Outside the door is a bustling market, and through an inconspicuous alley, you find another tranquil world. 🏨Al Bait means 'home'. This radiant 'home' located in the heart of Sharjah is a precious historical conservation artifact in itself, constructed mainly of wood and rammed earth, exuding a sense of history with ever-changing light and shadows at different times, and a dreamy light at night, making one feel as if they are in another era. 🕌️The circular wind tower outside the reception area is said to be the oldest in the UAE and has become a symbol of the hotel. The guest area is in another secluded space, with high walls in the corridors leading to a serene path. The second floor also has connecting aerial corridors; though not large, they resemble a maze, and it's easy to get lost when first arriving, adding to the sense of mystery. 🛏️The hotel has a total of 53 rooms, each blending Arabian style with a holiday vibe, and each one is unique. The original layout of the old building is preserved, and restored to its former state. With wooden ceilings, woven grass murals, wooden furniture, and a hundred percent Middle Eastern exotic atmosphere. The bath amenities are from the Italian national treasure brand 'Acqua di Parma', and the mattresses are the same as those used in sailboat hotels, said to be worth 100,000, and whether it's psychological or not, they provide an incredibly good night's sleep. 🏊‍♀️Although it is a renovated old house, the facilities are very complete, with a swimming pool, SPA, and fitness center hidden in different corners, forming unique scenery. There's even a library open only to guests, telling the family's past with artifacts. 🍴The full-service restaurant, The restaurant, offers a chance to bask in the morning sun in the courtyard, and over three days, I tried Arabian, American, and Indian breakfasts, each completely different and satisfyingly delicious. The Chinese dinner and other meals here also have their own characteristics, highly recommended. Because it's right in the heart of Sharjah, you can walk to various museums, mosques, and markets, easily exploring Sharjah's historical and cultural heritage.

Sharjah is the third-largest city in the United Arab Emirates and is known as the "Cultural Metropolis of the UAE". It is home to a number of museums, art galleries, and cultural attractions. Sharjah is also a major shopping destination, with a number of malls and souks. Sharjah is a vibrant and diverse city with something to offer everyone. Whether you are interested in culture, shopping, or simply relaxing on the beach, Sharjah is the perfect place to visit. It is a place where you can experience the best of both worlds - a modern city with a rich cultural heritage.

The Sharjah Art Museum is a contemporary art gallery located in the heart of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It was founded in 1997 and houses a collection of over 500 works of art by Arab artists, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions of international art. The Sharjah Art Museum is housed in an eye-catching building designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid. The building is made of white concrete and glass, and its undulating forms are inspired by the desert landscape of the UAE. The museum has three levels of exhibition space, as well as a library, a research center, and a café. The museum's collection of Arab art is one of the most extensive in the world. It includes works by some of the most significant Arab artists, such as Hassan Sharif, Mohammed Kazem, and Ahmed Mater. The collection is divided into three main sections: Modern Art, Contemporary Art, and Islamic Art. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions of international art.

This property was renovated from an old Arab Houses and only 20 mins from Dubai International Airport. The hotel face to a canal and close to a local market, you could walk and find some local stuff. Then I am really like the swimming pool here, the staff was very nice and introduce sauna equipment for me. Also, hotel have very romantic Arabic restaurants, they operated breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfasts have different kinds of packages, like American style, Arab style and English Style. Lunch is provide International Menu, and dinner time only provide Arabic Menu. At last, it is really a good place to take photos and videos. #newyearadventure #tripblazers

Al Mamzar beach and park is probably the best place for sunbathing in all the United Arab Emirates I have ever seen. It is a small peninsula with many plants, flowers and palm trees and around them are the golden sands of the beaches. It is just right in the border between emirate of Sharjah and Dubai. #beach #sea #gulf If you go to this area I really recommend this place. #happynewyear

THE MIRACLE GARDEN DUBAI The Miracle Garden in Dubai, really amazing! Even Emirates Airlines A380 for you to see it! As long as you think about in a desert, to take care of this more flowers and plants for half a year, it really feels that Dubai is really great! I admire it!

#, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates # Entering the Sharjah Castle Museum, while admiring the traditional architecture, I admire the exquisiteness and grandeur of the handmade products. Built in 1820 by the Al Qasimi family, this magnificent and spectacular two-storey building is now open to visitors as a museum. The precious old photos collected here, the people who came to visit tell the history of Sharjah's nearly 200 years. #Tuscany goes far#

Sand washing is a cost-effective experience project in Dubai. It is very convenient to choose Toyota, and it is directly to the hotel. Around 2:30 pm, the travel society sends a car to pick you up at your designated location, and usually picks up other people along the way. After the staff is connected, they will drive to the desert area of Dubai (Sharjah) for about an hour. Originally thought that it was arrived, the result was found to be a self-funded project, playing beach motorcycles. I forgot the specific price, it looks very expensive, it seems like RMB one hundred and two hundred and thirty minutes. Anyway, you can play without it, but you need to wait for 30 minutes. fasten the seat belt, start sand washing, the driver is very skilled in driving, the car rises and falls along the edge of the sand peak, sometimes a little roller coaster feels weightless, because sitting in the back row is bumpy for me, but still Very fun. After playing the sand, the various teams that washed the sand successively sent people to the camp. Waiting for dinner time, you can watch the sunset, you can also ride camels, Henna painted, smoked smoke, etc. for free. Enjoy a special Arabian dinner here at night, originally did not report any hope, the result is better than expected. However, because there are many people, you may need to line up, but don't worry, everyone has a share. First queue up for pre-dinner snacks, then a "semi-self-service" dinner, meat is distributed by staff, and others can be selected according to preferences. At the same time as dinner, you can watch the performances of Arab artists. Rotating dance, torch dance, belly dance, very exciting! Nearly at 21 o'clock in the evening, after dinner and performance, the driver will send you back to the hotel.

The old city of Sharjah is not too far from the new city. It will be there when you walk. You can finally see some local elements that you want to see. The pores can't help but relax. Here you can see many Islamic houses transformed into traditional houses. With the typical Arabian style, the towering wind tower is the most dazzling. This ventilation design is designed to cope with the high temperature and natural air-conditioned rooms of the summer desert. Due to the dryness and lack of rain in the Arab region, most residential buildings are such flat roofs in order to increase the use of the area. Most of the dwellings have been converted into museums that display the cultural heritage of the Arab world. came to the ticket office of the museum, a majestic face, a white uncle, so quietly sitting, and the passers-by on the street is completely different temperament, this must be the legendary surname Friends, you are really rare to see, can you accept my knees, reward me with your pocket money for a day.

The blue market, also known as the Locomotive Market, is located in Al Zahar ST, one of Sharjah's most important viewing avenues. The name is very vivid and a flamboyant and fascinating look. Closer to see, the decoration of the market is very detailed and beautiful, mosaics and tiles are covered with exterior walls, and the delicate window of Islamic style is pulling up. The outside is magnificent, and the things sold inside are of course not cheap. It is like a jewellery gold carpet. The bosses also greeted us to the store and watched me. Next to the locomotive market is the Al Noor Mosque, which is known as the most beautiful building in the city of Sharjah. There is a small square next to it, workers from India and Pakistan and Southeast Asia. We live here harmoniously, enjoy the coolness brought by this sea breeze, and only nature, we will not treat human beings differently. On the square, you can overlook the new city across the bay. It is also the last egg on the viewing avenue. After reading it, you should go home.

Sharjah is the most easily overlooked place when traveling to Dubai. In fact, there are many great museums there. This time I recommend the Museum of Islamic Civilization. The museum was founded in 1996 and relocated to the Majarrah Waterfront in 2008. The exhibition rooms are divided into two floors, with more than 5,000 cultural relics and exhibits, which are displayed in different exhibition rooms according to different categories. This charming museum is located in the historic center of Sharjah, on the Majarrah Waterfront, which was once a traditional Middle Eastern shopping market. It is the first Islamic cultural museum in the UAE, located in the western part of Sharjah. The exhibition rooms are divided into two floors, and more than 5,000 exquisite artworks from Islamic countries give visitors a systematic understanding of the Islamic world. The main content of the exhibition hall on the first floor is the introduction of the holy places of Islam, some manuscripts of the Quran, ancient Arab science and technology, etc. The second floor is a general introduction to Arab history according to the timeline, from arts and crafts, daily life, trade, military, etc. ❗The popular starry sky ceiling is on the dome on the third floor, which is really beautiful and photogenic!

The hotel stands quietly in the heart of Sharjah, like an elegant nobleman exuding charming charisma. Stepping into the hotel is like stepping into an ancient Arabic history book. It was once the residence of a prominent family in Sharjah, with a century of history embedded in every brick and wooden pillar. The coral peeking through the brick walls seems to tell stories of the past; the palm-woven roof overhead exudes a rustic charm; the vintage wooden doors and windows, with their exquisite patterns, seem to sing ancient songs. The hotel's courtyard is a tranquil oasis, with a tall circular wind tower standing in the center like a loyal guardian. It is the most iconic feature of Arabic architecture and a unique symbol of this ancient residence. Legend has it that the original owner built this prominent circular wind tower to welcome friends from afar, so they could find their way home from a distance. The guest rooms are designed with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing quality and style. The room key is a tassel pendant, a classical decoration loved by Arabs, like a key to a luxurious journey. Inside the room, the wooden carved bed tables display exquisite craftsmanship; the palm leaf roof design makes you feel like you're in an ancient Arabic home. The bathroom fixtures are in an antique gold color, paired with a pebble floor that is both non-slip and massaging, vintage yet elegant. The ultra-luxurious mattress worth tens of thousands allows you to enjoy a comfortable sleep while experiencing the hotel's luxury and care. The soundproof glass on the inside of the wooden windows creates a quiet and private space for guests. The hotel's facilities continue the Arabic vintage style and high quality. The pool becomes a private pool for guests, allowing them to enjoy a leisurely time. The gym is open 24 hours, with water and towels available in both ice and room temperature options, providing thoughtful service. Here, time seems to slow down, and every moment is filled with tranquility and comfort. Whether strolling in the courtyard, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin; resting in the room, enjoying the comfort of luxurious facilities; or relaxing by the pool, admiring the surrounding scenery, you will be captivated and reluctant to leave. Al Bait Sharjah is not just a place to stay, but a sanctuary for the soul, a magical place where you can travel through time and experience the charm of traditional Arabic culture.
