Reviews of beach vacations in Sharjah
In addition to the Muslim rules and laws of the country, the emirate has its own, stricter prohibitions. They concern the drinking of alcohol, the dress code on the beach and in the city. Here it is not accepted:
- sunbathing topless;
- appear on the shore in short bathing trunks and open swimsuits;
- to walk around town in shorts and overt dresses;
- Taking pictures of women, mosque interiors, and worshippers;
- showing affection in public.
Sharjah has public free beaches and private beaches owned by hotels. They are all covered with clean sand. The water entry is gentle and there are no potholes or rocks at the bottom. Where jet skis are allowed, the bathing areas are fenced off. On Mondays it is ladies’ day on the Emirate’s beaches, and no men are allowed in.
Between Dubai and Sharjah lies the popular Al Khan beach. It has its own lifeguard station, restaurants, cafes, stores and a playground for children. The lagoon is quiet and deserted on weekdays and in the mornings. But on weekends, so many locals come to the beach that it can be hard to find a free spot.

According to tourist reviews, holidays in Sharjah are good at the wide public beach of Al Corniche . It is close to the city center, so it is crowded on any given day. Keep in mind that there are sometimes dangerous undercurrents near Al Corniche – look out for the warning signs on the beach.
Another great beach at Al Sharik stretches from the Sheraton Hotel to a small cove that borders Al Corniche Lagoon. The sea is calm because of the breakwaters and parents with children come here.
The Haur Fakkan is also a good spot for a beach holiday in Sharjah. The rich underwater world and picturesque coral reefs attract beginners divers and professional divers.
Tip . Dress appropriately before heading into town or onto the beach.

Because of Sharjah’s strict mores, there are no hostels in Sharjah. Most hotels were built 30-35 years ago, when the coast was not yet a tourist boom. It is not difficult to find inexpensive accommodation within a five-minute walk of the beach. A room for two in a 1*-2* gesthouse or hotel costs $25-35. Staying prices in 3* and 4* hotels start at $40. A night in a comfortable 5* hotel will cost $ 90-100 and above.
