About this activity
Explore two neighboring emirates in a single 5-hour excursion from Port Rashid, discovering Sharjah's cultural landmarks and Ajman's coastal charm. This guided tour reveals authentic Emirati heritage through historic souks, museums, and traditional architecture—ideal for cruise passengers with limited time.
Sharjah is the third largest emirate among the seven that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The city of Sharjah is larger than its neighboring city, Dubai, with coastlines on both sides of the peninsula. On the other hand, Ajman is one of the smallest emirates in the country, making it one of the most picturesque ones.
The Sharjah and Ajman emirates are briefly introduced on this half-day city tour from Dubai. Visit the most popular attractions, Al Majarrah souk, Sharjah Museum, Blue souk, and Ajman. It is the best way to learn about Emirati traditions, culture, history, and arts.
