You know what you need after a four-day break, don’t you? Yes, you got it, another break and these staycations at these four historical beauties in the Emirate of Sharjah are just the ticket.
You might not be ready for a break just yet but that’s okay as these staycations are available all summer long.

We don’t usually direct people away from Abu Dhabi, but book any of these four summer staycations and you’ll be getting a window into the UAE’s incredibly fascinating heritage and Sharjah’s diverse natural landscape, giving you insight to a side of the UAE you may not have experienced before.
These staycations packages perfectly meld luxury and heritage within the UAE’s natural landscape. So, let’s take a look at what’s on offer.
