Here are some pictures I took of the Sharjah streets while we were driving to Dubai recently.

Along the lagoon

The 'Eye of the Emirates' ferris wheel
- seems to be withstanding the heat better than the Southern Star did -

Sharjah City Centre
- one of the many shopping malls I have been frequenting -

Waiting for the bus

One of the hundreds of mosques among the apartment buildings
- they serve as a great wake-up alarm system -

Yep, they have McDonalds here too

Central Souk
- Sharjah is especially popular for its souks (markets) -

Random buildings and shops

More random

I think this car was heading to the Bird and Animal Souk

Boats on the lagoon

Whenever I see Vimto (which is often over here) it reminds me of Amelia and Tanyth
So jealous of your traveling!
ReplyDeletei love that you can just say ''..oh on the wait to Dubai".. like its a normal occasion.
ReplyDeleteblah. what fun!!
Haha, we drive to Dubai a couple of times a week usually - it's about 20 mins away - so it has become quite normal. You generally don't even notice when you cross the border, it's just like driving to another suburb back home.
