What is the main difference between Sharjah and other emirates?

Sharjah is the cultural capital of the UAE and the entire Arab world. Exhibitions, concerts of world-famous musicians, and festivals are always held here. In addition, the uniqueness of the emirate lies in the fact that it has access to two coasts of the Persian Gulf: the Persian Gulf in the west and Oman in the east.
The east coast is noticeably different from the usual seaside image of the Emirates. There will be no skyscrapers on the horizon, only endless seas and mountains. If you are looking for attractive scenery, consider staying in the Kalba or Khorfakkan area. From here you can climb to the Al Suhoub viewpoint or have a picnic at the rest pavilion near the scenic Al Rafisa Dam.
