Prices for a vacation in Sharjah
The good news is that a vacation in Sharjah is cheaper than a vacation in nearby Dubai (mainly due to lower accommodation prices). A room in a good four-star hotel here costs an average of 350 AED per night, and if you want to save money you can find a cozy three-star accommodation for 150 AED.
If you're planning a week's vacation for two in Sharjah, you'll have to pay from AED 1,050 for accommodation - much less than in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Travel is also an important expense, starting at AED1,000 for a round-trip flight per person.
The next cost item is food. Here too, a vacation in Sharjah is quite economical. Prices in restaurants and cafes are quite reasonable: about 50-60 AED for lunch in a restaurant and 20 AED in a café.
Cultural program and spending on it depends on your preferences and opportunities. Many tourists take a sightseeing bus tour upon arrival in the city (85 AED) and then go to the museums on their own (3-5 AED per visit).
The most unpredictable item of expenditure on vacation in Sharjah, according to the reviews of experienced tourists, of course, entertainment. And although there is no raucous nightlife with dancing and alcohol, unlike Dubai, a trip to the central market, or a day at the water park, or a stroll through one of the shopping malls is worth it! It's up to you how much you're willing to spend on entertainment.
