Destination & City Travel Guide
About Sharjah
Sharjah gives a visitor two distinct walks: the lanes and courtyards of the Heart of Sharjah, and the waterfront near the Museum of Islamic Civilization. Souq Al Arsah and the Central Souk offer different views of trading life, while the art spaces reward more time than a quick airport stop allows. The emirate is close to Dubai, yet its older districts and cultural institutions give it a separate reason to travel from India.

What's new in Sharjah
- February 2026: Al Dhaid Wildlife Museum opened at its new site beside Souq Sharia’t Al Dhaid, adding an interactive desert ecology stop to an inland day trip.
- February 2026: The restored Al Mudarissa Tower opened in Al Dhaid, giving visitors access to another part of the oasis town’s defensive heritage.
Tips for travellers from India
Choose a base near the Heart of Sharjah if the Art Museum, Souq Al Arsah and old trading houses are the priority. Al Majaz suits evenings beside Khalid Lagoon, but it places the heritage quarter on a separate taxi route. The orange Muwasalat buses connect the airport with urban stops; a hotel on the lagoon may still require an onward ride. Treat a trip into Dubai as a separate outing because the inter-emirate commute can consume much of a short stay.
Sharjah Archaeology Museum and the neighbouring Science Museum are in Halwan, away from the creekside museum cluster. Pair these two rather than crossing town between every gallery. Mleiha and Al Dhaid belong to the emirate’s inland region and require a road excursion, not an extension of a central walking route. The Central Souk and Souq Al Arsah also offer different shopping settings: the former is a substantial market building, while the latter fits naturally into a Heart of Sharjah walk.
Best time to visit Sharjah
November to March, roughly 18–30°C, for waterfront walks and outdoor souks.

About Colombo
Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.
Read more about Colombo
Tips for travellers from India
Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.
Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.
Best time to visit Colombo
December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.
