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 Madras
Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.

Tips for travellers
For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.
The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.
Best time to visit Madras
November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.
