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 Riyadh
Riyadh is spread over a wide area, so choosing a few linked stops works better than trying to cross it repeatedly. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress introduce different periods of Saudi history; Diriyah, west of the centre, shows Najdi building traditions. Kingdom Centre supplies a city view. King Khalid International Airport is north of town, and the Yellow metro line gives some travellers an alternative to the road trip.

What's new in Riyadh
- January 2026: The redeveloped International Terminal 2 opened at King Khalid Airport, completing the Terminals 1 and 2 improvement project.
- February 2026: Airport operations were reassigned, putting foreign international airlines in Terminal 5 and changing the arrival point for many overseas travellers.
Tips for travellers from India
Olaya is useful for a stay centred on offices and Kingdom Centre, while Diriyah requires a separate western excursion. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress belong to the older southern part of Riyadh, so grouping them reduces repeated cross-city transfers. The Yellow metro line provides an airport link, but a final interchange or road connection may still be necessary for the hotel.
Airport terminal advice published before February 2026 can point passengers to the wrong building. Match the airline’s updated terminal to the relevant metro stop or taxi destination. Terminals 1 and 2 handle Saudi carriers’ international operations; Terminals 3 and 4 serve their domestic flights. A domestic connection can therefore involve a change of building even when the same carrier operates both legs. Diriyah’s At-Turaif heritage area and dining district have their own booking arrangements, so select the intended attraction rather than assuming one admission covers the entire development. Plan the outdoor heritage visit separately from an indoor National Museum afternoon.
Best time to visit Riyadh
November to March, roughly 10–28°C, for outdoor districts.
