Cruises from Sharjah

Sharjah is the third largest of the seven states that form the United Arab Emirates. The settlement of Sharjah dates back some 6,000 years when it is believed to have been called Sarcoa. The population was small and people relied on trade and sea faring in addition to farming, hunting, fishing and pearling. Many of the early settlements were based around the ‘falaj’, a man-made underground water course.
