People Are LEAVING DUBAI To Live Here. Is This Emirate THE FUTURE of the UAE? | New Sharjah

Today, I am visiting Sharjah one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. In my experience Sharjah does not have the best reputation amongst expats but this experience might change your mind.

    Sharjah has been my favourite city since I was six years old visiting my mom's side of the family. Sharjah is only a new discovery for Western expats. It's a beautiful, family-oriented old city ruled by a more conservative and welcoming Sheikh. It's also a UNESCO-protected city (hence why it's the greenest city in the UAE). You can literally walk around at 3 am and feel completely safe.

    Sharja to Dubai is roughly 30 minutes apart, in my part of South London it could take 45 minutes to drive from my house to Tesco which is under 1 mile away (thanks to “low traffic neighbourhood” schemes killing london)

    Basically each emirate provides something different. Dubai is more international, touristic, consumer friendly. Abu Dhabi is very pro scientific and AI research. Sharjah is the family and conservatism hub. Ras Al Khaima is for resorts and casinos now.

    I like the fact that Dubai has a low tax rate and in general the UAE but the fact that is one of the most misogynistic countries out there I would think it twice. I think women were allowed to vote just in 2006. Women are forced to cover themselves in such a hot weather. I just can't and I don't understand why women would like to move there. I'm a woman and I will never.
