Touching borders with every other emirate of the UAE and boasting two very special coastlines, the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the emirate of Sharjah is the third most populated emirate and its exceptionally diverse terrain means that the emirate is home to beautiful natural landscapes made up of mountains, lush valleys and sparkling seas, alongside the city’s iconic architecture. The Sharjah Creek is one of the most interesting places to visit. The Creek is the old lifeline of Sharjah, and the main reason for the first settlement. Within the sheltered creek, the early residents found safe anchorage and the presence of fresh water in trapped lenses close to the surface along shoreline. The overall distance of the Sharjah Creek is approximately 3,5 km, and the walkable distance on the promenade at Corniche Street all along the waterside, is currently ca. 2 km.
