UAE MAPS - SHARJAH
The Emirate of Sharjah extends along approximately 16 kilometres of the UAE's Gulf coastline, and for more than 80 kilometres into the interior. In addition there are three enclaves belonging to Sharjah situated on the East Coast, bordering the Gulf of Oman. These are Kalba, Khor Fakkan and Dibba al-Husn. The emirate has an area of 2,590 square kilometres, which is equivalent to 3.3 per cent of the country’s total area, excluding the islands.
The capital city of Sharjah overlooks the Arabian Gulf and contains the main administrative and commercial centres together with an especially impressive array of cultural and traditional projects. Distinctive landmarks of the city are the two major covered suqs, both reflecting Islamic design, a number of recreational areas and public parks, Sharjah International Airport and Port Khalid.
