Ferry to Sharjah

I wanted to explore Sharjah, a city slightly north and was happy to discover that the Dubai ferry leaves from the Dubai Creek area near several metro stations. It travels to Sharjah in a quick 35 minute trip. These work-arounds help to speed my travels.

The ferry was spacious and smooth with a small cafe for coffee and treats. The trip was interesting as it showed me a completely different view of the UAE from the water.

The ferry docked at the transport center beside the Sharjah Aquarium and Maritime Museum. But I thought I’d save those two museums for later on in the afternoon, possibly on my way back to Dubai. I wanted to see the some of the souks, the Sharjah Art Museum, the Museum of Calligraphy, the Heritage Museum and the Museum of  Islamic Civilization. I know - a lot to take in for one day.
