Try the most Luxurious Hotels in Sharjah

United Arab Emirates is a federation that is made up of seven emirates and is located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf. The third largest emirate of all the seven is Sharjah and is the only one to have land both on the Gulf of Oman as well as the Persian Gulf coast. Situated right next to Dubai, it often shares its traffic and rush hour jams. Most of the expatriates live in Sharjah and work in Dubai as living rates in Sharjah are effectively cheaper as compared to the metropolis that is Dubai. As a tourist location, Sharjah has some very good museums to offer along with great art galleries. Sharjah Hotels are comparatively cheaper to stay and offer the same kind of amenities to the tourists. There are quite a few hotels that allow the tourists to splurge but the majority of the hotels are medium cost-wise.

Spend your vacations at the posh Ras Al Khaimah:

One of the emirates that is located at the north end of the coast of the Arabian Gulf is Ras Al Kamiah. Nestled between a mountain range on one side and the Persian Gulf on the other, it is a growing and peaceful tourist hub where most of the visitors come to relax, cool off their heels and take a small break from the hectic work life. With pristine white beach and clear blue skies shining down, Ras Al Kamiah has beautiful dunes and great sanctuaries along with the beautiful Haj jar Mountain Range. Ras Al Khaimah hotels are cheap to live in and are available across the year. There is so much to do for the tourists in the emirate. People can fish, go along the beaches, relax, enjoy desert safaris, visit the camel race track, do mountain climbing, go fishing etc.

Why Fujairah hotels are the main tourist attraction:

On the extreme eastern parts of the United Arab Emirates lies the emirate of Fujairah. The youngest of all, after being separated from Sharjah in 1952 and is the only emirate that does not have a coastline along the Persian Gulf. About two hours from Dubai, Fujairah has very limited things to do for the tourists and is generally visited only by travelers who are visiting the emirate on business purposes. Fujairah is a business city and lacks the glitzy aura that the other United Arab Emirate city have and the only tourist attraction the city is the fort that is located just outside the city and although it is very close to the Indian Ocean, the parts of it are not suitable for swimming and hence are mostly avoided. Fujairah Hotels being used to business travelers are often costly and are combined with high-end clubs.

Top Ras al khaimah hotels

Ras al khaimah(also known as RAK) is one of the Persian Gulf Arab sheikhdoms forming the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Its name means "Top of the Tent".

The emirate had a population of 210,063 at the 2005 Census, of which 41.82 percent or 87,848 were Emirati citizens.

The city has two main sections, Old RAK and Nakheel, on either side of a creek. It is served by the RAK International Airport and RAK hotels which are comparable to Sharjah hotels.
