Sharjah is expecting a rise in local tourism with its latest attraction – a mountain resort situated 580 metres above sea level in Khorfakkan that highlights a 360-degree view of its surroundings.
Famed as a cultural hotspot for its museums, art exhibitions and many cultural activities, Sharjah is also investing in tourism sites to attract global visitors and the latest one is set to open its doors this year of the Al Suhub Rest House during Eid Al Adha.
