Almost there - our new audio walking tour of old Sharjah

We are almost there

We are just tweaking In search of pearl merchants and palm trees in Sharjah, the new tour that we have developed in conjunction with  VoiceMap. There is currently one tricky place that is temporarily closed due to government health regulations, but don’t worry, the stories will all still be there.

at Bait Al Naboodah. We are almost finished

Only 1 more test to go, and then we can confirm that the new instructions work seamlessly for the independent traveller out to explore the UAE.

What’s to discover on our audio walking tour?

Sharjah prides itself on being the steady-as-she-goes emirate, but don’t let that dissuade you. It is confident, worldly, multi-dimensional, interesting, and definitely less noisy than its cousin down the road a little west from here.

Get ready to join me on a wander down shaded laneways and in and out of old houses and new spaces, as together we will explore what remains of an old part of town. There are houses and mosques, museums and galleries, palm trees and pearl merchants, all waiting for you.

There are also plenty of places to stop on the way, if you want to find yourself a comfy cushion, order an Arabic coffee or a cool lime and mint juice. After all, it’s your time off, so enjoy.
