Lonely Planet review for Souq al-Arsa

Back in the 19th century, Sharjah’s ‘who’s who’ lived just inland from the Corniche, between Burj Ave and Al-Maraija Rd, today’s so-called Heritage Area. Many of the beautiful residences have been authentically restored using traditional materials such as sea rock, coral and gypsum. Just take an aimless wander through this labyrinthine quarter to come upon the atmospheric Souq al-Arsa, the oldest souq in the UAE. The traditional coffeehouse inside is a great stop for a reviving mint tea and plate of dates.
