Looking into transit info for Sharjah

Hello all,I will be in Iran in October and want to fly to Kathmandu from Shiraz with transit in Sharjah.
I am Canadian and was wandering what are the visa/transit rules ?
Am I allow in or just in Transit,can I get out to an hotel for overnight,ect...
Will be flying with Air Arabia
Thanks

Canadian passports get visa on arrival at airports in the UAE. You should have no problem in crossing through immigration out to your hotel before you take the next flight out to Kathmandu.

Great thank you.
Now I just have to find a nice hotel that ain't to expensive,or maybe Air Arabia supplies room if you connect to another of there flight.

Any not too expensive hotel with good standards you could point me thruward .
I get in around 15:30 and leave next morning At 7:20,so i need minimum international TV,A/C,decent restaurant at the hotel or close buy and decent bed with a private toilet/shower,wifi would be appreciated .
TV and wifi mostly to kill time,unless there are things to do around.
Once again thx

P.S. If i need to I will pay,but rather stay modest if possible.

Air Arabia is a low cost airline and won't provide free accommodation for the time between connecting flights. You should make your own arrangements if connecting time cannot be conveniently spent strolling about the airport. Sharjah is a boring airport anyway.

@ Michelholi - The visa laws for Canadians have changed. Canadian visitors now require a visa before they come to Dubai. So, please check with your airline or local UAE consulate. Travelers have known to be stranded at the airport because the immigration didn't let them in. if you're coming from Iran to Sharjah, I suspect you're looking at coming by boat - you should check if the visa regulations are different when arriving by boat.

Regarding accomodation, you can check out the youth hostel in Sharjah for info. Google it for details. The one in Dubai is www.uaeyha.com

Peace and Love :)

Thanks #5 but I have changed my plans.
I now will go through Turkey,it easier.
