Tour of Islamic history and culture. One of the major attractions to photographers is the distinctive King Faisal Mosque built to honor King Faisal of Saudi Arabia that currently is the largest mosque in the Emirates. En route we continue towards the renovated Fort of Sharjah, former residence of the ruling family originally built in 1820, followed by the authentic 150-year-old ‘Al Nabooddah House', the museum for cultural heritage. Exploring the myriad images of Arabia, we take a quick stroll to the adjacent souks` of 'Al Arsa' and to the 'Majarrah Souk' will take you to our next venue which is the distinguished Souk 'Al Markazi' – a treasure trove of Persian carpets, souvenirs, jewellery and handicrafts.
