Would I have visited Sharjah longer? The honest answer, no - for the simple reason that the city is very short on hotels. The few hotels that do exist are expensive. Funnily, the airport hotel (half a km from SHJ) was one of the cheapest at only $37 USD per night, despite having zero competition.

The UAE also puts the lie to a lot of /pol/ talk, becaus here you can see how assorted browns, blacks and mystery meats can live in a prosperous, orderly and harmonious society.
