Staying in an Arabian tycoon's ancient mansion, sleeping on a mattress worth 100,000 is truly blissful

Sharjah may not be the largest emirate in the UAE, but it retains the most complete Arabian historical culture. This protection and inheritance permeate every aspect, subtly influencing everything around. This time, staying at The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah, a resort hotel transformed from the ancient mansion of one of Sharjah's four wealthiest families. Outside the door is a bustling market, and through an inconspicuous alley, you find another tranquil world. 🏨Al Bait means 'home'. This radiant 'home' located in the heart of Sharjah is a precious historical conservation artifact in itself, constructed mainly of wood and rammed earth, exuding a sense of history with ever-changing light and shadows at different times, and a dreamy light at night, making one feel as if they are in another era. 🕌️The circular wind tower outside the reception area is said to be the oldest in the UAE and has become a symbol of the hotel. The guest area is in another secluded space, with high walls in the corridors leading to a serene path. The second floor also has connecting aerial corridors; though not large, they resemble a maze, and it's easy to get lost when first arriving, adding to the sense of mystery. 🛏️The hotel has a total of 53 rooms, each blending Arabian style with a holiday vibe, and each one is unique. The original layout of the old building is preserved, and restored to its former state. With wooden ceilings, woven grass murals, wooden furniture, and a hundred percent Middle Eastern exotic atmosphere. The bath amenities are from the Italian national treasure brand 'Acqua di Parma', and the mattresses are the same as those used in sailboat hotels, said to be worth 100,000, and whether it's psychological or not, they provide an incredibly good night's sleep. 🏊‍♀️Although it is a renovated old house, the facilities are very complete, with a swimming pool, SPA, and fitness center hidden in different corners, forming unique scenery. There's even a library open only to guests, telling the family's past with artifacts. 🍴The full-service restaurant, The restaurant, offers a chance to bask in the morning sun in the courtyard, and over three days, I tried Arabian, American, and Indian breakfasts, each completely different and satisfyingly delicious. The Chinese dinner and other meals here also have their own characteristics, highly recommended. Because it's right in the heart of Sharjah, you can walk to various museums, mosques, and markets, easily exploring Sharjah's historical and cultural heritage.

Staycation of The Chedi Ai Bait Sharjah, UAE

Al Mamzar beach and park is probably the best place for sunbathing in all the United Arab Emirates I have ever seen. It is a small peninsula with many plants, flowers and palm trees and around them are the golden sands of the beaches. It is just right in the border between emirate of Sharjah and Dubai. #beach #sea #gulf If you go to this area I really recommend this place. #happynewyear

THE MIRACLE GARDEN DUBAI The Miracle Garden in Dubai, really amazing! Even Emirates Airlines A380 for you to see it! As long as you think about in a desert, to take care of this more flowers and plants for half a year, it really feels that Dubai is really great! I admire it!

#, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates # Entering the Sharjah Castle Museum, while admiring the traditional architecture, I admire the exquisiteness and grandeur of the handmade products. Built in 1820 by the Al Qasimi family, this magnificent and spectacular two-storey building is now open to visitors as a museum. The precious old photos collected here, the people who came to visit tell the history of Sharjah's nearly 200 years. #Tuscany goes far#

Sand washing is a cost-effective experience project in Dubai. It is very convenient to choose Toyota, and it is directly to the hotel. Around 2:30 pm, the travel society sends a car to pick you up at your designated location, and usually picks up other people along the way. After the staff is connected, they will drive to the desert area of Dubai (Sharjah) for about an hour. Originally thought that it was arrived, the result was found to be a self-funded project, playing beach motorcycles. I forgot the specific price, it looks very expensive, it seems like RMB one hundred and two hundred and thirty minutes. Anyway, you can play without it, but you need to wait for 30 minutes. fasten the seat belt, start sand washing, the driver is very skilled in driving, the car rises and falls along the edge of the sand peak, sometimes a little roller coaster feels weightless, because sitting in the back row is bumpy for me, but still Very fun. After playing the sand, the various teams that washed the sand successively sent people to the camp. Waiting for dinner time, you can watch the sunset, you can also ride camels, Henna painted, smoked smoke, etc. for free. Enjoy a special Arabian dinner here at night, originally did not report any hope, the result is better than expected. However, because there are many people, you may need to line up, but don't worry, everyone has a share. First queue up for pre-dinner snacks, then a "semi-self-service" dinner, meat is distributed by staff, and others can be selected according to preferences. At the same time as dinner, you can watch the performances of Arab artists. Rotating dance, torch dance, belly dance, very exciting! Nearly at 21 o'clock in the evening, after dinner and performance, the driver will send you back to the hotel.

The old city of Sharjah is not too far from the new city. It will be there when you walk. You can finally see some local elements that you want to see. The pores can't help but relax. Here you can see many Islamic houses transformed into traditional houses. With the typical Arabian style, the towering wind tower is the most dazzling. This ventilation design is designed to cope with the high temperature and natural air-conditioned rooms of the summer desert. Due to the dryness and lack of rain in the Arab region, most residential buildings are such flat roofs in order to increase the use of the area. Most of the dwellings have been converted into museums that display the cultural heritage of the Arab world. came to the ticket office of the museum, a majestic face, a white uncle, so quietly sitting, and the passers-by on the street is completely different temperament, this must be the legendary surname Friends, you are really rare to see, can you accept my knees, reward me with your pocket money for a day.

The blue market, also known as the Locomotive Market, is located in Al Zahar ST, one of Sharjah's most important viewing avenues. The name is very vivid and a flamboyant and fascinating look. Closer to see, the decoration of the market is very detailed and beautiful, mosaics and tiles are covered with exterior walls, and the delicate window of Islamic style is pulling up. The outside is magnificent, and the things sold inside are of course not cheap. It is like a jewellery gold carpet. The bosses also greeted us to the store and watched me. Next to the locomotive market is the Al Noor Mosque, which is known as the most beautiful building in the city of Sharjah. There is a small square next to it, workers from India and Pakistan and Southeast Asia. We live here harmoniously, enjoy the coolness brought by this sea breeze, and only nature, we will not treat human beings differently. On the square, you can overlook the new city across the bay. It is also the last egg on the viewing avenue. After reading it, you should go home.

📚 Store that full of stuff

#urbanwanderings Jarir Bookstore is a store that not just full of books, but also full of electronic goods, phone case and protector, computer goods and even there are toys on the second floor. I was wandering around the Riyadh Olya, Saudi Arabia alone and was expecting to see more high rise building, and I came into this amazing bookstore here by the middle of the road!

An owesome visit to the museum ❤️

#travelchecklist A museum located in the Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Opened in 2008, the museum covers Islamic culture and collects more than 5,000 cultural relics from the Islamic world. Items include calligraphy, carvings, ceramics, coins, glass, manuscripts, metal products and scientific instruments. Formerly known as the Islamic Museum, it opened in 1996 and was later relocated and relocated in the current building. The starry sky on the top floor of the museum is indeed very shocking, showing the Arab worship of the moon and stars. The architecture of the whole museum is also in Islamic style, and the exhibits cover the mathematics, astronomy, physics, medicine, religion, art and other aspects of Islamic civilization. Friends who want to study Islamic civilization can reserve time to have a look, and the whole museum can be visited slowly. However, the cultural and creative aspects are very ordinary. I feel that the whole museum has not kept pace with the times. Except for some books, there are almost no high-quality peripheral products to buy in the museum store, which is a pity. In general, this museum is still worth taking a closer look. Don't miss it if you travel to Sharjah.
