Sharjah, the cultural capital of the Arab world and my home for more than 20 years. It is rich in history and art, has warm and welcoming people retaining the Islamic traditions and value. Sharjah also offers great dining around the city. From luxury dining to casual and street food, there are always great offers for family and friends to enjoy!
One of my luxurious experience was at The Arabic Restaurant, Al Bait.
A fascinating hotel, Al Bait raises the bar for the luxury hotel scene in Sharjah. Preserving the majority of the traditional houses in the area which were exclusively chosen to build and shape the hotel. These houses have the names of its original owners and rooms so as to highlight the environment and lifestyle of the Emiratis who lived in these houses in the past.
Al Bait is also home to four restaurants, we settled for The Arabic Restaurant which probably offers the most luxurious Iftar in Sharjah. It was a spread of buffet along with table service of hot main courses, bread, and desserts. The quality of food was exceptional and so was the service.
Iftar buffet at Arabic Restaurant
Price: AED 235 per person or for groups of 20 and above AED 195 per person. Children below age 10 go free.
One of the other luxurious Iftars I had in 2018 was at Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort and Spa. You can read my experience here – Iftar at Sheraton. It is back this year!

Sharjah Casual Dining
Besides the luxury dining options, there’s plenty of casual dining located at the Majaz Waterfront with pretty lagoon views which one cannot miss. It’s home to the Sharjah Fountain, where an impressive sound-and-light show attracts huge crowds during the evening. Some of the favorites that I visit regularly are
