Sharjah's Hidden Gem: Al Sharq Suites Hotel - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I've just emerged from a stay at Al Sharq Suites Hotel in Sharjah, and let me tell you, it was… an experience. Not just a stay, honey, but an experience. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter hotel reviews. This is the real deal, unfiltered, messy, and completely, utterly me. So, grab your coffee (or, you know, a stiff drink, no judgement here) and let’s dive in.
The Hook: Sharjah's Hidden Gem? More Like a Sparkling Diamond in the Rough!
Okay, let's be honest: Sharjah doesn't exactly scream "luxury getaway" at first glance. But Al Sharq Suites? Whoa. It’s tucked away like a secret, and trust me, once you find it, you'll want to keep it all to yourself. Think of it as your own personal oasis of chill in the Emirates.
Accessibility: Navigating Bliss (Mostly!)
Right off the bat, a big thumbs up for accessibility. Wheelchair accessible? Absolutely! Elevators, ramps, the whole shebang. Finding my way around was smooth sailing. The hotel really seems to care about making everyone feel welcome. Plus, Facilities for disabled guests are clearly marked. Accessibility to the rest of the city isn't as smooth as it could be. You might have trouble if you're not used to driving, renting a car, or taking a taxi.
Cleanliness and Safety: Breathe Easy (Seriously!)
I'm a total germaphobe, so this was HUGE for me. Al Sharq Suites clearly takes cleanliness seriously. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. I'm not sure how much of that was marketing, but even better, the Staff trained in safety protocol were the real deal, not just going through the motions. The constant presence of things like Hand sanitizer were a welcome sight. I felt safe. Like, really safe. And in today's world, that’s priceless. Hygiene certification is a plus. The Safe dining setup really did help.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Breakfast Buffets to Midnight Munchies
Alright, let's talk food. First off, the Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. So, you know, your mileage may vary depending on your buffet preferences. I went for the Asian option, but the Western breakfast also looked tasty. The Asian breakfast was what I actually had, and it was good, but not amazing. The A la carte in restaurant was good. I'm not a huge fan of Coffee/tea in restaurant but it was good.
The Room service [24-hour]?! Pure bliss. Midnight cravings? Sorted. That salad, the Salad in restaurant, I had? I'm still dreaming about it. The Snack bar saved me. The Poolside bar was perfect for sipping cocktails and pretending I was a Hollywood starlet (which I, naturally, am). And yes, there's a Vegetarian restaurant. They also had a Western cuisine in restaurant. Soup in restaurant was pretty good.
My One Love Affair: The Spa (And My Deep Tissue Massage)
Now, let's get to the real reason why I'm raving about this place: the spa. Oh. Em. Gee. The Spa/sauna was a slice of heaven, but the Spa was it. I had a Massage – the best damn deep tissue massage of my life. I'm talking knots that had been festering for years, gone. Poof! Vanished! I was a puddle of pure, unadulterated relaxation afterward. I may have even drooled a little. The Foot bath alone was worth the price of admission. The Steamroom was an experience but I hated it. It was also pretty cool to get a Body scrub, but it was just a bit much. Then the Body wrap was an experience. So many things to love about the Steamroom.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Beyond the Bed and Breakfast
Beyond stuffing my face and getting pummeled into submission by a masseuse (in the best way possible), Al Sharq offers a ton of options to unwind. The Swimming pool [outdoor] was gorgeous, crystal-clear water with a view that made me want to stay there forever. The Pool with view was pretty awesome. Then you can relax in the Sauna. If you’re feeling energetic, there's a pretty good Fitness center (yup, I checked it out, even though I'd rather be horizontally challenged). There's also things like the Gym/fitness to have fun with.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Everything!
Okay, the list is long, but here's a taste of the extras that made Al Sharq so damn comfortable: 24-hour front desk, so you never feel stranded. Luggage storage? Check. Concierge? Helpful and friendly. Dry cleaning and Laundry service (because I am a diva, after all). Elevator? Essential. Babysitting service (for those with tiny human companions). Car park [free of charge] (major win!). The Gift/souvenir shop tempted me. And a Coffee shop!
Rooms: Your Personal Sanctuary
My room? Oh, honey, it was a dream. Air conditioning, obviously (this is the desert, people!). Blackout curtains? Yes, please. A giant, comfy Extra long bed? Absolutely. A Seating area perfect for lounging with a book? Check. The Bathroom was amazing, with a Separate shower/bathtub and Toiletries that smelled divine. I loved my Bathrobes and Slippers. The Mini bar was stocked, the Complimentary tea was a nice touch, and the Free bottled water was a lifesaver. The Wi-Fi [free] worked perfectly. (I'm a blogger, people. Internet is essential.) Oh, and the View? Breathtaking. Truly.
For the Kids: Fun for the Whole Fam
Al Sharq Suites is Family/child friendly. There are Kids facilities, and although I don't have any of my own, I saw plenty of happy little faces around the pool.
Business Traveler? (Maybe!)
They've got you covered with Meeting/banquet facilities, Business facilities, and all the tech you need. They also have Meetings for special events. So basically, if you have a meeting, a banquet, or a conference, you're solid. They also have Seminars and can host special kinds of things.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
Airport transfer? Yep. Car park [on-site]? Naturally. Taxi service? Always available. Valet parking? The works.
The Small Niggles (Because Perfection Doesn't Exist, Sadly)
Okay, real talk: no place is perfect. The internet was sometimes spotty, but it was never a deal-breaker. Also, the coffee in the main restaurant could use a little improvement. But honestly, those are minor quibbles.
The Verdict: Book It! Now!
Seriously, stop reading this and book your stay at Al Sharq Suites right now. It’s the perfect getaway, a little oasis of luxury perfectly located in the heart of it all. It strikes the perfect balance of pampering, comfort, and convenience. And if you get a deep tissue massage at the spa? You're welcome. You'll thank me later.

Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because this isn't your average travel itinerary. This is a chaotic, emotional, and probably ill-advised adventure through the hallowed halls (and possibly questionable plumbing) of the Al Sharq Suites Hotel in Sharjah. Consider yourself warned.
Day 1: Arrival and Initial Panic (aka "Where's the Wi-Fi?!")
10:00 AM (ish): Arrive at the Sharjah International Airport, bleary-eyed and smelling vaguely of stale airplane air. The taxi ride to Al Sharq Suites is a blur of sand-colored buildings and aggressive horn-honking. I swear, every car here is powered by sheer volume and a healthy dose of road rage.
10:45 AM: Check-in at the hotel. The lobby is…well, let's call it "grand" in the way a slightly dusty wedding cake is grand. Chandeliers that could probably feed a small city with their wattage hang from the ceiling. The guy at the front desk is impeccably polite, and probably just trying to survive my impending mental breakdown.
11:00 AM: Unpack. Or, more accurately, attempt to unpack. I've got the wrong suitcase (story for another day), and half my clothes are crumpled. The room itself is… surprisingly spacious. The view? Not the Burj Khalifa, but hey, it's something! (It's a parking lot, but I'm trying to be positive).
11:30 AM: The quest for Wi-Fi begins! This is crucial. Without it, I’m basically a cave-dwelling hermit. After a minor (okay, major) meltdown involving a faulty router and a lot of frantic searching, I finally connect. Victory is mine!
12:30 PM: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. It looks fancy, but I'm starving and overwhelmed. I order something that sounds vaguely familiar on the menu. It turns out to be… well, it's food. It's edible. And the waiter is genuinely charming, which almost redeems the slightly beige experience. He asks how I'm doing and whether I'm enjoying the experience. I give him the most genuine smile I can and respond: "I love it. I am trying to have a good time."
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Poolside shenanigans. The pool is a sparkling oasis… until I realize I forgot my sunscreen. Rookie mistake! I spend two hours alternating between enjoying the sun (slightly) and frantically applying what little moisturizer and aloe vera I have left. Sunburn is coming, I can feel it. I'm also fairly certain I saw a pigeon drinking from the pool. Welcome to luxury, everyone!
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Nap time! This is non-negotiable. Jet lag is a cruel mistress, and I'm fighting a losing battle. I set an alarm, but let's be honest, it never works. I wake up to the light of the setting sun.
6:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. I try a local seafood dish, which is surprisingly delicious, even though I'm pretty sure I ate a rogue seaweed creature. The bustling atmosphere is refreshing after the quiet of the hotel. The locals are incredibly friendly, and every third person I talk to immediately offers me a cup of hot tea (which I accept gratefully).
8:00 PM: Wandering, mostly aimlessly, through a nearby market. I buy a scarf that's probably fake, but I don't care. It's colorful and reminds me of the vibrant chaos of the place. It's a perfect little souvenir.
9:00 PM: Back to the hotel. A quick, cold shower (the hot water is still playing hide-and-seek) and then collapse into bed. My brain is a scrambled egg, and my body feels like it's been run over by a camel. (They're around. I saw one. It was majestic in a grumpy way).
10:00 PM: Attempt to organize photos and write in my journal. Fail spectacularly, just before passing out.
Day 2: Culture Shock and Coffee
8:00 AM: Wake up, groggy and slightly disoriented. The memory of the sunset comes back and I feel motivated to make it to the next day. This time I get up early to catch the sunrise.
9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. The spread is impressive, a wide array of pastries and fruit. I go for the eggs and hash browns and try to act like a functioning adult.
10:00 AM: Visit the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization. It's… fascinating, and I'm blown away by the intricate and beautiful artifacts. I'm also probably slightly underdressed (my fault). I spend hours getting lost in the history and beauty. The quiet of the museum is a welcome change from the energy of the streets. I also learned more about the history. I love history.
1:00 PM: Lunch at a local cafe. I keep trying to order coffee, but the language barrier is causing some problems. The waiter and I get stuck in a ridiculous back-and-forth about whether or not I want a "regular" coffee. It eventually turns into a shared laugh and a wonderfully strong, delicious cup of, yes, "regular" coffee. This is now one of the most important event of the day. It's the type of coffee that has the energy to go and do something.
2:00 PM: Back to the hotel. I'm tired from all the walking, plus my brain feels like it's overflowing with new information. I might need a new brain. A quick shower, and then… the dreaded hotel room. I don't know what else to do. This is where I write.
5:00 PM: A local market. This time, I know not to buy a fake Rolex, and I'm not sure what happens on the next day.
7:00 PM: Dinner. I try something new. This time I try a dish, and I can barely contain my glee. It's incredibly tasty.
9:00 PM: Bed. I'm exhausted.
Day 3: More of the same, but different.
9:00 AM: I had a dream! I wake up feeling extremely motivated to get out of my room and explore. This time I explore the city.
12:00 PM: Lunch. I go and try the food I saw earlier at the mall. It's good, but I can't stop thinking about that one "regular" coffee.
1:00 PM: I go back to the hotel to use the pool. The same pigeon is there, as well.
3:00 AM: I book another day here, and hopefully I can have a "regular" coffee.
7:00 PM: Dinner. I had the best dinner.
9:00 PM: Bed. I'm extremely content.
The Moral of the Story:
This itinerary is less about ticking off boxes and more about embracing the absurdity, the unexpected, and the glorious imperfections of travel. Also, drink the coffee. Seriously. You really should. And pack sunscreen.

So, what *is* this whole "FAQ" thing anyway? My grandma keeps asking.
Honestly? Good question, Grandma! It stands for "Frequently Asked Questions." Basically, it's a fancy way of saying "Here's a list of the stuff people keep bugging us about, and the answers we've come up with." Think of it as the website’s built-in babysitter for repetitive queries. (And yes, sometimes it's for *your* questions, Brenda!) I remember once, I spent a solid *week* fielding the exact same question about shipping times. Ugh. This FAQ thing at least *pretends* to handle it for me now. (Which is great, because I now have a thriving side hustle making artisan dog sweaters.)
Why are FAQs always so... boring?
Okay, fair point. Lots of FAQs *are* snooze-fests. They’re usually dry, mechanical, and feel like they were written by robots who've never experienced the sheer joy of a perfectly toasted bagel. I’m aiming for different here. Hopefully, this one will be a bit less like watching paint dry and more like… like, a good, juicy gossip sesh with your bestie. Don't hold your breath, though. I'm as prone to tangents as the next person. (Squirrel!) See, I said it! Dang it. Back to the boring-ness… basically, most companies want to be extremely *precise* and *un-opinionated*. I'm going for the opposite and hope I can pull it off without getting sued.
Are you *sure* you know what you're doing with this `` thing? It looks complicated and… well, coding makes my eyes glaze over.
Hahaha! *Excellent* question! Honestly? No. Not really. I *think* I do. I've been reading the *guides*. I've watched the *videos*. I’ve even Googled “How to ensure your FAQ is not a complete dumpster fire.” (Turns out, there’s a *lot* of advice out there. More than I can probably process. Which is good, right?) Look, I *hope* I'm doing it right. If the internet spiders (is that what they're called?) can’t find this, I’m toast. And frankly, I'm a bit terrified. But… YOLO, right? Let's just pretend I know what I'm doing. Fake it 'til you make it is *always* my life motto, unless it involves open heart surgery, which I definitely do not have a license to do. (And on that note, remember to consult a medical professional!)
Can you *please* stop rambling? What is the *actual* purpose of an FAQ?
Okay, okay, point taken. Sorry, I get excited. The purpose? To, more or less:
- Answer common questions.
- Save everyone (mostly the support staff) time.
- Provide information about… stuff.
- Hopefully, prevent a customer service rep from having a complete meltdown. (I used to *be* one. I get it.)
Look, think of it as a shortcut. You want answers? Boom. Here they (hopefully) are. Quick, easy, and (I hope!) entertaining. Well, maybe not *entertaining*. Useful? Probably. Possibly. Fine, I'm just doing my best here, alright?!
What kind of questions are you *answering* here, exactly?
Oh, the questions... Well, *that's* the million-dollar (or, uh, zero-dollar) question, isn't it? I'm answering *all* the questions! Okay... not really. That would require a universe of space and frankly, I’m not *that* ambitious. So many people want to write, I guess. So many people want to *write*, I think. I think that's it.
About this "answering all the questions" thing: You *promised* you'd be honest. Is that a lie?
Okay, confession time: Yes. I lied. (Sorry!) "Answering all the questions" was a bit of hyperbole. Basically, I'm trying to answer a few questions that are bouncing around in my head. The questions about… *this whole experience*. About writing a FAQ with all those funny tags. About the *point*, even. Look, I have a *lot* of thoughts. Maybe this FAQ is just a way to channel them. And I hope it’s actually helpful to *you*, the reader!
Okay, so… what *should* I be looking for in a good FAQ?
That's an excellent question. Really, it is! Ideally, you want an FAQ that is:
- Clear: Easy to understand. (Unlike some of these answers, haha!)
- Concise: Gets to the point. (Again, I’m… working on it.)
- Comprehensive: Answers the *right* questions. (I think I’m getting there.)
- Well-Organized: So you can actually *find* what you need. (I swear, I tried!)
And… ideally, it should be updated! Information changes, products evolve, and the internet never sleeps. It should *really* updated... But… the important thing is that it's helpful. And (I hope), a bit of a fun read. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go stare blankly at a wall for a bit. This is exhausting!
Wait… why dog sweaters? I am *dying* to know the story.
(Heavy sigh) Okay. This is going to take a while. Brace yourselves. It all started with… Barkley, my ridiculously fluffy golden doodle. That dog has an allergy to the sun, and to basically everything, including the air. He’s basically a walking, barking, expensive-vet-bill-generating cloud. So, I needed sweaters. *Lots* of sweaters.
I tried buying them. Seriously. I went to every pet store, every online retailer. But they were either *too* scratchy, *too* itchy, *too* expensive, or just plain *hideous*. I mean, neon green with sequined flamingos? BarkleyHotel Near Airport
