Life in Sharjah

Home  >  Admissions  >  International Students  >  Life in Sharjah

Sharjah is one of the UAE’s seven Emirates. The city centre of Sharjah is just a short drive from the metropolis of Dubai, one of the world’s leading tourism and business destinations. Overlooking the Arabian Gulf, with the desert as a backdrop, Sharjah is rich in natural beauty.

Known as one of the Islamic world’s cultural centers and the UAE’s sporting hub, there is no shortage of activities outside of campus for AUS students. Along with museums and historical sites, desert camping and camel racing are high on the list for AUS students looking to experience a real piece of Sharjah.

The Emirate is also well located to discover the UAE’s other leading cities, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and everything those cities have to offer, including luxury shopping malls, palaces, beaches, water parks and much more
