The evolution of Sharjah in the UAE
No conversation about the UAE is ever complete without talking about the incredible changes that the country has gone through over the last few decades. In recent years, the rate of this transformation has only sped up. We now see an even greater emphasis on technology, global trade and tourism in the nation’s administrative policies and international relationships. UAE is emerging as a global power with an increasing say and influence in world affairs.
As part of this country in great change, Sharjah is the capital of the Emirate of Sharjah. It is the country’s third most populous city after Dubai and Abu Dhabi , with 543,733 inhabitants in 2005 and more than 1,51 million in 2018 (it is part of the conurbation of the latter).
The city of Sharjah is an important cultural and industrial centre, accounting for 7.4% of the federation’s GDP. The city is also the seat of the main administrative and commercial centres, particularly with its two main traditional souks: Souk Al Arsah and Blue Souk.
In Sharjah, the summers are long, sweltering, oppressive, arid, and partly cloudy and the winters are comfortable, dry, and mostly clear. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 15°C to 40°C and is rarely below 11°C or above 44°C.
The population of Sharjah has been growing intensively and is projected to keep growing steadily according to the statistics.
