Private tours in Sharjah
The cultural capital of the Emirates keeps its heritage close: museums, the restored heart of the old town, the Blue Souk and the desert at Mleiha, and a private tour gives you space to read it slowly, away from the crowds.

Private Falconry in the UAE: Bedouin Heritage Beyond the Group Camp Show
At almost every desert camp in the UAE, a falcon appears for a few minutes on a handler's glove, long enough for a photo before the next group arrives. That is not really falconry, it is a photo stop borrowed from a much older practice. A private falconry experience goes further: time with a falconer who explains the bird, the training and the centuries of desert life built around it, at a pace no fixed group show allows. This guide sets out what that actually looks like, where the tradition comes from, and how a private session fits into a wider desert day with gett.tours.
Northern Emirates vs Dubai: Which Private Day Suits Your Trip
Dubai fills a day with icons and energy, but an hour or two north the UAE turns quiet: mountain coast in Sharjah, a hilltop fort and empty beaches in Ras Al Khaimah, mangrove lagoons in Umm Al Quwain. Neither is a replacement for the other, they answer different moods, and a private car makes either one, or both, easy to arrange around your own pace rather than a fixed coach schedule.
A Northern Emirates Road Trip
Beyond Dubai and Abu Dhabi lie five quieter emirates, strung along the Gulf coast and over the mountains to the Indian Ocean. Taken in the right order they make one of the country's finest drives. Here is the route, stop by stop, and how to follow it on a private day or two.
Fujairah and the East Coast of the UAE
Cross the Hajar Mountains and the Emirates change entirely: the Gulf of Oman in place of the Arabian Gulf, green wadis, coral reefs and the country's oldest mosque. Here is what the east coast holds, and how to see it on a private day.
What is Sharjah known for?
It is the cultural heart of the UAE, rich in museums, restored heritage quarters and the archaeological desert of Mleiha.
How far is Sharjah from Dubai?
Sharjah sits right beside Dubai, so a private day starts with a short drive and leaves plenty of time for its museums and souks.
Are Sharjah tours family friendly?
Yes. The pace is relaxed and cultural, and a private guide tailors the stops to keep everyone engaged.
