Sharjah media delegation set off to explore the mysterious Middle Eastern culture

On March 19, local time, the Chinese tourism industry and media visited Sharjah. This study tour was organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, and World Travel Online was honored to be invited to explore the route for our friends. Standing on this land for the first time and witnessing his true face, the editor was deeply shocked by Sharjah, an ancient Middle Eastern cultural city that inherits Islamic civilization but can go through the baptism of time and remain youthful forever. Sharjah is worth exploring.

Representatives from well-known domestic travel agencies such as Caesar Travel, Us Travel, Tongcheng Travel, Shanghai CITS, Ctrip, Guangzhi Travel, etc. also participated in the inspection . World Tourism Network, as the China Promotion Office of Sharjah Business and Tourism Development Authority, assists in inviting visiting colleagues. A representative told me that in the first half of 2016, the number of Chinese tourists to Sharjah increased by as much as 73.2% year-on-year. The relaxation of visa policies will further stimulate the growth of tourism in Sharjah, so he is glad that he participated in the study tour so that he can understand the country more intuitively. Since November last year, the UAE has granted visa-free treatment to tourists from China, including Sharjah, the third largest emirate in the UAE. Therefore, during this study tour, the group members did not need to worry about the troubles caused by visas (for example, the passport is valid for half a year, the processing time is seven working days, and the visa fee is within 500 yuan). goodbye! )China Tourism Market Exchange Conference

The official first day of the delegation coincided with the China Webinar held in Sharjah, China.

After the exchange meeting, the delegation, led by representatives of Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority, Started our inspection trip in Sharjah. Shajia Shui Tribe, family fun.

After a hearty lunch, we can finally taste authentic Arabic food. After a hearty Arabic lunch, we went to Sharjah Aquarium. Sharjah has always promoted its strengths as a family destination and Sharjah Aquarium is one such place. A great place for a family trip sounds terrible. Look at sharks that aren't scary. There is an electronic introduction screen in front of each fish (the service is really all-inclusive, in China it is usually just a cold introduction card). You can click to view fish species and living habits, and learn more about the secrets of the vast water world. Parents can also participate in fun games with their children, which is very suitable for parent-child travel. Al Jubail Fish Market, experience local life In order to truly experience the local lifestyle, we came to the Al Jubail Fish Market adjacent to Khalid Lagoon. The fish market is clean and orderly, with all kinds of fresh seafood available at affordable prices. A wave of fishing boats had just returned from fishing and showed us their trophies, preparing to start the twice-daily fish market auction, with the highest price winning. The returning fishing boat auctioned Butterfly Island in the busy fish market and encountered a beautiful 3,500-meter-long pontoon, which took us to Al Noor Island (also known as Butterfly Island) in the middle of the Khalid Lagoon. This is a new highlight of Sharjah’s culture and leisure, with beautiful scenery. In order to fully enjoy the leisure time away from the busy city life, the number of tourists on the island is limited to 1,000 people. The butterfly pavilion of an Arab woman wearing a black robe has a unique design. There is a butterfly pavilion and a cultural center on the island. There are more than 500 species of butterflies in the Butterfly Museum. You can watch this beautiful creature up close as it grows. When the editor saw the butterfly emerging from the cocoon with her own eyes, she couldn't help but sigh. Life is so beautiful~ Parents of butterfly specimens can draw their own butterflies with their children. A Chinese delegation of 15 people stayed at the five-star Royal Tulip Garden Hotel in the city center, which made perfect sense. It has convenient transportation and is very popular with Chinese tourists.
