Is it possible to walk without a male escort?
I understand that the question does not sound very common, but we, two adult women, are going to Sharjah. I was told that it would not be possible to go shopping in the city on my own, since walking through the streets without an escort of a man is not allowed. Is it so???

If the hotel is Coral Beach, then it is called a nursing home. There are no women on the streets. Some black hard workers scurry about in gangs. Somehow it will be dumb for YOU to walk (It is better to buy a local veil) A very strict state. I don’t like it.

lanochk, you were misled (more precisely, they said stupidity), walking the streets of Sharjah without an escort of a man is absolutely safe and, moreover, there are no bans on passing through the streets. In general, the Emirates are an absolutely safe country. The severity of Sharjah is dry law + lack of night clubs.

Lanochk, don't listen to stupid advice like from rex45. Walking anytime anywhere is absolutely safe. There is no crime at all in this country. What Vastam is waiting for is a meeting with some drunken cattle from our compatriots in the corridors of the hotel.
These black hard workers who scurry around in gangs are more than anything afraid of deportation, and they are deported there simply for suspicion of disloyalty, and they will have nothing to feed their families. There is no alcohol in the country, as well as a drunken cattle, who, having drunk, goes in search of adventure. Even ours all behave below grass, quieter than water. Nobody wants to spend the next 15 years in jail. This is not Russia where you can get drunk, fight, make three attempts to rape in the evening and nothing will happen to you. You don’t have to wear mini-skirts and tops with an open stomach, so as not to just look stupid, but in Sharjah you can rattle the police for that if it's not a hotel area and also be deported. Everything is quiet and peaceful there, so don't worry.

Thanks, Alex. They just told me that it is undesirable for 2 women to go shopping through the streets of the city without a man, there may be problems with the locals. We definitely won’t go topless or a la topless .. But I don’t want to wear a veil either .. somehow) *smiled

You will not see any problems on the first day and you will understand everything. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi and Jumeirah, in general, they have not paid attention to crazy tourists for a long time. But they will watch. But in Sharjah, the most stringent laws on this topic. Clothing below the knee is prohibited by law outside hotels and entertainment facilities. But there's only one thing I can say. Mind is not considered a cripple. When you go to a foreign country, respect the local customs. Extremes are not needed. Enough common sense. By the way, there is no theft in the country either. Any item or money found is handed over to special bureaus. Only the suspicion of an attempted appropriation leads to deportation, so putting $ 50 on the sidewalk still has to wait in the crowd for a daredevil who decides to pick it up. Saw it in a documentary movie. It was funny. Conducted an experiment. So no one dared to take one. They gathered several people so that there would be witnesses that they did not want to pocket and took them to the lost and found office. That's it. Either the BBC or the Discovery filmed about the UAE. When I was going there for the first time, I was looking for information about the country and came across.

Well, I corrected the above))) Clothing above the knee is prohibited. Officially prohibited. They won't put you in jail, but you can be fined.
Kissing in public places is also not a joke. It is Sharjah that is strict with this.

Absolutely agree with Alex66! Someone will write false reviews .. then people are really afraid to go. But this does not apply to the UAE! Of course there are features, but do not go to extremes. When I accompanied my niece there (she lives there for many years), she also thought so ... And then she laughed at herself. The laws are strict there. No one wants to go to prison, this is not Russia! If you behave yourself normally, then everything will be OK!

If shorts and skirts above the knee are not allowed in Sharjah, then what to wear? Only jeans and trousers? Or is it still an exaggeration?

Na_Tashka, I rested in Sharjah at the end of January. It is desirable that your clothes are knee-length..On the hotel beach, I walked the way I wanted. And on excursions and around Sharjah, she wore a skirt below her knees or summer trousers / capris. It was already hot in jeans) *smiled.
If you want to relax mentally and not attract extra looks to your “joy”, then it’s better to be a little restrained in clothes. And we must not forget that we are visiting there, and local traditions must be respected, at least.

thanks lanochk. I'm not going to wear anything provocative. I have T-shirts with sleeves, but the shorts are the usual medium length. But finding matching skirts and pants is hard enough these days. What do you think, will it cost? I don't want problems with the law.

You can wear a T-shirt or blouse without sleeves, do not open your chest. Look again at your wardrobe, anyway, you will find something up to your knees. Ride with a good mood and a good rest will be guaranteed.

As soon as we arrived, that same evening we decided to look for some kind of exchanger, hoping that we would find it. We didn’t find it, but we walked around Sharjah a bit. For the first hour, I was sooooo afraid to walk along the dark streets (four of us walked: my husband and I, his mother and sister), I thought it was night in the yard, now someone else would "run over", but then I calmed down absolutely, walked until one in the morning and no one even did not say a word. In Turkey and Egypt, it’s definitely more dangerous even during the day - they don’t let you take a step, but here - peace and quiet :) It was fun in Dubai, at the Nasser Square market, when my husband lagged behind, they began to invite me to shops "to look", but absolutely unobtrusively and culturally, and when she walked next to her husband, no one called anywhere anymore ... eeeeh ... :)))))

Yes, Yla_la, I also felt it: in Turkey you can’t take a step - you will definitely be called somewhere to see something, pulled by your sleeve, etc. But this is not the case in the Emirates .. complete freedom of choice - if you want to come in .. if you don’t want - as you wish .. Only in one place did I remember Turkey - in the carpet market, when we passed Fujairah, heading towards the Indian Ocean. They grabbed him by the sleeve, practically dragging him to the carpets. ((
