The presentation of the new City Sightseeing sightseeing bus and its route took place the day before in Sharjah.

He will ply through the historical places of the emirate throughout the year and make 15 stops along the way, including near the Central Market, Sharjah Aquarium, Museum of Islamic Civilization, Mega Mall, Al Majaz Waterfront Mosque and others. Each ticket will be valid for 24 hours, so a tourist can get off at any stop and continue his route on the next bus the same day.

Currently, an audio guide for passengers, installed on board double-decker buses, operates in four languages: Russian, Arabic, German and English. Subsequently, Chinese, Spanish, Urdu, Hindi and French will be added. The ticket price for an adult will be 85 dirhams (US $ 23.3), for children - 45 dirhams (US $ 12.3). Buses will run around the city from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and until 10 p.m. on weekends.

The famous red double-decker City Sightseeing buses operate today in almost 100 tourist centers of the world, including London, Paris, Rome and Moscow. In 2011 alone, they served a total of about 9 million passengers.

His Excellency Marwan Bin Jasim Al Sarkal, CEO of Shurooq, said during the presentation: "We are constantly looking for ways to develop Sharjah's tourism infrastructure, including through the implementation of such large projects as Al Qasba and Al Majaz Waterfront promenades. The bus tour was the next a logical step towards increasing the attractiveness of our emirate for tourists. "

In turn, Muhammad Ali Al Numan, chairman of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Department (SCTDA), said: “We strive to support any initiatives aimed at developing tourism and attracting more foreign visitors. Currently, more than 1.5 million visit Sharjah tourists a year. We constantly organize new events and ongoing projects so that their number grows. "

We are sincerely pleased to present our service in Sharjah, which is considered the cultural center of the Arab world due to its rich historical heritage. From my point of view "Sharjah is an ideal city for those who want to appreciate the evolution of the Arab people and have a good time."
