subject: All About Holiday Inn Sharjah [print this page] If you need excellent conference facilities, we at Holiday Inn Sharjah supply all your needs. Less than 20 minutes from two international airports, and 25 minutes from the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, we enjoy a central location that makes us ideal for those flying in for meetings from abroad.
Sharjah is a popular destination for both business travellers and tourists. We at Holiday Inn are close to the serene waters of the Khalid Lagoon, and within easy reach of attractions like the Blue Souk, the Heritage Museum, Sharjah National Park, Al Qasba Canal and the beaches for which we operate a complimentary shuttle bus.
Business travellers arriving for conferences are within easy reach of the Sharjah Business District and Expo Centre, as well as several business parks. Sharjahs Commerce and Tourism Development Authority offices are just across the lagoon. The SCTDA has been actively engaged in developing the Emirates commercial and tourist sectors since 1996, through a series of strategic plans to promote Sharjah both locally and globally.
As well as organising events, activities and meetings, the Authority actively markets and promotes the Emirate to attract foreign investment. This means a steady influx of business visitors arriving from Sharjah and Dubai International Airports both of which are within easy reach of us at Holiday Inn Sharjah.
Basking in continual sunshine, tempered by the breezes of the Persian Gulf, Sharjah offers beaches, water sports, theme parks, wildlife attractions and chic shopping malls. However, it is also the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates. Founded 6000 years ago, it has been a tourist destination since 1932 long before the chic Al Buheirah Corniche was built. With a rich cultural, historical and artistic legacy, the citys elegant mosques, souks, fortresses and museums stand proudly alongside modern hotels like us at Holiday Inn.
Sharjah visitors booking meeting rooms with a view to investment should arrange a cultural tour of the city, either by taxi or boat. The beauty of the buildings, canals and lagoons have led some to describe it as the Venice of the East; an evening cruise to see the Al Noor Mosque from Khalid Lagoon is a must.
Those visiting the Middle East for the first time are often confused about social etiquette and local traditions. Theres a strict no alcohol rule in Sharjah, and a dress rule is enforced in some areas for example, on Corniche beach, near the Sharjah Women's Club. However, you will find things a lot more relaxed once you are inside our hotel at Holiday Inn Sharjah, as it is a private establishment most of the Muslim laws are restricted to public areas.
Within our hotel you will find a well-equipped bar where you can relax after meetings, and the Al Dana restaurant serves a cosmopolitan range of dishes throughout the day. Our 4-star facilities include 180 spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms, including executive suites which are ideal for break-out sessions. Further relaxation can be enjoyed in our rooftop swimming pool, gym, or spa.
Our two conference rooms will house up to 220 delegates in comfort, and our extensive business facilities include broadband internet access throughout the hotel. This makes us at Holiday Inn Sharjah perfect for meetings of every size.
