Sharjah, the third largest city in UAE has reopened for tourism with the guarantee to provide top safety for all its visitors. All standard safety measures and precautions in place are validated through the ‘Sharjah Safe for Tourism’ stamp, introduced by the World Travel and Tourism Council to reassure travelers.


Visitors are hoped to rush to the famous tourism establishments of the Emirates. At the Sharjah airport upon arrival, visitors coming to Sharjah are required to take a COVID 19 test (results usually out within 24 hours). Indian passengers will have to undergo another PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test as well upon arriving at the Sharjah Airport and must quarantine until the results are come out.


To quote Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman, SCTDA, “We are extremely happy and ready to welcome tourists and we are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of residents and visitors alike. Additionally, we have established a ‘Safety Assured’ stamp which follows the measures set out by the World Travel and Tourism Council’s (WTTC) ‘Safe Travels’ initiative. The stamp follows the measures set out by the World Travel and Tourism Council’s (WTTC) ‘Safe Travels’ stamp, the world’s first global safety and hygiene stamp for travel and tourism. SCTDA, in collaboration with Sharjah Health Authority (SHA), have dedicated teams inspecting various establishments in the emirate to ensure compliance with the required health and safety measures. Residents and tourists visiting the emirate can look for the ‘Safety Assured’ stamp displayed in the establishment prior to making a booking or upon entry. The stamp is a visual symbol which gives instant recognition of the establishment’s compliance to the precautionary measures being implemented by the government, reassuring consumers of the safety of the location, ensuring that tourists feel safe while enjoying the beauty and unique experiences of Sharjah.”


The top tourist attractions like the Rain Room, Al Noor Island and Sharjah Mosque which were opened to the public for the first time in 2019 is based in Sharjah. The city welcomed over 143 thousand guests from India in 2019, reflecting an increase of as much as 26% of visitor arrivals and representing a total market share of 8%.
