Summer often inspires thoughts of travelling further afield. Yet some of the UAE’s most memorable experiences lie much closer to home. This season, Sharjah Collection invites residents and visitors to discover a different way to embrace summer through slower mornings, heritage-rich experiences, refreshing escapes and destination dining, all set within the extraordinary landscapes of the Emirate of Sharjah.
Commenting on the summer programme, Ahmed Ben Zaied, General Manager of Sharjah Collection, said, “Today’s travellers are increasingly looking for experiences that allow them to reconnect – with nature, culture, family and themselves. Summer presents the perfect opportunity to slow down and discover a different side of the UAE. Through Sharjah Collection, we want guests to experience destinations that are authentic, inspiring and deeply connected to the heritage and landscapes of Sharjah.”
Take a Dip at Al Badayer Retreat
There are few experiences more unexpected than swimming in the middle of the desert.
Surrounded by the rolling dunes of central Sharjah, Al Badayer Retreat offers a refreshing escape where guests can spend the day relaxing beside its beautifully designed swimming pool before watching the desert transform into a spectacular canvas of golden hues as the sun begins to set.
The retreat’s popular summer Day Pass, priced at AED 149 inclusive of taxes, includes access to the swimming pool, children’s play area, bicycles within the retreat and redeemable dining credit at Al Madam Restaurant between 11:00am and 6:00pm, making it an ideal day out for couples, families and friends.
Unlike conventional city pools, the experience here is defined by space, tranquillity and the unique beauty of the desert landscape, offering a refreshing reminder that some of the UAE’s finest summer moments are found outdoors.
Discover the UAE’s Living Heritage
For those seeking culture and discovery, Al Rayaheen Retreat presents a journey into the heart of Emirati heritage.
Located within the restored Heart of Khorfakkan, the retreat invites guests to wander through beautifully restored traditional homes, tranquil courtyards and historic alleyways that celebrate the region’s architectural and cultural legacy. More than a heritage destination, it offers an opportunity to experience the traditions, craftsmanship and warm hospitality that continue to shape the identity of the UAE.
Wake Up to a Slower Morning
Summer is also the perfect season to rediscover the pleasure of an unhurried breakfast.
At Wishi, mornings are designed around relaxed dining and meaningful moments, where contemporary café culture meets regional flavours. Guests can enjoy signature dishes including traditional Chebab, Baked Shakshuka, Al Maqsar Benedict and generous breakfast platters, complemented by speciality coffees and refreshing beverages.
Whether meeting friends or enjoying a peaceful start to the day, Wishi offers a reminder that some of the best travel experiences begin around the breakfast table.
