Getting there
Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club is accessed most commonly via Dubai International Airport, a twenty-minute drive west along the E11 highway that traces the coastline of the Arabian Gulf. The route passes through the seamless urban fabric connecting Dubai and Sharjah, the third emirate revealing itself through minarets and modern towers rising against the desert sky. For private arrivals, Sharjah International Airport sits even closer, offering discreet access to this established club that has anchored the emirate's sporting life since the early 1970s. The final approach leaves the highway for quieter roads that open onto manicured fairways - a verdant oasis carved from the arid landscape of the UAE's cultural capital.
