      History


      Sharjah is the third largest of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah was once part of a single emirate, along with Ras Al Khaimah, which was ruled by the Al Qasimi family. H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi assumed the throne in 1972 - also known as "a scholar" in history, and was awarded a PhD (Doctorate of Philosophy) for his outstanding work.
      Under the guidance of H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Sharjah has progressed rapidly. Today, it is known as the cultural capital of the UAE. The discovery of the Mubarak oil field near Abu Musa Island in 1971 changed the fortunes of the emirate. In 1981, after Mubarak's reserves began to dwindle, the discovery of the offshore gas and liquid gas field of Al Sajaa gave a further boost to its revenues.
      Sharjah is also the first port in the Middle East to have fully equipped container facilities. Its large and attractive port at Khorfakkan provides key facilities for ships that do not need to enter the Gulf.
