Amazing architecture at Sharjah’s Central Souq

Also known as the Blue Souk, this Sharjah stalwart is approaching 40 years old (it opened in 1979) and makes quite a claim of being the finest Arabian souk experience in the UAE. There are hundreds of stores selling gold, furniture, crafts, carpets, art and collectibles from around the Arab world and Asia. Look out for jewels from Yemen, rugs handwoven in Afghanistan and Rajhastani treasure chests. The haggling is hard and you’ll need to keep your wits about you to get a good deal. More impressive than the deals and stalls is the building itself. The ornate blue mosaic tiles on both sides of the split building are picture-postcard examples of traditional art and architecture, and well worth travelling to see.
Open Sun-Thu 9am-10.30pm; Fri 4pm-10.30pm. Central Souq, King Faisal Road, on Khalid Lake, Sharjah.

Scattered cloud cover will bring brief respite from the sweltering sun and a hazy start to the weekend, with temperatures in the capital likely to rise from 38C through the morning to around 41C by noon.

Humidity will settle at 50 per cent and a 15 km per hour north west breeze will do little to cool down those outside during the day.

Temperatures could reach 45C in Dubai, as skies clear to leave a fine, but hot day and it will feel more like 66C due to high humidity.

It is a similar weather pattern across the northern emirates and east coast, with overnight temperatures unlikely to fall below 30C.

The extreme heat is likely to continue into Saturday and Sunday, with those taking part in outdoor activities encouraged to take extra precautions to avoid sunstroke, such as taking on fluids and avoiding the midday sun.
