Sky Watch - The Eye of Emirates!!!

Replicating London Eye, UAE got its "The Eye of Emirates" in 2005. At Al Qasba in Al Khan Corniche, this 60mtr Ferris Wheel has 42 AC cabins which accommodates 8 passengers each. Its one of the known lankmarks of Al Qasba which you find as you enter Sharjah from Dubai. The ride gives great view of Sharjah and Gulf Coast.

These photographs were clicked from moving AC bus, during my first visit to Sharjah.
You can experience similar view of Dubai(but definitely not from this height) at the cable car in Creek Park. Below is the pic of the same,

As the sun sets by Buhaira Corniche!!!

Buhaira Corniche of Sharjah is similar to our own Marine Drive of Mumbai, with a wonderful stretch to walk, jog, skate, cycle and enjoy the sunset. Best visited during weekdays, when it is less crowded, the corniche has restraunts as well to enjoy the local cuisine and spend time with family and friends.

That's Dubai's Burj Khalifa between the first and second lamp posts from left.

As the sun sets and a flight carries people, eagerly waiting to join their family back home and birds head to nest with the dusk --- a sight when you get home sick and want to go back home.
