Sharjah Compass is an independent information site for people who live in, plan to move to, or visit Sharjah, UAE. It is written by an editorial team based in the UAE.

What we aim to be

  • Useful. Practical answers first, in plain English.
  • Sourced. Important facts link to official or named sources, with a date.
  • Honest. When sources disagree, we say so. When we do not know, we say that too.
  • Independent. We are not a government website and we are not affiliated with any authority, developer or property portal.

What we are not

We do not give legal, financial, immigration or medical advice. For decisions that matter, confirm with the official authority or a licensed professional.

Advertising and sponsored content

At the moment this site carries no advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content. If that changes, paid content will be labelled clearly and kept separate from our editorial guides, and we will follow all applicable UAE rules for advertising content.
