Pic(k) of the week 4: Sharjah University

Even though, Sharjah is the third largest Emirate in the UAE after Abu Dhabi and Dubai, a lot of people outside the region have never heard about the place.

Found just to the North of Dubai, Sharjah the only Emirate that has two coastlines; the Persian Gulf to the West and the Gulf of Oman to the East.

In the region it is especially known for it education with a university campus  that has a lot of interesting architecture, stretching over 5 kilometres (3 miles).

The image below of one of the buildings of the University of Sharjah, was taken just after sunset after I got lost in the very busy city centre a while ago.
