There are not many roads that cross into Dubai from Sharjah so the few that do tend to bottleneck quite a bit. Sharjah was popular with expats for the cheaper rent and relatively short commute into Dubai, especially when rents were skyrocketing in Dubai a few years ago (they are starting to again). I recall a sea of shared taxis charging 5 dhs to go from the center of Sharjah to various points in Dubai.
I recently got to attend a meeting at the University City in Sharjah, which is very near to Dubai. I was told they built up most of the universities within a span of 2-3 years so this ‘city’ sprung up from empty desert fairly quickly. The gem of the architecture is the American University of Sharjah, which has some incredible looking buildings; although every university campus there was pretty flash. Many had massive domes and sprawling campuses even if there are only a few hundred to few thousand students. The architecture, well-manicured lawns and endless rows of flowers along the main road showed the importance placed on education and are not afraid to spend money on it. University City is a ways outside of Downtown Sharjah and right next to the airport so it would be easy to find. If you miss your turn you might have to drive another 5-10 km just to turn around though!

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
