Sharjah is the third largest of the seven states which
form the United Arab Emirates.
The settlement of Sharjah dates back some 6,000 years
when it is believed to have been called
Sarcoa.
The population was small and people relied on trade
and sea faring in addition to, farming, hunting,
fishing and pearling. Many of the early settlements
were based around the 'falaj', a man made underground
water course.
