Emirate of Sharjah<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Our small ferry from Bandar Abbas “lands” in the port of the small emirate of Sharjah. As the ship set off several hours late and took 12 instead of 10 hours for the crossing due to the persistent thunderstorms, we only arrive in Sharjah in the late morning of November 10, 2011. A police car drives ahead of us to immigration. The passports of all travelers are collected here and those who were unlucky and whose passport was at the bottom simply had to wait longer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

We were lucky and the spit-roasting in the port of Sharjah could begin.<\/strong> First I go through a back exit over to the customs building to change money, but then I have a hard time getting back in. However, we need cash for the following process. First we go back to the harbor, where we have to pay the bill of unloading at the shipping agency and then get the ship’s papers. This is followed by the stamping of the Carnet de Passage, payment of the road traffic fee, etc…. At the end we return to the harbor, where all papers and payments are checked in a barrack and we receive the exit ticket with which we can leave the harbor. Shortly before sunset, we reach the small parking lot at Al-Khan Beach, where we spend the night for the next two days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
