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.
