The Emirate of Museums

Sharjah runs more than 20 museums, was named UNESCO's Arab Capital of Culture in 1998, and is the only emirate where alcohol is entirely prohibited. Its book fair is among the largest in the world by attendance.

The clock: Sharjah is contiguous with Dubai — the border runs through built-up streets — and both keep UTC+4, which is the only reason its notorious cross-emirate commute is survivable at all.
