Sharjah, one of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates, is considerably safe for solo female travelers. UAE's laws are strict, and crime rates are significantly lower compared to other countries. However, it is always important to be alert and respectful of local customs, traditions, and dress codes. Public transport is reliable, and most locals speak English which makes communication easy. However, always stay cautious of your belongings, especially in crowded areas.

I have never heard or experienced any physical harassment except Maybe cat calling. Night walks might be a bit worrisome coz there are instances where strangers will call you. But overall it is not that dangerous.
