Mindful meoweler tips

Sharjah is a dry emirate

Alcohol is banned in Sharjah, so be sure not to bring any with you or try to purchase any while within the emirate.

Modest dress is required

When visiting public places in Sharjah, cats should make sure to dress modestly with clothing that covers their shoulders, chest, and knees.

Be mindful of Ramadan

During the holy month of Ramadan, cats should be respectful of those who are observing the fast and refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours.
