The Russian Orthodox Church located in Sharjah, a 20 minute drive from Dubai, is the biggest church in the country. With its beautiful ornate blue domes, rich symbolism and images inside the church, it’s well worth visiting no matter what your faith is. While it is usually open only during the evenings, it is most crowded on Sunday; seating up to more than 20,000 worshippers on holidays!
