Xposure is the Festival for All of Us Who Are Sick of Gear

When compared to its far more glitzy neighbor, Dubai, or the oil-rich capital, Abu Dhabi, the tiny emirate of Sharjah is often missed out when cities of the United Arab Emirates are discussed. But Sharjah is often the most recognized city in the Gulf for being a beacon of culture and the arts of all kinds. Now in its 10th edition, the 2026 Xposure photography festival is another shining testament to the city's efforts in promoting visual arts at a global level.
