I am not sure about Abu Dhabi, but I know that alcohol is illegal in Sharjah. You actually can't even drive through the Emirate with alcohol in your car.

Sharjah has 2 things good going for it: proximity to Dubai, and cheapness of housing.

its also these two things that are the worst issues with Sharjah; too much traffic (its almost always jammed with traffic), and the housing isnt exactly of great quality.

Abu Dhabi is great, and the reasons are endless. *yes, im slightly biased :P*

Abu Dhabi is better. There are a lot of places to go to during your rest day unlike in Sharjah where most of the areas are filled with factories. Also, they are very strict in Sharjah with regards to consuming alcohol and boding with the opposite sex.
