About
Editorial Policy
How Sharjah Compass chooses topics, checks facts, handles corrections and keeps editorial content separate from any future advertising.
This page explains the rules Sharjah Compass follows. It applies to every guide, tool and listing on the site.
Who is responsible
Sharjah Compass is founded and published by Muhammad Jahangir, who is responsible for the site, its editorial rules and its corrections. The site is not a government service and is not affiliated with any authority, developer or property portal.
What we publish
We publish practical guides about living in, moving to and visiting Sharjah. We pick topics by asking one question: does this help a resident or visitor make a real decision?
How we check facts
- Fees, fares, opening hours and rules are checked against the official source, such as a government authority or the venue's own website.
- Official sources come first. Next come operators and venues, then named news reports. Property portals and similar third parties are shown as reported and labelled as such.
- Each guide lists its sources and shows an "updated" date. The date changes only when facts on the page have been rechecked.
- A page stays hidden from search engines until its facts are confirmed.
- When sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one silently.
- We do not copy text from other websites. We write in our own words and link to the source.
What we do not do
- We do not invent prices, timings, statistics, reviews or business details.
- We do not claim to be a government service or to speak for any authority.
- We do not give legal, financial, immigration or medical advice.
Use of AI
We use AI tools to help with research and drafting. Every fact is checked against a named source before a page is published. AI is never the source of a fact.
Corrections
Facts change. If you find an error or outdated detail, email [email protected] or use the contact page. We check it against the official source and update the page and its date. If we cannot confirm a figure, we remove it or say that it is unconfirmed.
Advertising and independence
Sharjah Compass currently carries no advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content. If that changes, paid content will be labelled clearly, kept separate from editorial guides, and will not change what we say in those guides.
