Shouldn't be more than 10 min as the traffic on Garhoond bridge is always to the left going to Sharjah. right is fine...

also Downtown Burj/old town would be a reasonable distance

also to note I know lots of unmarried Asian couples who cohabit

just take a drive down around the area and see for yourself
