Sharjah Heritage Museum gives a deeper view to the traditional way of life in premodern Sharjah.

Very cool place but it was a bit confusing to know where was the Exact entrance. Parking was confusing as well. Especially for visitors that dont know. All parking was street paid parking. Also it seemed like it was a little Souq (shopping) as well. I dont think alot of people know about this place, and it seemed like they were renovating it a bit... Still worth going for pictures and shopping souvenirs

Interesting place to learn about the traditions of the UAE. recently i visited along with my kids to learn more about the Heritage. superb place.

Definitely a must visit when new to the UAE to learn about local traditions and culture. It only cost 10 AED to visit.

Historical fact and ancient civilization

Good place to visit. But lil expensive.

Must visit place to learn and understand the history and heritage of UAE, the place is huge and you need at least 2-3hrs to fully roam around the museum.

Best place to see the thousands of unique artifacts that highlight the great Islamic Civilization from the first century AH (7 AD) to the fourteenth century AH (20 AD) Peace ✌️

A fair priced museum taking you through the history of Sharjah in the heart of Sharjah. A good place to explore the roots of the region.

I have enjoyed it is inspiration of a Islamic history

This museum has the most detailed information on it's exhibits that I have been to so far. Very well organized & set up. I learned a lot, well worth the 10 Dirham.

Nicely laid out museum to tell the story of the emirate people before the discovery of oil. The changes took place after 1972. It is mind blowing to see the way life was just a short time ago.. Artifacts are well maintained and you do not need a guide to enjoy your visit. Story boards are in English and well done. It takes about an hour to do justice to the exhibits. I think" tweens" would even enjoy the visit.

It's amazing. There is a cozy place in the heart of Sharjah.

Very historic place. Worth the price of a ticket to spend a few hours.

Must Visit Place in Sharjah.

Here, you can learn and get inspired by the deep-rooted Arabic customs and traditions which serve as the yardstick for coming generations.

(Translated by Google) Great place to see history (Original) مكان رائع لمعرفة التاريخ

Its a historical place,displaying UAE culture.Ticket is reasonable.

A good experience for kids to explore science. It is neither too big nor too small but many sections were closed due to the covid 19 situation. Planetarium was also kept closed. It was less crowded thus our kids enjoyed this place. Great place for children. Quite economical as well.

Good location

It is a nice wee museum with activities for kids. However, most likely due to covid, a lot of it was sectioned off. But it is still enough to kill an hour of your time. Prices are fair, 10 aed per adult and 5 aed per child. Plenty of learning opportunities for children.

Visit the old Sharjah at this place that represents the true essence of the Emirate comprising of architecture built in traditional Arabian style, ancient Souqs, and old family houses. The area includes several museums such as Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, Al Midfaa House, Hisn Fort, Sharjah Heritage Museum along with Souk Al Arsah, each one narrating the story of Sharjah. The Sharjah Heritage Area is a collection of numerous tourist attractions that represent the heritage of the city. It also has separate opening times for women only. Located in close proximity to Corniche between Burj Avenue & Al-Maraija Road, the place offers an interesting experience for history buffs.

Great Calligraphy (Arabic) Museum and Surrounding Awesome in Heritage Area The Museum itself is small but contains a lot of information about Arabic Calligraphy. The tools and the method used for Calligraphy were also on display. There are also free workshops every week on Arabic Calligraphy so if it interests you you could check with the Museum Authorities and plan your trip accordingly. There is also a book on the Arabic Calligraphy which is on display and the title is currently available for Free. Overall a good place to visit for Calligraphy lover and the surrounding is a heritage area and the place and sight is awesome and a must visit if you are in Sharjah. It is very close to the Shopping area / Rolla Park.

Well maintained with proper information about the sharjah and UAE culture. Display of almost every part of life. Very clean and properly organized. Worth of a visit.

During Ramadan everything is close at 2pm.....

We were actually visiting the Al Arsah souk, however, it was under renovations and so we took a little detour to the Sharjah Heritage Musuem. It's houses an amazing collection of historical artifacts and a gift shop, to give travellers an insight of the local culture & the ways of life before modernization of this amazing state, now Sharjah! Usually there's an entry ticket of 10 Dirhams charged per person, but since I was travelling with my mother whole is over 60, she got free entry & me too as her companion! Added photos & videos for reference! Was indeed time well spent!

Interesting and reception staff were very nice

"I recently visited Sharjah Heritage Museum and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were hosting a coffee event on the day of my visit. The event added an extra layer of glamor to the already delightful experience of exploring the museum. The museum itself is an excellent showcase of the history and culture of the United Arab Emirates, with a range of exhibits that highlight traditional arts, crafts, and way of life. The displays are well-curated and informative, providing visitors with a fascinating insight into the rich cultural heritage of the region.

A must visit place.

It's good to see Arabic heritage landmark restored and open for public.

Great historic city

very much traditional

Nice place to know the heritage

Wonderful experience

Very interesting

One of several museums that offer a combined ticket and well worth spending an hour or so here to learn a bit about the emirate's history. Nicely presented, full English signage. .It was a small place but very precise with quick information about the local history of the people, place and culture. The small art gallery was awesome. It was a good start to learn more about the country.

When you enter the Museum area you come into contact with the tradition and culture of the old inhabitants of Sharjah. We need to approach the finds by letting them talk about daily life, habits, beliefs, work tools and the kitchen. It was a tiring life, but it possessed and still possesses its poetry today. To understand, however, it is better to abandon our preconceived ideas. It is an experience that fits well into the whole Sharjah Heritage Area.

Good museum

Great opportunity to learn about the culture and history of the Sharjah Emirate and early history of United Arab Emirates.

Really good museum that allows you to understand the history and culture of Sharjah, and other emirates overall. You'll be able to understand how the past helped in shaping up the current state and prosperity.

Nice place to go with kids, family, or friends. There are a lot of things inside the building. It will show and give information about the culture of UAE. Like the traditional clothes, the dates, traditional games, etc. And there is small space for kids to listen about traditional story. Also we can go upstair to see around from the top. The place is not too big, but it still good to visit. The staff is so kind, and he give me a cup of traditional coffee and dates. It is so delicious. Love it

Very nice place which represents the ancient livelihood

One of the best indoor activities that school students would love. It has many areas for them to experience. It is better to check on their website about opening/operating areas prior visit. However, the staff at the reception and counter were very welcoming and helpful in providing details including sections that are opened and closed. It wasn't suitable for children under 5yrs old as the staff inside the exhibition area doesn't like a child making noise with excitement or running. That's the sad part!

Very good and informative. Must visit place with kids.

Most of the attraction are closed due to covid, 45min max to go through all

Good experience. Some really interesting things can be seen.

Good but too small, need to add much things ,...

A fun way to quench the scientist inside you. They have good activities which can keep us and our kids occupied and learning at the same time.

A great place for the family or even friends! Wonderful scientific experiments with hands on examples, even during COVID

Good for kids above 5yrs old for science experiment

Amazing place in Sharjah to visit. Kids will definitely Enjoy but grown ups will be more surprised to see the experiments. We saw 4 different fabulous Shows. Thanks to Sharjah Government to put up and maintain those for visitors. we spent 4 1/2 hours but yet to see some of them. Definitely have to visit one more time.

This place is amazing 😭

Good place for visit. Small area but you will enjoy more time here.. there are many exciting things you can do. Especially your kids enjoy here. Their excitement yiu can see from their rush from one place to other. Kids get crazy here because what they studied in class they can see and experience here. You will forget the time and every moment you enjoy

Good place for little ones to explore. Some exhibits are closed due to Covid but a good experience.

Good place to go with kids. A lot of interactive scientific things. Nice electrical show. Unfortunately, the playground was closed due to the Covid restrictions... And take some food with you, the cafe menu is poor. The rest all great.

Nice

Quiet good place for kids

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum for young and old. (Original) Musée très intéressant pour les petits et grands.

Live show on static electricity in both languages for the kids.

Really enjoyed this... I use to go as a child and now I am taking my children... some parts are closed due to covid but still very nice

It was a peaceful day. No rush. Hands on santization continued while we were there too. A very interesting place with lots of working exhibits. The personal show conducted on the topic positive and negative charges was very informative. Children enjoy it as much as the adults.

My son liked the car there . It's a small place but fun for kids . There is a science show , don't miss it. The 🎫 prices are economic , 5 AED for children and 10 AED for adults . The staff are very helpful .

Good for children

There is like nothing there

A beautiful place to go feel the good vibes To teach our kids the Arab culture , history and heritage UAE 🇦🇪 is our second home

Loved the courtyard and the house design of the old emirati people. So thoughtful and encompassing. The houses even have small tiny spaces for the birds to make homes I guess.... So heavenly. The full place is full of chirping noises....

Interesting place to learn about the traditions of the UAE

One of the beautiful museum in Sharjah to visit where you get the chance to learn its heritage.

Excellent place

Very nice place but only in good weather

Location sharjah

Sharjah Govt. always patronize their culture, heritage. Its one of the symbol of this great effort.

A few nice pieces of arabic calligraphy from Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq. Be sure to go in and see the unique displays with ink on leather, Rose as the centre hilal and a huge piece of calligraphic mastery. Entrance is not obvious so park and walk in from the North nearer to al hisn Fort.

Great concept but needs attention to realize it's potential. Currently feels like a neglected project.

The art within this museum is worth seeing. A must see site

Tiny but tastefully arranged, beautiful examples of Arabic calligraphy in different scripts. As usual in Sharjah museums, nice and welcoming staff.

While the museum is small in general as area but it offers a lot of information about Arabic Calligraphy. Journey with this pure Islamic art from the past till now, also the museum offers free workshops and host some activity of the Sharjah Islamic Art festival, entrance fee is very cheap and free for kids as most of the cultural places in Sharjah, all family members will enjoy the visit and also the walk around the area.

A cute museum! Not too big! Gives a good peek into the Emirati life! Helpful staff! The temperature was too low for my kids so had to rush through the last bit! A good place to take children for sure!

Thanks for the museum to view the ancient life and tradition of emirati...learn a lot

The idea behind is to be appreciated. The museum is very interesting if you like arabic culture.

Amazing festival organized, we had so much fun watching the performance of the Armenian dance group. And the artifacts displayed in the Armenian pavilion.

It was great .They selling Arabic food which was tasty. They conducted some dances which were beautiful.

Visited last week as part of my heritage tour. Really interesting and worthy

It was pleasure to walk through this area and that took me to the past, nostalgic and historic

Good small museum.The guy at the reception can talk respectfully though (specially with women). He is supposed to serve the visitors and make them feel welcome. Hope he does not take it personally and take this review in a good spirit to better serve the visitors. Also the museum can have better coordination among security and reception staff as to the areas prohibited to visit within the museum. The security said we can access some areas and if fact the security guided us to those areas himself and opened the door for us!!! whereas reception said no we cannot access those area and spoke in an ungentlemanly manner. So a clarity would help the visitors not be confused and rudely (slightly rude though but yes rude enough for the visitors) spoken to. Rest was good except for the welcome. :) One star is for the behaviour only. Rest the museum is worth visiting once and deserves 5 stars.
