We stan Sharjah for a dose of arts and culture, so it’s great to know the museums and attractions in the emirate are welcoming visitors again.
Venues around the UAE closed earlier in the year to keep us all safe during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Now they’re back, with social distancing measures in place. Check with each venue for opening times, costs, whether all exhibits are running as normal and if you need to book tickets in advance at visitsharjah.com.
We’d suggest adding this lot to your weekend ‘to do’ list asap: Sharjah Archaeology Museum; Sharjah Science Museum; Sharjah Art Museum; Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization; Sharjah Heritage Museum; Sharjah Calligraphy Museum; Sharjah Fort (Al Hisn); Hisn Khor Fakkan; Bait Al Naboodah; Al Mahatta Museum; Sharjah Maritime Museum; Sharjah Aquarium and Sharjah Classic Cars Museum.
Many of them are the work of UK company hayley sharpe design (hsd). His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, worked with the firm over an 18-year period to conceptualise, design and deliver a series of cultural, natural history and heritage attractions, including the Islamic and Maritime Museums.
We can’t wait to visit!
