It's not a huge museum but it's still a well thought out and planned little area covering a very extensive expanse of the local area's history. The views are also amazing. I am really impressed by how Sharjah has preserved its history and culture, and created some absolutely amazing museums to showcase this.

Near to recently accredited UNESCO site with the evidence of human settlement since 120,000 years, the centre hosts a museum, guide tour, nature park with rescued animals found locally, and a nice museum cafe. If taking tour can spend 4-5 good hours here.

Came to a Tanweer festival, paid 600aed for camping, only to be woken up 2am with all the campers by a FULL BLOWN CONCERT. UNACCEPTABLE!! No one can sleep here. It was not even sound check for next day but random songs played via stage loudspeakers at 2-2:40am, then 6am, 6:50, 7-8am.... Do not recommend to come next years. This was a failure from organisators towards people who paid to sleep here.

And amazing journey through time, The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, bringing the region’s ancient history to life. The architecture blends beautifully with the desert landscape, making the whole experience feel connected to the land and its stories, The staff are welcoming, the layout is clear, and the artifacts are fascinating. A must-visit for anyone who loves culture, learning, and a peaceful escape into the past.

A Hidden Gem in the Desert I really enjoyed my visit to Mleiha National Park. The place is very peaceful and beautiful, with amazing desert views and mountains. The museum is small but very interesting, and I learned a lot about history and archaeology. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a great place for families and children, and also for people who love nature. I recommend bringing water, a hat, and comfortable shoes because it can be hot. I will be happy to come back again!
