What an incredible place to visit. It’s a massive museum with very high standards. I was very impressed.

Amazing job for the extensive collection.You have to spend few days to cover all the museum.

Very well organized and maintained. Highly informative. It is a Must Visit place indeed

If you are interested in architecture and history...this place will be your heaven..my favourite area was the Abu Baker museum(sorry I forgot the exact name) and the explanation of Hajj, the whole process was phenomenal and very precise explanation of Mosque architecture it layout and planning, is a must watch thing...Watch my YouTube channel Knowledge Academy Teams for more information...

Been there for many timesWhenever you are around you can feel the astonishing things inside which you’ve watched beforeMust recommended for the new comers

The museum is an important cultural and touristic landmark. It is unique for its location along the Al-Majarrah Waterfront in the Heart of Sharjah and for being the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirates.I was mesmerized by its beauty.

Went there on a Friday. The Museum closes at 8 pm and we went around 7.20 pm only. So did not get much time to explore more and rushed to cover all the areas but could not. It has 2 floors and 4 galleries in total. We were able to cover only 3 of them. As we went very late, there were no one inside the museum and only we both (me and my kid) were roaming around. There is an entry ticket and it is 7 AED for adults and 5 for kids.They follow the Covid safety rules thoroughly. They checked for the temperature and gave sanitizer when you enter. Even the plastic gloves were provided by them when entering. There were stickers placed on the floors ensuring social distancing and sign boards saying not to touch anything.Overall, it is worth to visit this museum at least once to know about Islamic heritage, but ensure you have enough time to explore stuffs, as we may need at least 2 hrs completely to visit all the 4 galleries.

One Of The Most Beautiful Islamic Historical Museum In The UAE...

Went early in the morning, place was quiet and calmHad a great time getting to understand more of the islamic culture and historyHighly recommend for a cultural trip.All exhibits are in great shape

Rich with content, beautifully organized, cheap entry, I solemnly salute the responsible authorities for their services.

Very interesting museum at the Sharjah waterfront. The models of the mosques in Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem were very interesting.However, Im not sure its worth the long trip from Dubai.

I like reading about the antiquities. Some displays give better details than asking a local.

Interesting, cheap ticket and good way to know more about islamic culture. I really enjoyed the exhibition about arabic and innovation with different models of developments were done during the past. Very recommended and good museum for children too.

Very interesting museum that displays Islamic culture, history and relevance to the world. I enjoyed it quite a lot and I think it helps people understanding better Islamic culture. The building structure is very beautiful. The entrance costs 10aed and I think it is well worth the price.

Very interested and huge museum, definitely worth visiting

Very Informative... The Science and astronomy Gallery was awesome.. The Astrolabe and the protypes of machines used in ancient times for various activities... Good learning for Kids

An amazing experience by visiting this museum of Islamic culture and civilization. This museum is rich in information about Islamic culture. The architecture of this museum is really breath taking. This is a must visit place in Sharjah as a tourist or as a resident.

This place is amazing to discover more about the Islamic Civilization and their contribution to the World.It is divided into 4 section..1- Islam as a religion and an introduction about it (Ground Floor)2- Muslim Scientific contribution (Ground Floor)3- Islamic currancy dated from the Umayyed State and other islamic states that followed (Ground Floor)4- Collectibles and Antiques either Islamic or found within Islamic countries

Excellent!Dont miss the visit to this museum.

Just a 30 minute drive to Sharjah from where we were staying in Dubai. The museum is well kept and very clean. It made for a pleasant afternoon browsing the artifacts.

Interesting, cheap ticket and good way to know more about islamic culture. I really enjoyed

An exceptional building when it comes to Islam, civilization and how far innovation has come along. What truly fills you with pride when admiring these pieces are the attention to detail, the lengthy explanations to provide great detail to such magnificent eras.

Good place for people interested in history. Can easily spend 3-4 hours here in different galleries. Small children will get bored easily as they have nothing of Interest in the Museum.

Haq bhoo at jake

The Sharjah museum of Islamic civilisation is amazing , very well maintained with old things and nicely keep in sequence with proper lighting, best place to go in any season even in hot summer, cafeteria is there to refresh you to continue for first floor and other area, you have to spend more then 3 hours to see and understand the collection.

Amazing place to visit in Sharjah. Very well designed, nice ambience and having huge collection of antique pieces and objects from various domains like Science, Mathematics, Islamic and various models. A must visit place for people interested in Museums with awesome exhibition like collection.

Quite an interesting museum but I expected more based on the reviews. The Engineering and Technology gallery is excellent - with lot of working models to observe (water mills, pumps) or play with (astrolabe, quadrant). I was not that engaged in the religious and art galleries.

It was a great place to learn Islamic culture and history

Tells a lot about Islamic culture often unknown, or ignored. Islamic heritage is huge, and still felt today whether in scientific principle, language, or spirituality. Look at coins through magnifying glass on stands. Sea-faring precision leading to celestial knowledge and science, developing instruments, wood or metal.

A good art. And has shown things of old times very well. very nice.

Its a really good place for families. Has alot of information about Islamic history. You will enjoy it if u like history.

Small museum to highlight about the old Islamic culture and technology used during that period .They have very good models to explain about irrigation, timing , prayer times , level , directions, Islamic medicine, distillation, artillery and weapons.Gynecological apparatus, dental apparatus, and other medical apparatus used for surgery are also present .Coins used before by the people during that timeIts open for all faith and ticket is also very lessWorking hours : 8 am to 8 PM

We spent about 1.5 hrs visiting the museum. Strict code is required for long dresses & pants & head needs to be covered. 2 floors . Very quiet & clean. There is even a coffee shop & clean restrooms inside. Educational & interesting . Nice parking for everyone.definite place to you will want to see if you wish to understand a bit more about Islam. The museum takes you through a timeline which was quite fascinating.Thoroughly enjoyed it.

It’s amazing museum, I recommend everyone to visit it 🤗

Can enjoy and spend half day here. The building is not super big but so many interesting gallery inside. Especially technology exhibition are amazing. It would be boring for small kids like my kids but they usually have work shop from lunch time. Entrance fee is also cheap

Its really great to have a museum like this tells about the Islamic civilization and its scientific contribution, there are many sections for scientific instruments, weapons, coins, art work..etcThe entrance fee is symbolic, the staffs are kind and cooperative, in general very good experience

Must visit. Especially during this summer..but is good time to spend with your family and loved ones

One of 27 Sharjah museums where to sea and hear about Islamic civilisation, local history.Very convenient to use audio guide. In all galleries are shown numbers to switch information so not necessary to follow sequence of galleries. Very helpful staff.

Excellent place to visit with kids and explain the history of each item displayed. Spacious cafe and gift store too..... the items displayed were really good mostly replicas yet was state of art and well organized.....

The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization holds thousands of rare and important Islamic artifacts,you can admire the timeless achievements of Islamic civilization and its universality, learn about aspects of Islamic faith, science, discoveries and culture, and cherish the beauty of Islamic art.

A very special place, rich in history, faith, art, culture, heritage and spirituality. A museum absolutely to visit.The Museum of Islamic Civilization is a useful place to discover and understand the values ​​of Islamic faith and culture, the influence it has had and still have in the world, respecting a tradition shared by millions of people. On the ground floor, some thematic paths illustrate the fixed points of the Islamic faith, the great results of astronomical, medical, engineering and geographical studies. Upstairs are collected, in four sections, objects of art and culture, weapons, models, fabrics and clothes. In the first room an audiovisual helps to understand what will be seen in the Museum. Finally, on the second floor, in a very well furnished room, you can admire, painted on the ceiling, the entire series of the constellations of the zodiac. I believe that visiting this museum is important and very useful to anyone visiting Sharjah and the United Arab Emirates. The visitor comes out spiritually enriched by this experience. The Museum staff is extremely competent, kind and willing to explain to visitors the best way to visit the Museum.

A nice place which contains the remains of Islamic history. They have divided the museum into several sections to categorize. 10 AED is the ticket price and its worth it

It’s one of the best place to visit with kids to tonknow more about Islamic civilization

One of the most beautiful museums I’ve ever seen - proud being a muslim

The museum is about the Islamic civilization and all the discoveries of the golden age.

An informative museum which has a total of 6 sections centred around the scientific discoveries made by Muslim scholars throughout the ages and the basic pillars of faith in Islam. The galleries on the first floor house a huge collection of pottery, metal work, battle armament, mosiac work and paintings. There is also a huge coin collection in one wing though the work of some prominent Islamic dynasties are missing.Worth a visit.

The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization is one of 16 museums in Sharjah...This building with its uniques dome and Islamic architectural design was not designed to be a museum. It was a small old market/Souq. However, it was re-opened as a museum in 2008. I always remember the old souq with its tiny shops, Old Memories 😌It will cost you around 3 USD to reveal tons of interesting facts about more than 5000 objects and instruments representing the Islamic footprints in the history of human civilizationThe museum has 7 sections including 6 galleries and The Dome highlighting 1000 Years of Islamic Innovations and contributions in different fields such as Science, technology, architecture, medical, calligraphy and lifestyle starting from the birth of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) until the 19th centuryThere are 2 galleries in first floor. the first one highlights Briefing about Islam, the Fastest Growing Religion and the pillars of Islam Faith in different areas such as worshipping, charity, relations and educations. Old calligraphy for the holy Book Quran is found in this section highlighting different verses of with description. The second hall displays the most important achievements and contribution of Muslim Scientists and Thinkers in different fields such as Math, Space Science, medical Science, philosophy and other areasThe second floor has 4 halls which highlight the effects of cultural and innovation exchange between Islamic Civilization and other Civilizations all over the world in different fieldsThe last section of the museum is This stunning Mosaic Dome which illustrate the Star Constellations Zodiac 🌠💫The museum has also a library, a cafe and a gift shop. You may also some luctures and workshops arranged if you are intersted.

Amazing place to see the historical achievements of Muslims.

Definitely worth to visit this place.View of Our precious Islamic history is really engaging which reminds us of that old ancient time.Ancient Islamic history is presented here in a unique beautiful way also Museum is designed using best architectural skills.Visit recommended!

Nice peaceful place ...I like it but some of the gallery items are repeated and just not given enough information ... But still a good place to know the Islamic culture and things used in good old days ... If you are visiting Sharjah then you must go

Amazing place to visit on weekend , great collection of various civilisation.

Museum was great! Not too crowded. Staff is polite and courteous, but needs a little more training in the artefacts. But otherwise a great experience. The kids did enjoy the Cafeteria/Cafe.

Beautiful museum that describes the Islamic culture and history definitely worth a visit.

Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, nestled along a waterfront in an impressive souq, allows one to dive deep into the roots of Arab and Islamic culture. With the exhibits spanning over two floors, visitors learn about the rituals, artefacts, textiles and more.The galleries on the ground floor exhibit various angles of Islamic faith, from their scientific accomplishments in astronomy and mathematics to their rituals and significance of the hajj. The upper floor galleries feature the timeline of 1400 years of art and artefacts of Islamic culture. The exhibits at the upper floor include woodworks, ceramics, clay, glass, pottery, jewellery, textiles and handicrafts with silver, gold and, brass inlay work. A coin collection of silver dinars and dirhams from Abbasid and Omayyad eras as well as zodiac mosaic below the central dome are among the key highlights of the museum.

An amazing and educational experience not to be missed. A must visit museum to add to your cultural and educational tour of Sharjah and the Arab world.This is the second time we have been to this museum and there is so much to see. The building itself is gorgeous and old world. The Islamic culture and transition throughout the ages exhibit is in the four galleries on the first floor. The ground floor hosts the reception, the science and technology gallery, the Islamic faith gallery, the gift store and cafe.My favorite part of the museum is the gallery for science and technology which has many interactive models to demonstrate scientific, astronomical and mechanical concepts.Free Wi-Fi is available after a purchase at the cafe.Its so very cheap with entry tickets of Dhs10 for adult and Dhs5 for children. They only accept CASH in both the ticket office and the cafe.Photography is permitted.

A must see place in Sharjah, went thinking can cover the museum in 1 hour but took me close to 4 hours to complete the entire 5000 artefacts. Please ask for audio which is provided free on request, something i missed. Also wifi is part of the ticket and details provided in the ticket, again something i overlooked. Exhaustive science museum providing models about astronomical and mechanical tools and devices.

The place is very well maintained. If you want to see all the galleries, it will take approximately 2 hours. Entry fee is 10 Dhm for adults and the staff is quite helpful. It is quite informative and depicts traditional equipments , culture, scientific instruments, etc of Islamic heritage.
