The Museum is located inside a historic house, carefully restored and combines historical exposure with images of everyday life of the past. Some rooms summarize the history of pearl fishing and the wealth that came from the collection of pearls. From the end of the 19th century until the 1930s, Sharjah experienced a period of wealth because the pearl trade was profitable and everyone worked. Then, when pearls began to be cultivated in Japan, prices went down and there was a great crisis, completely overcome only with the discovery of oil. The visit is carried out by visiting the rooms that open onto the courtyard, in some of which the rooms of the past have been reconstructed: a kitchen, a bedroom, other rooms. Then continue to the upper floor, where there was the summer bedroom, designed to be cooler. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The visit opens reflections on the history of Sharjah and helps to better understand the lives of its inhabitants.
Museum that talks about one of the most successful traders of Sharjah, the economy of Sharjah and how pearls used to be one of the most valuable commodities of trade for Sharjah before the Japanese discovered how to make pearls artificially.

Such an interesting site and restored with passion for the detailed. The history of the Naboodah family and of Sharjah is explained in this small museum. You can easily feel the old times :)
Bait AlNaboodah museum reflects to the visitors how the luxurious and unique houses decorated on the past, and its have a lot of information about the pearl industry and how does it effect the region. I recommend you to visit it.
Good place to visit with kids, family, or friends. It is a house of someone, that now become a museum. The architecture design is beautiful. There are a lot of room, a lot of things, picture, etc that show us about the history of the place. The place is clean, but not too big, and not all room opened. They also will serve us the traditional coffee and tea. But i feel not comfortable, because the security always following me and other people everywhere we go.
Most of the rooms are locked as they are used by management team.one of the oldest houses in sharjah. Good knowledge for heritage.But its not worth visiting such place specially. Well its ok if you visit is just passing by that area.
