It is nice to spend 2 hours visiting the museum, having a good coffee at the coffee shop and finally horse back riding. All is so new and well maintained. People are helpful and happy to welcome you at arrival. Recommended for visit in the evening, before the sunset, or early in the morning.

Mleiha archeological center is a good spot to visit with family. The place has a stable where you can watch horses trained and if required you can take a ride by paying.We have spotted group of deer.The sunset view was really good.The site offer a guided safari which need to be paid separately.

The Mleiha Archaeological Centre is a very interesting historical site and well worth to visit. The exhibition shows fantastic artefacts found in the region, and also about the people in the area. A MUST VISIT in my opinion.

Amazing place which enlightens us with the history of this Arabian landscape. This place e is a must visit for all Kids and parents to understand the History of the country we live in. Clear descr6of the ages. They have visitors packages as well. I am attaching some snaps for your read.

Beautiful restaurant with organic farm eggs for breakfast and lovely scenery from the restaurant. Good service friendly staff and really delicious food all day. Weather is better in summer than city. Great archeological place to visit and enjoy your afternoon tea or coffee either indoor with all glass wall restaurant or outdoor seating.

The museum is really interesting, even to those not particularly interested in archaeology.The actually site however can only be walked in winter due to the ambient temperature.There is also a very nice cafeteria and a small library.The car parking is shaded.For the last 2-3 km Google Maps may take you (wrongly) through a non-asphalted road, but you will still get there…of the road are (but any vehicle can go).Entrance fee: 40 AED.

Visited the museum one fine February afternoon. Exhibits were interesting but it felt like could have showcased more. Maybe they’ll do that in the future 😄?Since I came on an afternoon, the place wasn’t crowded. I was able to take my time reading and admiring the exhibit.Too bad I visited on a whim and didn’t plan anything. Mleiha Archaeological Centre offers trips to the sites of the archaeological discoveries etc. I’ll come back in the future and will do the trip/s definitely. This place is a treasure trove of education and information on how our ancestors intelligently lived and thrived without all the modern tech we have right now.

Its always magical to touch a structure, standing for over 8,000 years... Mleiha definitely worth a visit. Combine this with a hike to the Fossil Rocks and you have a great day outdoors.

Mleiha center offers lots of activities in Mleiha desert one of unique places in Emirates which is very beautiful and has a deep history, I loved the sunset camp which is a very nice place to gather with family or friends you can request a private camp and you will have someone that will assistance you and fulfill your requests, you can add dunes buggy, star gazing , horse riding, trekking and other nice activities, you can request a buffet dinner or bring your food and they will prepare the grilling area.

Lovely small museum, it has so much more to give than you would think. There is covered parking, then you walk 1 minute to the building entrance, your are welcomed by extremely friendly staff and explained how it works and what it has to offer. The museum does tours and events when you book in advance. Entrance tickets were very reasonable. I think it was 25 per adult and 15 per child up to 12 years, but not 100% sure anymore. The museum is not very big but kept us busy for 1 hour. Everything is very well labeled and explained, all screens are working, there is a video in english and Arabic, lots of artefacts and many written explanations. We took our time and read it all. It end after the iron age. there is also a very nice cafe, with a menu and prices like any very good cafe in Dubai. Its called maleiha Cafe. We didnt buy anything but planned it for another time. We could have explored the outside but we came at lunch time in March and it was too hot then. Restroom facilities are super clean. Definitely worth a visit.

What a place 😍 amazing archaeological site in Mleiha it’s a must to visit. They have a wonderful museum, cafe, caves, and mountains with small sites to visit. You can stay over night in the camp site, do Horseriding, and dune bashing in buggies.Recommended sports, or comfortable clothing to walk, sun hat, sunglasses and bottled water. You’ll need it.The cafe has wonderful fresh smoothies, and delicious kale & avocado salad.Having so much fun #visitsharjah #visituae

Mleiha Archaeological Center depicting earlier human life, living & varieties of artefacts. The Center with beautiful landscape, knowledge centre, cafeteria, 🐎 Stables, Buggy self drive adventure, many adventure packages and hiking to caves is a wonderful place to enjoy. Place is worth to visit, Very neat n clean and good wash rooms.

We booked a full day tour via the Mleiha Archaeological Centre.It was a magical experience starting off with a visit to the museum, learning about the history of Mleiha 130,000 years ago!Followed by a hiking trip to explore fossils and the fortress nearby.Ended up the trip with camping 🏕 with activities set up by the center such as stargazing, soft archery, sand bashing and exploring the area and it’s treasures!

What a fabulous idea of bringing history to life. Ivan had patience and knowledge and made the workshop fun and interactive. There was an exhibition before that and we came back with our own casts of fossils. Will go back when the weather is cooler so you can go to the site and look for real fossils. What fun.

Far away from the city.. amazing experience, great for children and family. They have horse riding activities, dune bashing, stargazing activities, a museum and a cafe. Im sure there there was a lot more but we didn’t have more time unfortunately! Recommend for families with young children.

What an amazing experience! We had an iftar at Mleiha this week after a rainstorm. The ambience sitting outside with the fresh smells after the rain was unforgettable. We then quickly toured the museum after eating. Definitely learned a lot about how this land has evolved over the past 15 years. Definitely recommend.

Such an amazing destination! Best place in the UAE to learn about the history of the region, enjoy the desert adventures, and to know the hospitality. Museum tours, Sunset Lounge Experience and the star gazing at the night - Travellers shouldnt miss.

Visited this beautiful and serene archeological site today and was surprised with the whole setting...It had a lot to offer if you’re into history and stuff, the museum is a short and brief tour with a couple of video sessions. You can also do a tour on your own vehicle or get a full experience from the team.The last 5 min ride to this archeological site is quite bumpy ride with no proper road, so a good 4x4 vehicle would be apt for the ride...overall a nice experience and enjoyed the site..

Great day out with the family, the kids get to learn more about the UAE and explore outdoor.

A wonderful experience of the desert of Arabia and also the of history of this place. A must visit place.

I always come to the centre for variety of adventure since it opened! My favorite tour guides are Ajmal Hassan & Mr Atoui very very knowledgable and sweet staff. The receptions too are very helpful and very hands on for any booking and information guide. I recommend that you pre-book a week in advance in heavy season which is winter also stargazing here is wonderful!

It took me less than 30 minutes from University City Sharjah to reach Mlieha Archaeology centre.  It’s a short tour if you don’t look at the info given with the exhibits but if you are interested in UAE history, you’re going to love this place.Well maintained centre with neat and clean washrooms, prayer rooms and cafeteria. This cafeteria is famous for its food and coffee.I also visited nearby tombs and wadi caves that are thousands of years old. These are not proper caves as there is very little space inside and it is advised not to enter these as there is a high danger of getting stuck or being injured by hard rocks.Admission ticket cost for the archaeological museum per family is 55aed.

Very interactive experience and a great place to kindle interest of archeology in kids. Nice amenities and a must visit place.

Around 55 minutes from Al Nahda 1 Dubai. Travel of 5 minutes inside from main road. Small museum and entry fees is 25 AED per person and visit is optional. You can visit the ancient tomb, deer place, horse stable without entry fees. Western mountain side can be explored freely.

I wish it was bigger and maybe advertised more. We got here for Eid holidays and it was open and the staff were helpful. The museum has some really unique artifacts from the space around the museum, eye opening ones too.The cafe is really good even as a standalone visit.

Enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of Fossil Rock Mountain. A hike to the top of the mount Mleiha towards to the Fossil rock with beautiful backdrops of Al Fayah mountain. The difficulty of the hike can be rated as moderate as it involves a part where you have to climb vertical rock of around 2 to 3 meters high. Enjoyed : sunrise 🌅, 🐪 camels, dune bashing buggies, 🦌 deer and off road drive..... 🏔

Absolutely mesmerising experienceProfessional guides and archaeological sites to remember.

Amazing view and an off roading beauty trail to add. This place is no doubt in the list for places to visit in UAE for those looking to have an escape from all the hustles. 💯💯

It has potential but needs a lot of improvement. The museum is 25 aed and its quite small. There are no signs to redirect you from the museum to the other places of interest around the area. Also, its not really safe for those that visit the wadi/caves area. The paths are ready to give way anytime and someone can get hurt by falling rocks. But the area is beautiful!

A unique desert archaeological centre in Mleiha.Home to an Archaeological museum and several excavation sites and artifacts.Hosts unique stargazing experiences with real astronomers.

Tried the bike tour around the caves. The guide was amazing and gave us a lot of information about the history of the area and the formation of the rocks. It is best to book it in winter time (Oct-Feb), otherwise it will be too hot for this kind of tours.Love the small cafe as well, a nice place to chill and have a quick snack after the tour.

Overall a great experience! A different concept from the usual desert safari. You actually got to see caves from 100,000 years ago. The cafe at the museum was good as well. Best coffee and chicken tikka tacos I have eaten.

Perfect picnic for kids.Worth visiting

Great experience to go with friends and family. Went overnight and the camp is pretty nice. Staff is extremely friendly, we even got taken into their back rooms to see some items that were not in display.Star gazing was very educational. depending on what time of year you go, you may see a lot or little. best thing to do is call ahead and ask the geologist, they will be very helpful. Camp site was really nice, as they had a fire pit, a big carpet to lay down on and separate tables for each group for meals. Tents are regular size, could fit up to 3 people. They will provide an air mattress and sleeping bag (no pillows). washrooms are in decent condition for a caravan.only down side is that the meals are not that tasty,

Such a gem just an hour away from Dubai!100% professional and enjoyable experience from the initial booking request to the departure at the end. Great care is taken by the entire team to make sure, guests have the best possible experience. Great knowledge, great people with a lot of passion for nature, great hospitality, delicious food, beautiful set up campsite and all the guest has to do is to show up and enjoy. Special thanks to Abdullah and the team behind the scenes who made our experience so perfect from sunset to moonrise to moonset to sunrise.

Well organized archaeological centre in the region to learn about Paleolithic Era ca. 120,000 years ago. The visitor Centre and tomb display are together. You can also drive 5min to visit caves.

Very nice and quiet place, all staff are so gentle.

Amazing place. Stable is just one of the best in UAE.

Very nice facility, very friendly and welcoming staff. Good stable for horse ridding in the desert and horse ridding lessons by professional trainers. Very safe environment. Good experience of desert hacking to see the very old rocks and especial red sand desert. One emergency SUV also moves along with desert hacking group. After ridding they serve very nice tea ,coffee and soft drinks, very good hospitality, highly recommended place to visit.

If you are looking for a place that has history, fun, adventure, relaxation, beautiful sunset and sunrise views and yummy food then this place will surely amaze you! There are so many things to discover in Mleiha as well as as great activities such as camping, horse riding, sand bikes, camel rides, trekking and sand dunes rides, star gazing and much more! Request for Ajmal or Faisal if you need a guide. Honestly all guides are amazing!! One visit will never be enough for this place 🌟

Best desert experience!Simply amazing! Ive been on a few tours in the desert and this one beats them all. We took the Sunset lounge escape and the desert buggy dune bashing and had so much fun. The team and especially our guide - Shihab took such a good care of us every step of the way. They were very attentive and catered to our every need. Thank you.

Amazing place with killer views. So serene and beautiful sand dunes. A photographers heaven. If you love desert scapes you will love it here. Arrive a bit early and hike up to the peaks and enjoy the sunset!

We really enjoyed Iftar organised by this place. It was really unexpected! Such a big difference to all busy hotel-run buffets in Dubai.The team was very helpful, gave us a warm welcome and the food was great!Big thanks guys and keep up great work!

A very nice place showing the historical side of UAE - Sharjah , the place is a good road for cars to go to .. no need for a 4x4 .. the covered parking is very very tight unless you park in the open area .. once u go in the center is very clean and feels like its just opened .. the center it self is small but rich with information, the treasure is to get the extra activities they provide ... visiting the actual historical locations within 4km radius with camping and stargazing..etc there is a nice cafe in the center and if you got a 4wheel drive there is a nice place to to offroad behind.

You MUST go!If you are in the UAE, the Mleiha Archaeological Centre is an absolute MUST go-see-do! The centre brings together the best of all worlds.*Nature, flora, fauna*The centre is located in the picturesque desert of Sharjah where the majestic, golden dunes sweep against rocky outcrops that date as far back as 70-90 million years. These are home to a plethora of fossils. There is also desert wildlife – as a quick look at the tracks in the dunes will reveal the nocturnal hunts of the Arabian red fox. The Mleiha landscape is also dotted with flora – some indigenous to the UAE like the ghaf and sidr trees.*Adventure*You can learn about all these things and more through the different tours they offer. There is also desert exploration in a 4X4 – a gentle ride, or dune bashing or a dune buggy tour for the adrenaline junkie. We’ve enjoyed both options in a 4x4 and the hair-raising, scream-inducing dune bashing is a favorite of mine.You can also explore the outcrops – Fossil Rock and Camel Rock – in other ways. You can trek or go on horseback. In addition to the horseback tours, the centre offers training as well. I’ve started those and the trainer Ahmed Sarhan is excellent: gentle, patient, firm, attentive, present, and clearly passionate about horses.If you’re like me and you can’t get enough – you have the choice of camping overnight. It is great! You just show up and they have everything ready for you: tent with inflatable mattress and sleeping bag, majlis seating area - both covered and under the stars - a campfire set-up, dinner with grills, dips, and salads, and breakfast in the morning. I can’t say enough how fulfilling this experience is.*History, archaeology, geology*You can also learn about the precious archaeological finds at the centre’s excellent museum. Honestly, there is so much to learn, I’d like to keep going back – and take copious notes! The reason why this particular site is unique, not just in the region, but in the world, is because it has not one, but TWO Stone Age settlements: Paleolithic and Neolithic. In addition to this, the centre has some outdoor archaeological sites too, all worth a visit, like Umm an-Nar Tomb and the Bronze Age Tombs at Jebel Faya.You can also learn a lot about the region’s tectonic past through the rock outcrops throughout Mleiha. They tell a fascinating story. Picture yourself on a mountain, placing your palm on the fossilized shell of a marine creature from 70 million years ago. It’s mind-blowing.*Astronomy*There’s tech too in the form of a powerful telescope. We don’t just look at the earth, we also look at the skies. The centre offers stargazing and if it’s your kind of thing and have a smart phone or camera with you, you can take incredibly beautiful photos of the moon through the telescope. If you’re a passionate photographer, there’s plenty to photo document during the day and night. The last time we went our guide used his camera lens to zoom into the nest of Bonellis’ eagles high on top of one of the mountains. We even heard the chick’s cries echoing during the night as we sat around the campfire.*Workshops*As if it weren’t enough to experience all this wondrousness first hand, the centre also offers a variety of workshops.*In conclusion*All these are available in both readymade and customizable packages.I first went to Mleiha with family and friends in 2015 and I’ve kept going back. There is so much to see, do, learn, and the centre keeps updating and upgrading the experiences so that every time we go there we are so comprehensively enriched, we just can’t wait for the next time! Through it all, we’ve had the expert guidance of Anurag Amin whose knowledge and passion for the region’s history, geology, archaeology, and wildlife are in itself a pleasure to experience. Over the years Anurag has organized and lead our experiences at Mleiha with dedication and excellent attention to detail.It’s not an exaggeration to say that when we have visitors, we make sure we take them to Mleiha for an unforgettable experience.

Great place to visit with children. The site which used to be the bottom of the ocean has actual fossils for them to discover. It is also a place where tectonic plates meet!!We also did a great activity where they made their own fossils. but would advise going only when the weather is cooler. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable which comes through when they show and tell visitors about their fossil collection.Bring a hat and be ready to walk in some sand and rocks.

If you are keen to know/learn about iron age, bronze age, this is the place to be. Sedans and SUV can go easily. The whole attractions are spread into eastern and western side - the tombs, caves, wadi, palace, forts, rocks etc. This location is beautifully maintained, perfect gateway from the busy city life. There is a coffee shop aswell. Posters are exhibited here inside main centre. It is AED 25 per person and Family AED 55. The place also offers many attractions like sunset, dessert camping which needs to be pre-booked through website/call. There are more archaeological sites in the neighbourhoods

It is nice to visit if you are in the vicinity, you can definitely tell that a lot of effort has been made to create this heritage site. You get to see some of the history and archaeology of the area of Mleiha in Sharjah but it is quite the drive to get there and the exhibition could be a bit larger to make this a more attractive tourist destination.

So are you interested in some nature?If yes, Mleiha is a hidden gem in Sharjah, you can enjoy their tours around some ruins, caves and Camel Rock. For a more relaxing experience you can book their Sunset Lounge for your family or friends.

The archeological site is sorrounded by several exploration trails which bring to other sites complemented with clear wayfinding and signage but somehow that is not clear while visiting the centre and nobody would give you advice since they are trying to sell their own overpriced packages. Plan your visit carefully and you can enjoy much more exploring the sorrounding

Pleasantly surprised. A beautiful center surrounded by the mountains. The Center is modern and layer out nicely. Not to big and easy to walk around.

The Archaeological Centre offers few tours and camping option. But I consider the price for camping is too much (350 dirhams per person - 94.5 USD per person). The prices for visiting the Fossil Rock are alright (165 dirhams per person-44.5 USD per person). Right behind the Centre, you can camping for free with your own rrsources. If you go for the free camping option (no in the centre but by you own resources), you can wake up and go to the Archeological Center cafeteria and have an amazing breakfast (highly recommend it) this option.

Good place to hang out with family and friends who love arceiological sites

I’ve ran here twice and I just live this place! Greta place to train for trail runs

If looking to spend some time away in a quiet place with nature around its the placeMeliha Cafe with all meal options and couple of hot and cold drinksPlenty places to sit in and outWith a small area of historical findings from Bronze Era, Tomb and morePlenty of activities to do just need to call in advance and prices are within reachParking plots available plus 2 electric car charges available onsiteNatural sand dunes and Meliha mountain is nearbyInteresting place for adventuresTrekkingBuggy ridingSand dashingCave seeingCampingBike ridding

A lovely place to explore and learn. Had a wonderful time spending time with at the stable. Definitely visit this place during winter

Archaeological museum.. Offers camping experience.. Contains restaurant, cafe, pray rooms, kids play area and main facilities.. Recommended

Nice collection but looks-less because if drive from dubai to there to see something ancient ,you should have more to see and understand, some them to be made for half of day to start till end and people must be be feel that how people reach there from Africa.

It was an amazing experience visiting the museum. The museum is with beautiful landscape, knowledge centre and a cafeteria. Its worth a visit.

Mleiha Archaeological Center is a great place to explore, have a great amount of ancient artifacts , very informative. Also they have a really nice coffee place that serves breakfast and lunch , highly recommend.

Hidden away near Fossil Rock, is the Maleiha Archeological centre. Its a fantastic place to stop by and learn about the history of the region. Theyve got a great restaurant for coffee and lunch.

Nice desert to camping 🏕 With family

It’s a good way to know about the UAE archeology. Spending one hour in the center, and after sundown going outside around it is better.

Its a great driving experience if you need to visit camel rock you need a 4x4

Nice little tour before going out in the dessert, a nice collection of archaeological fossils and tools found in the area.

They used to serve amazing steaks and other great dishes, theyre not available anymore, what they serve now is very basic and boring. In addition to that the outdoor area is full of flies. The museum however is really nice and modern we loved it

The golden dune of Sharjah, really beautiful view and jumping in the dune quite fun with the story telling guide well impressive!relax in desert Mountain View.

The place is very interesting to visit, and it’s underrated, tourists don’t come here often but people who visit Mleiha should come here. The only reason I am not giving this a 5 star is because younger kids wouldn’t particularly enjoy this.

Horseback riding is amazing. Thanks for Nirmal and Ibrahim! Highly recommended.

Beautiful mountain range around it. The tombs that I wanted to see were actually supposed to be in another location that you need to drive to away from the center. Following the directions from the agent there, we tried to locate the tomb but couldnt as no signage as well as no location pin on the map for the tomb. This is a place better visited in winter as you need to walk around a bit.

Great place for historical information about the area, and a very good experience for the children

A very good experience to understand UAE history..

The best place for a weekend trip

You need to pay 25 aed for the museum, does not worth it at all, u cab see all in 10 min... go to the Louver instead for 30 aed and u will be amazed and cant finish it it 2 hours

Great history and very well created and managed tourist site. Should market it more as it is a world class exhibit. Friendly staff too.

Serene place. Variety of adventurous packages available. Camping, trekking, sunset lounge! A must visit place for archaeological lovers.

Over all its good experience but I feel ticket is over priced . Spending 55aed for family of 4 just to watch a 3 minute movie or few artefacts is not worth .Horse care taker was very polite and helpful shared the knowledge about the horses ,horse riding and their eating habits which was helpful for children and adults.

I recommend to visit the place. The museum is well done and they have a fantastic team of paleontologist who will accompany you to the different sites. You can also organize desert tours and camps there.

We came by this way on the way back from Hatta Dam. The building is in the middle of nowhere - at least that was how we felt because we took a dirt road via Google Maps to get there, and suddenly this large modern brown complex appeared. Proper large parking spaces. Well placed signages. We have been to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Manarat Saadiyat, and this feels like a miniature version of it.Would highly recommend this place for history buffs. The museum has an indoor exhibit area (aed25 per entry for adults) with pieces from Palaeolithic, to Neolithic, Bronze then Iron ages, pre-Islamic and to modern Islamic times now. The pieces are carefully curated to show the culture and rituals of that era. Am amazed there is such a rich collection here. Set aside about an hour plus for the indoor museum.The cafe was beautiful with floor to ceiling glass walls to let the light in. Not much more expensive than the typical cafes in Dubai. We had the pulled chicken burger, which was delicious.Do not miss the outdoor sites around this centre. We spent well over 3 hours driving around exploring. Bring plenty of sunscreen and drinking water.Noticed that they have also outdoor activities like organised camping and off road biking tours. Sounds great to tie in with this visit and make it two days road trip here.

Hello everyone who is following me dont forget to come with your friends and family to visit Mleiha Archeological centre where you are going to see old remains and dont forget to have fun with the features found in Mleiha mountains .Come and enjoy the weekend . Its located in Mleiha Sharajah UAE

Great place to go with kids. Small visitors center but good to know about what paleo life was like. The caves and wadi hikes are good and easy to do with kids.

Great place and a lot of culture!!

A truly professional session arranged by the teams. Recommend to go for guided tours and packages as then you will see the real value of the place. Amazing destination for enthusiastic kids with fun filled learning.

Amazing hidden spot in all this concrete. The center is huge. The personnel, Mr. Ajmal and Mr. Nihar specially, were very professional, prompt to help, knowledgeable and kind. My husband and I stayed at the overnight camping and we truly loved it. Definitely coming back.

Very interesting place in a beautiful and wild environment. Really worth it. And the restaurant is very good and fresh.

A magical place. with nature, mountains to dream of. ...and as an insider tip: the best restaurant/cafe in the museum for Vegan food

Its nice place for family outing on a nice rainy weather

Love this place and always feel part of history while there.Almost all my guests coming to Dubai, visit there. I drive them and show museum and enjoy.

Must visit , interesting and great knowledge.

If interested in history a must visit place....for others its a great place to visit especially with ur family. UAE has always taken care of its history and heritage. Its nice to see how they have blended technology with history.

A great place to study the history and to know about ancient Arab culture

For those interested in history, this is a great place to visit. It covers some of the excavations from different ages from the Mleiha area.Parking is available outside and visitors can avail of a buggy ride from the main gate, although it is just a 5-minute walk. Adults have to pay 25aed and children between the age of 3-12yrs have to pay 15aed for entry. Family offer of 2 adults and 2 children for 55aed is also available.The centre has artifacts displayed from different eras. The interesting fact is that the area is an ongoing excavation site. From coins to tombs, vessels to jewellery, videos to interactive educational screens, it is worth a visit for understanding the history of the land.It is worth mentioning that the center is quite small and even with a lengthened visit, it shouldnt take you more than an hour. There is also a cafe at the exit.

On of the most amazing place in the historical place, thanks to the wonderful team Mr. MOHD Alshamsi, croydon, Shihab, Anish, Muqeem and al. Top services

Very nice place for tent camping and star gazing, mainly for families that want to camp with a clean bathroom on site and without the hassle

There is good signage to locate the place and the roads arent paved but are easy to use without 4x4. The facilities are clean and nicely done but customer service is poor and the overall experience is lacking. Once in the center, there are few signs and it is hard to understand and appreciate what you are seeing as a visitor.Their pamphlets are only in Arabic and the people working behind the counter in the center did not speak to us, welcome us, or acknowledge us until we tried to walk into the area you need to pay to enter. There was no sign that says what that area was or that you need to pay to enter. We chose not to pay as we didnt know what we would be paying for. It was clear the workers did not care if they had any visitors or not. I suppose the pay is the same either way.We drive to the cave and tomb sites easily without 4x4 and it Samir short hike and drive. Again, good signage is available in English. There really not much to look at and one area is fenced off so you cant really see what you are looking a .Overall, I wouldnt go out of my way just to visit this place. The cafe was a delightful surprise and beware of Sharjah flies.

You can get answers for any question in your mind about Mleih, and they can arrange for you a tour or camping.

Amazing place , quite city , simplicity, well established Archaeology centre ( only need asphalt road last 200 meter) with amazing projector to present the story of human from start. Place that touch the heart with nature . Lovely well informative museum ( disclose with all era ) . Good place for family but prefer if you have 4x4 car . We enjoyed dunes and safari with my 4x4 car . Road to Mleiha stunning ( clean & smooth with many petrol stations and cafeteria) . Nice people and welcomed. Lovely coffee shop attached to centre. Only one advice if they can enlarge the museum and include all kind of wild life.

Really nice spot for a family visit. If you have a 4WD there lots to explore in the mountains and desert to the west (Fossil Rock area). The centre itself is educational and well run, theres a really nice cafe and its in a beautiful setting. Definitely recommend it.

This is very nice place, with beautiful view around. And very knowledgeable , good to know the history about this place.

Mleiha is a great place to learn about pre-Islamic history, visit some historical sights, do dune bashing and star grazing.We went for the Adventure package which includes all the above activities and dinner in the desert camp and can be found on Entertainer.We had a truly amazing experience which wouldnt have been so rich without a friendly and experienced staff of the Mleiha Archeological centre.Prabhakaran walked us through the Centre and historical sights sharing his knowledge of Mleiha history during the day and shown the star constellations, Moon and his favourite star Saturn through the huge telescope in a desert camp later at night.Shihab navigated the dunes as if he was driving a highway and made us feel really safe throughout our journey. We visited Fossil rock and debated for quite a while on the shape of the Camel rock. Later in the evening he drove us to the desert camp where we had a tasty dinner.If you are looking to discover new places in the UAE, Mleiha is definitely worth paying a visit and can be easily organized in a day trip with help of the Centre. Just book in advance!
