Amazing place. I loved it. All Sharjahs archeology historical and preservation. The place is a wonderfull journey through old ages.

As soon as you enter the museum you are faced with a serene and harmonious atmosphere. I was greeted by the staff in an excellent way and given the best directions to visit the museum. The rooms are large and the artifacts are harmonious and organic, interspersed with explanatory videos and signs describing the materials on display. It is also worth noting the attention paid to the didactic path and the fact that every indication is easily understandable even for children. The museum is therefore an example of exhibition and teaching, which allows visitors and scholars to meet the daily life, customs and habits of the ancient people of this beautiful country.

Loved this gem...

No one answer on telephone .so badly

Nice arranged..

Very good museum. The museum contains all the archaeological artifacts that were discovered in Sharjah.

This place can tell you a lot about the history of the people of Sharjah from the stone age, bronze and iron age, till recent territories found in Meliha and others. A library with wide collection of books are available to the public along with a museum shop and a temporary gallery. The museum is fully accessible for wheelchair users, however a cafe is missing but there are couple of options nearby.

Good short museum

I decided to go to Museum of Archeology in Sharjah for their temporary exhibition of “The Echo of Caravans: Pre-Islamic Civilization Sites in Saudi Arabia” (until Jan 31, 2019). I enjoyed this exhibition a lot and since getting a tourist visa to KSA is very difficult, I did not want to miss it. Plus KSA is a big country, it requires commitment to visit these major sites on one trip. The museum also houses many precious and significant artifacts from the archeological sites in UAE. There are many things that I love, but specifically, the gold horse bridles. The reconstruction of the tomb of Al Buhais 18 is another favorite - especially how the jewelry of one of the women buried there was excavated as it was found settling on her crushed skull. Very interesting. For archeology enthusiasts, this museum is a must-see.

A real very interesting place where the story about UAE and whole GCC past is to seen. A absolut advice to visit. With unbelievable authentique statues and founds.

I loved the Museum. Especially the grave finds with groups of scelettons in perfect shape, with their jewellery still in place. But also the rich collection of objects starting from the stone age up to late pre-islamic times. I had been out to the Mleiha Archeological Center before, which made the visit of the museum even more meaningful, having seen some of the excavation sites where the objects were found. I recommend visiting also the Mleiha Archelogical Center, which offer different activities to discover not only the archeological sites, but also experience the desert and outdoors activities of various types.

Was hoping to see a bit more. and maybe some more interactive displays.

Archeological museum have great collection of ancient remaings found in excavations around UAE. they have preserved veriety of exhibits in an Time line order. Great place for similar taste people and kids

Sharjah archaeological museum has a great collection of pottery, daggers, beads and pearl jewellery and other artefacts which were found during excavations in Sharjah, Mleiha and Kalba regions from Bronze age, Stone age and pre-Islamic era. Theres also a collection of coins from Roman and other Mesopotamian period. But I liked the Islamic Civilization museum more than this one.

Nice place to go.. full of information about stone bronze age...

This is a great place to visit. Very interesting and well laid out.

Lovely place! Not all the taxis know where this is nowdays, show them your map. Littlebit distant & peacefull. Take all the time to explore the relics, take more than 2 hours!!! The Staff is very helpful and they have this speed-dial taxi-line for your purpose.

The staff needs public speaking training

Cool museum, atmospheric. There is a Russian audio guide. Numbering is down, +2. At the entrance, an installation for children about archeology - bracelets, goblets, etc. are buried in the sand, they are offered to dig it out (there are sandbox sets). The museum is large, in every room there are video films about the era, it’s better to lay down for this time, we just looked at the exhibits, listened to the audio guide, I liked it!

Everyone knows Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates, but this museum is a bit out of the way and few people sacrifice themselves in the heat and take a trip here. It is a beautiful modern museum and will present some of the history of this part of the world.

Documentation of a long history starting from the Stone Age of the region until the beginning of the rise of the sun of Islam in the seventh century, in this museum that embraces and preserves all the antiquities that were discovered in the Emirate of SharjahTraces of the daily life of the first inhabitants of the region, through exhibits of daily life tools such as pottery, jewelry and ancient weapons, and learn about made models, interactive displays and educational films.There is much that evokes the richness of history and reflects its shine, like a gilded horse bridle dating back 2000 years that was found in the Mleiha area, and the discoveries found in the Stone Age cemetery that contain the skeletons of 500 nomadic herders.

A beautiful place that contains the antiquities of ancient times and how they live.Admission per person is AED 10

The only minus is far from the center. The museum itself is simply incredible

Very interesting museum and the entrance is very cheap, only 10 derrick.

An excellent place with full air conditioning, and it is useful for summer salvation

Atmospheric. There is an audio guide in Russian. True, the numbering is a bit confused, but when we calculated the failure algorithm in the numbers and exhibit numbers, we had a great time. We watched all the films. We examined all the coins.

If you find yourself in the emirate of Sharjah, be sure to check out

Great museum. There is an audio guide in 6 languages, including Russian. Ticket 10 dirzam adult, 5 children. It is better to visit together with the Museum of Science, near 200 meters. It is interesting both to vkromly and children. Ask at the exit to call you a taxi to the hotel. Without a local SIM card, ordering a taxi by phone will not work. 300 meters near an excellent supermarket for locals. 50 kinds of spices, a huge selection of dates, there are even carpets)

The place is beautiful and contains various effects from different eras .. The entry price is reasonable, but the employee did not tell us about the available devices to explain ..

A wonderful museum, it tells about the history of the region and Sharjah in particular.The museum contains a lot of information about the way ancestors lived in the area and their way of life.The museum holds various exhibitions every period, I recommend visiting the museum during the exhibition times.There are also various educational workshops and scientific lectures that benefit the young before the old.

A very beautiful museum to restore memory and educate future generations, as it shows the continuation of history the blessings that God has given us

This is a very nice place to get to know some of the information for the existing effects, but it would be better if the number of pieces available was increased. , Cleanliness location distinctive ...

Very beautiful museum

Peace, mercy and blessings of GodI have an artifact like no other. Sell ​​to the highest price.
