⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very nice experience at the Sharjah Archaeological Museum. We were expecting to pay for the entrance for 4 people, but since we were visiting with two parents over 60 years old, the staff informed us that the entry was free, which was a very thoughtful gesture. The welcome was warm and the staff were very kind and professional. The visit was pleasant and informative, with many interesting insights into the history of stones, ancient civilizations, and the people who discovered them. On our way out, a staff member kindly offered us Arabic coffee and LaBelle chocolate, which was a lovely and unexpected touch. We visited as a family of four and felt truly well received. A well-organized, welcoming, and enriching museum. Highly recommended.
