1 / 5Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization
π Hay Al Sharq - Al Nabba, Sharjah
Explore centuries of Islamic civilization through interactive galleries featuring art, scientific discoveries, and cultural artifacts in this peaceful museum.
I recently visited the Islamic Civilization Museum, and it was truly an amazing experience. The way they present the history and achievements of Muslim civilization is incredibly impressive. One of the best parts is that, with a very affordable ticket I think around 5β10 AED you get access to excellent services and all four galleries. You can explore each gallery at your own pace, and then head to the top floor, where youβll find an absolutely stunning masterpiece. I highly recommend visiting this museum if youβre coming to Sharjah, especially if youβre someone who appreciates art and culture. Visited on

βGood to explore. It will give you insight how islam evolved with time. Very clean. You can explore it completely in 2 to 3 hours. Very few people come to visit, so its very peaceful here. Entry ticket is 10 AED if you pay by cash or 11 if you pay by card. Collect your ticket from the counter at the entrance and you can explore it. Wifi is available. I had a great evening here at museum.β

β"It an incredible experience! The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization is a must-visit in Sharjah. With over 5,000 artifacts from the Islamic world, the exhibits are truly breathtaking. I loved exploring the galleries showcasing Islamic art, science, culture, and history. The museum's architecture is stunning, and the staff were super friendly. Don't miss the zodiac mosaic below the central dome! π Entry fee is AED 10 for adults and AED 5 for kids (2-12 years). Open from 8 AM to 8 PM (Saturday-Thursday) and 4 PM to 8 PM on Fridays ."β

βI went there for academic purposes, but it was a wonderful experience! The museum doesnβt only covers artifacts within the era of Islam, but also before that with context. Really recommend when you stop by to admire the lives of decades ago.β
