THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Sharjah Archaeology Museum

Sharjah Archaeology Museum follows the region through objects left by its earlier inhabitants. Pottery, jewellery and tools give tangible shape to ancient settlement and exchange, making the museum an introduction before travelling to archaeological sites in the central region. The displays connect individual finds to the communities that made and used them.

Look for what the objects reveal about daily life, rather than treating the galleries as a collection of impressive finds alone. Families can use interpretation to discuss how archaeologists piece together evidence. Confirm organised children’s activities separately, and keep the outdoor archaeological sites for another part of the itinerary.

  • Ancient pottery and jewellery
  • Settlement and burial evidence
  • Archaeological interpretation
