THE EXPERIENCE

Discover The Flying Saucer

The Flying Saucer turns an unusual piece of Sharjah architecture into a cultural destination. Its circular roof and structure retain the character of a 1970s landmark, while restored spaces support exhibitions, reading and community events. The building’s changing uses are part of its appeal for visitors interested in the city’s design history.

Visit with the current programme in mind. A workshop, screening or exhibition can give the building a different atmosphere from a quiet architectural stop. Confirm opening and registration through the Sharjah Art Foundation before making it the centrepiece of your day. Do not expect a conventional permanent museum collection.

  • Distinctive circular architecture
  • Cultural and community programmes
  • Art library and gathering spaces
