In this center you'll see the Flora and Fauna of the Arabian Peninsula. There is a special hall for nocturnal animals where you can see Owls, foxes, Blind fishes and Bats. There are halls for Insects, snakes, Birds, Rodents, and mammals like wild Cats, Sand Cats, few species of Foxes, Jackal, Lizards, striped Hyenas, wolfs, Baboons and Leopards.The entire facility is climate control. The only animals out side are the last 4 on the list but you'll be in A/C area. Every thing is labeled in Arabic and English.
The visit is very educational. The Museum is closed on Tuesday “don’t believe the web site which says Monday”. Open daily from 9- 5:30, Fridays 2-5:30. A combined ticket for the Wild life Center, The Little Animal farm for Children and SHARJAH NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM will cost you 15 DH. or 30 dirham per family. You'll probably need. At least 4 hrs to see all three centers which are next to each other. The is a little canteen next to the Baboon cage!! Phone: +971 (6) 5311999Directions: You'll need a private car. From Sharjah (25 km) just take the Airport road (aka Al-Thaid Rd) the facility is at Interchange #9. From Dubai take Emirates Road and then take right on Sharjah Airport Rd. a direction map is in the included photosWebsite: http://www.sharjahmuseums.ae/ Other Contact: http://www.sharjah-welcome.com/h

 cups to determine pearl size

You can spend a day visitng the sites @ Hertiage area in Sharjah. It will be much cheaper to buy a single ticket 15 Dh or a family ticket for 20 DH rather than buy a ticket for each site. The ticket is good for @ least 2 weeks. It would be nice if you can visit during Winter to avoid the heat. Some of these sites are excellent and some of them not so good but if you are not paying any thing more why not enter all of them. The exhibits demonstrate how simple was life and how difficult was the envioment (and still is). I enjoyed the my visit, there is some thing refreshing about walking in narrow street. If you find that to be strange. I'll leave with some pictures Directions: I have enclosed a map. Sharjah Islamic Museum is part of the Heritage area. It is hard to give direction when I really don't know where you'll be coming from. Contact me if you needed any firther assistnace with Direction.

This house was built in 1845. this house is probably the oldest one in Sharjah that still exists today. It belonged to 'Obaid bin Eisa Al-Naboodah' a wealthy pearl merchant. All Arabic houses have more or less a similar design; a small door leading to guests’ area and than to a court yard surrounded by family rooms. This house considered to be big by local standard of the time when most people couldn’t afford a brick house and used to live in tents or Areesh houses.

UAE was in south pole 3 times according to this museum in the last 300 million years.
This place is dedicated to the environment. It highlights the presence of various marine mangrove areas around the UAE, and the protected zones. It also talk about the Desert, mountains and sand. It also tells Earth's story from the big bang till today. it talks about the fossil record, the dinosaurs and other ancient animals. It highlights the geological phases of planet earth and describes the stages in which the UAE and the Arabian Peninsula went through. I was amazed to know that during the last 300 Million years The UAE was 3 times located in the South Pole!! I am looking forward to our next trip there!! It talks about continental shift, volcano, comet, solar system, galaxies. This museum is very interesting and educational with many short video presentations on various topics. There is a nice video which shows how the continents moved around in the last 500 million years.
It has nice sections on marine life. Sorry no cameras were allowed

A nice museum contains something of every thing. It had few halls including The Kaaba hall with its Kaaba Covering. The Islamic Mints Hall which has a big collection of coins covering all dates and geographical areas. There is also a manuscripts hall and an Arabesque and Ceramic Hall. All displays in Arabic and English

It helps if you know arabic but even if you don't you might enjoy getting into this museum. There is a Calligraphy school near by, you can go and watch, talk to students and teachers. Directions: Look "old sharjah sites" tip for Map, Direction, ticketing, web site and other stuff
