Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization

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 5–10 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 you’ll find an absolutely stunning masterpiece. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you’re coming to Sharjah, especially if you’re someone who appreciates art and culture. Visited on

Good 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.

a cultural gem that offers a deep, insightful journey through the rich tapestry of Islamic heritage. Housed in a beautifully restored traditional souq building along the scenic Corniche Street, the museum itself is a stunning architectural blend of Islamic and contemporary design, with its golden dome and traditional arches making it a striking landmark. The museum is immaculately clean, well-organized, and air-conditioned—making it a comfortable escape, especially during Sharjah’s hotter months. The staff are courteous, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer questions. Entrance fees are very reasonable, and for the cultural value offered, it’s an excellent deal. It’s easy to spend 2–3 hours here if you want to explore each gallery in depth.

"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! 😊 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 ."

I went there for academic purposes, but it was a wonderful experience! The museum doesn’t 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.

A beautifully curated and well-maintained museum with stunning architecture and rich Islamic history. The exhibits are detailed, informative, and showcase centuries of art, science, and culture. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff are helpful, and it’s a great place for families and anyone interested in learning more about Islamic civilization. Truly a must-visit in Sharjah!

The museum provides an introduction to the history of the Islamic world, as well as basic knowledge of Islamic religion and science. The venue is fascinating, spacious, and beautiful. The scientific section of the exhibition features many interactive elements, which are especially interesting for children and for those interested in engineering. Visiting the entire exhibition takes approximately 2.5 hours. There are no queues, and tickets cost only 10 dirhams. A very nice place to visit.
