Sharjah Art Museums Day Trip

My Sharjah Art Adventure

I still remember my visit to Sharjah on a sunny Friday, 17th February, when I decided to take a break from Dubai's hustle and bustle. My driver, Khalid, took me to the Emirates Museum, which costs around 10 AED to enter. And, I must say, it was a great decision. The museum's unique collection of artifacts and exhibits showcasing the history of the UAE won't disappoint you.

Getting to Sharjah

So, you can easily reach Sharjah from Dubai by taking a taxi or the metro from Union Station, which takes about 30 minutes. Look, the traffic might be a bit crazy, but it's definitely doable. You'll pass by some interesting landmarks like the Dubai Creek and the Sharjah Corniche.

Must-Visit Museums

Here's the thing: Sharjah has a plethora of amazing art museums that you should not miss. The Sharjah Museum of Art, for instance, is a must-visit, with an impressive collection of contemporary art from around the world. Honestly, I was blown away by the diversity of the exhibits. But, what really caught my attention was the Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, which is dedicated to the art of Arabic calligraphy — and it's completely free to visit.

Practical Tips

When visiting these museums, make sure to plan your day according to their opening hours, as some of them close early. For example, the Emirates Museum is open from 8 am to 2 pm, and the entrance fee is around 10 AED. If you're looking for more cultural experiences, you can check out the Dubai Half-Day City Tour, which includes a visit to the Dubai Museum. You can also consider a fun day out at Yas Island or take in the views at Sky Views Dubai. And, don't forget to try some local cuisine, like the delicious machboos I had at a restaurant on Al Wahda Street.
