About
The Sharjah Maritime Museum focuses on the sea, which shaped Sharjah's heritage and growth. Its displays cover pearl diving, fishing and maritime trade, with models of wooden dhows, a pearling boat, fishing gear and divers' tools. It gives useful context for the pearl merchants' houses in the old town. It is a good stop for families and for anyone interested in the Gulf's long seafaring history.
Best time to go: Pair it with the Al Qasba canal walk and an evening on the Al Majaz waterfront.
