Why go
This record is the Sharjah Heritage Museum, in the Heart of Sharjah opposite Souq Al Arsah and next to Bait Al Naboodah, not the heritage quarter as a whole. The Sharjah Museums Authority says it first opened in 2005 and reopened in 2012 in Bait Saeed Al Taweel Al Shamsi, with displays on Emirati customs, traditions and the lifestyle of Sharjah's residents. The authority's museum page says the museum is closed until further notice (read 2026-10-11), so check the page before planning a visit. The authority's Heritage Joint Ticket page names it among the five Heart of Sharjah museums the ticket covers.
