SHARJAH HERITAGE MUSEUM

Sharjah's heritage is rich and varied. This small museum composed of 6 galleries is very well done, even if it evokes only a tiny part of it, considering the long past of a country faithful to its traditions. The work of pearl craftsmen and fishermen takes us back to the first human occupations and to what will become a tradition, the pearl trade. The museum also traces the history of the development of trade up to the present day and gives pride of place to local folklore and jewellery. A visit is highly recommended.
