An amalgamation of science and modern architecture, it takes you on a trip to fairyland. This is a place where you will get close and enjoy the presence of 20 exotic species of butterflies.

You’ll be able to enjoy and learn a lot about origins as well as the characters of various butterfly species. And what’s best? The in-house cafe lets you enjoy these beauties with a cup of coffee. 

Vroom vroom to the drive-in cinema

Sharjah’s first-ever drive-in cinema is located at Madar at Aljada, which is the first-ever family-friendly complex. With a capacity of 150 vehicles at a time; The Drive-in cinema was constructed in collaboration with Urban Entertainment to bring the open cinema experience to the Emirates.  The Residents of Sharjah will be able to enjoy the latest movie screenings at 8 pm daily. I am sure you will have an amazing experience here and that is why this is in the list of fun things to do in Sharjah.

The place for attaining wisdom ‘House of Wisdom Sharjah’  

The emirate of Sharjah has been designated as the 2019 UNESCO World Book Capital. The House of Wisdom Sharjah pays homage to the emirate’s new title and continues the emirate’s knowledge-based development strategy. Sharjah is recognized as the region’s cultural capital. Also, the emirate’s commitment to innovation, education, and learning is bolstered by the ‘library of the future’ idea.

All the fancy cars are here at Sharjah Classic Cars Museum

This museum is a must-see for antique automobile enthusiasts, with over 100 cars on exhibit from the early twentieth century.

The Sharjah Classic Cars Museum is divided into five sections, featuring vehicles ranging from a Midget to Ford. A must-see is the 1969 Mercedes Pullman Limousine, custom-built for Sharjah’s ruler and one of just 2,000 worldwide.

The automobiles have been meticulously repaired and polished to the point that you can see your reflection in them. Learn about the vehicle’s history and view antique advertisements from each era and an interactive area for youngsters that includes puzzles and a driving simulator.

The archaeological paradise: Mleiha Archaeological Center 

Meliha Archaeological Centre is a tourist attraction and museum dedicated to the history and archaeology of the Mleiha area in Sharjah. The center, centered on a well-preserved Umm Al Nar tomb, describes the excavations and discoveries discovered at Mleiha and its environs. The significant Faya North East discovery, which demonstrates that ‘anatomically modern people lived in the Mleiha region between 130,000 and 120,000 years ago,’ has been made during the last 40 years.

The burial Village for everything spooky

As you travel across the undulating dunes towards what was once a tiny community outside of Al Madam, you will be greeted by an unsettling silence.

According to residents in the area, the village was previously home to the Al Kutbi tribe, one of the three main tribes living in and around Al Madam, a tiny town controlled by the Sharjah emirate.

The hamlet abandoned a few decades ago is now half-buried in sand, and no one knows why. It may be the jinn (supernatural entities believed to live in this world but not visible to human sight by Arabs and Muslims; the creatures are also referenced in the Quran) or the harsh desert.

All the sciency stuff at Sharjah Science Museum

The Sharjah Science Museum was founded in the United Arab Emirates to educate and inspire people of all ages about science. For investigating life, space, science experiments, and numerous other disciplines, the museum employs the entertaining technique of interactive sessions and exhibits.

Visitors may create their cartoons, solve human body riddles, and put their bodily strength and flexibility to the test! Kids have their play area, which is meant to help them better comprehend the world around them. The museum’s on-site planetarium also allows visitors to learn about the universe and space. Snacks and drinks are also available next door at the café.
