a cultural gem that offers a deep, insightful journey through the rich tapestry of Islamic heritage. Housed in a beautifully restored traditional souq building along the scenic Corniche Street, the museum itself is a stunning architectural blend of Islamic and contemporary design, with its golden dome and traditional arches making it a striking landmark. The museum is immaculately clean, well-organized, and air-conditioned—making it a comfortable escape, especially during Sharjah’s hotter months. The staff are courteous, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer questions. Entrance fees are very reasonable, and for the cultural value offered, it’s an excellent deal. It’s easy to spend 2–3 hours here if you want to explore each gallery in depth.

Every piece tells a story, and exploring them feels like stepping into a world of adventure. I spent over two hours wandering through treasures, even though I skipped so many fascinating things because my time was short. You don’t need to be Muslim to be captivated by this breathtaking masterpiece. The thrill is that some pieces invite you to touch, interact, and experience them yourself. You’ll leave with a heart full of wonder and a smile that lasts all day. And the best part? All of this for just 10 dirhams. I am not a photographer but I took some pictures to preserve the memory.

The museum provides an introduction to the history of the Islamic world, as well as basic knowledge of Islamic religion and science. The venue is fascinating, spacious, and beautiful. The scientific section of the exhibition features many interactive elements, which are especially interesting for children and for those interested in engineering. Visiting the entire exhibition takes approximately 2.5 hours. There are no queues, and tickets cost only 10 dirhams. A very nice place to visit.

A beautifully curated and well-maintained museum with stunning architecture and rich Islamic history. The exhibits are detailed, informative, and showcase centuries of art, science, and culture. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff are helpful, and it’s a great place for families and anyone interested in learning more about Islamic civilization. Truly a must-visit in Sharjah!

This museum perfectly combines the art, culture, science, history of all the fields, military ammunition and weapons, architecture and menu more ! Highly recommended to visit this place. It took over 100 dirhams by taxi 🚕 from Dubai but it absolutely worth it.

Beautiful museum with rich Islamic history, artifacts, and architecture. Peaceful atmosphere, well-organized exhibits, and friendly staff. A must-visit place in Sharjah for culture and knowledge.

A wonderful museum with clear explanations and excellent models that help you understand the topics, along with interactive tools that make your experience unforgettable and help you retain the information you saw due to the interaction. We enjoyed learning about Andalusian civilization through the smart interactive display method.

The Sharjah Aquarium is a wonderful place to explore marine life and learn about the underwater world. The variety of sea creatures is impressive, from colorful fish and seahorses to sharks and rays. The aquariums are well-maintained, and the information boards make it educational as well as fun. The facility is very clean, spacious, and family-friendly, with easy navigation through different sections. I especially enjoyed the tunnel areas where you can see fish swimming all around you—it feels magical. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the ticket prices are very reasonable for the experience. It’s a perfect spot for families, kids, and anyone who loves nature. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Sharjah!

The Sharjah Aquarium is a wonderful destination for anyone interested in marine life. I had a great time visiting this place. The variety of fish and other sea creatures on display is impressive and the tanks are well-maintained. Peaceful surroundings and nicely decorated area makes the atmosphere more appealing. I liked that they have all facilities like prayer room, gift shop and coffee shop also.

I miss this place every now and then. Recently l visited with my Filipino friend who was never there. He was impressed with the variety of aquariums and type of fish. We saw cleaners of aquariums in action. Helpers are everywhere to promptly assist with information and leading you to walk roads. They were so kind and efficient. Must not ignore the smiling faces greeting us at the reception. On my way out, l went to them to say thank you and bye. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO MAINTAIN THIS INCREDIBLE PLACE. I

Sharjah Aquarium is a wonderful place to visit with family, especially if you have kids. The aquarium features a good variety of fish and marine species, giving visitors a close look at the underwater life of the Arabian Gulf. The entire facility is well maintained, clean, and organized, making it a pleasant and educational outing. It’s an ideal spot to spend a few relaxing hours while learning about marine conservation and local aquatic habitats.

Sharjah Aquarium and Marine Museum is a great family destination, especially for children who are fascinated by fish and marine life. The place is calm, relaxed, and well-maintained, offering an enjoyable experience for both kids and adults. It’s also wheelchair accessible, which makes it convenient for families with elderly members or strollers. A perfect mix of fun and learning in a peaceful environment."

Well maintained aquarium with diverse species and ample time to view and enjoy the space, the same ticket can be used to view the maritime museum as well. You have children’s activity such as colouring and the same is displaced on their LCD which is an interactive thing to do. You get to touch the star fishes. Beautiful planned aquarium.

From Dubai we rode a taxi to Sharjah Aquarium. We arrived around 5:15. We toured around the area. There are alot of varieties of fish. My wife and son really enjoyed the aquarium. We finished around 5:50. I thought the ferry going to Al Ghubaiba would leave 6:15 as per google. It seems that the 6:15 is only Mon-Thurs. So the ferry left at exactly 6PM. The last ferry to Dubai is 9PM. We tried booking careem but most drivers doesn't want to go to Dubai. So we just had dinner and took the last ferry. Super affordable as well for 15AED. Boat ride is around 30-40mins.

Majaz Waterfront Park is nothing short of magical! Nestled in the heart of Sharjah, this park offers a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and entertainment — it’s like the city’s best-kept secret for peaceful escapes and vibrant evenings. The views of the Khalid Lagoon are absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunset when the sky turns into a canvas of fiery colors. The musical fountain show? Pure enchantment. It feels like something out of a fairytale, especially when the lights dance on the water to the rhythm of music. Families, joggers, couples, and photographers all find their happy place here. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee by the water, renting a pedal boat, or just lounging on the grass under the palm trees, every corner of this park feels like a moment waiting to be enjoyed. It’s clean, safe, and beautifully maintained — and the energy is always just right. You come for a walk and end up staying for hours. Majaz Waterfront isn’t just a park. It’s an experience, a mood, and a little slice of peace in the middle of city life.

A great spot to unwind and relax, especially during the evening. Perfect for spending quality time with friends and family amidst our busy lives. Peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and a refreshing break from the daily routine. Definitely worth a visit.

Al Majaz Waterfront is one of my favourite places in Sharjah, when it comes to Al majaz area. The atmosphere is relaxing, very clean, and well organized, with great facilities for kids, families and couples. There are wide options for food, coffee, activities and views of the lagoon. Honestly, kudos to the UAE for creating this level of quality in a “normal” city area – the standard here is always top.

Very calm and dimly lit promenade, for casual strolls with friends and family. Didn't see the fountain shows and don't know why they were not operating that day. Amazing sunset views with a bridge leading to Al Noor island, which was cackling with cacophony of birds. It wasn't very crowded, and is recommended if you like sitting in grass for hours. There were lots of eateries nearby, and 2 beautiful mosques.

Beautiful and serenic area, play space and park ... Greatly engaging for kids and hanging spot.Calm and vast

"Just minutes away from the roaring highways and glittering malls, an emerald haven waits. The air is cooler here, the grass softer underfoot. Birds replace car horns, and the only rush is the gentle flow of a hidden fountain. Sharjah's best-kept secret? A pocket of peace, defiantly green in a desert of steel."

Al Majaz Waterfront is one of Sharjah’s most beloved public spaces, offering a perfect mix of leisure, nature, and light entertainment. Whether you're visiting solo, with family, or friends, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Breezy Evenings & Calm Ambience Evenings at Al Majaz are especially soothing. The gentle breeze from Khalid Lagoon, paired with the soft glow of waterfront lights, creates a tranquil setting ideal for unwinding after a long day. It’s a great spot to sit by the water, take a quiet walk, or simply enjoy the view. For those with kids, there’s a mini splash park, playgrounds, and even a musical fountain show in the evenings. It’s lively without being overwhelming, making it suitable for all age groups.

Amazing collection of artworks from all Arab nations! Spans all styles from realism to pure abstraction. I especially enjoyed the works by Palestinian, Syrian and Sudanese artists, as well as a handful of masterfully executed works by late 19th-century European artists on oriental subjects. Best of all, the entry was free of charge! If you at all enjoy art, this is the #1 museum to visit in the Sharjah/Dubai area.

The Sharjah Art Museum is an inspiring space that celebrates both local and international creativity. Its galleries are spacious, calm, and thoughtfully curated, offering a mix of traditional and contemporary works. A must-visit for art lovers seeking a deeper glimpse into the UAE’s vibrant cultural scene. The entrance is free.

Liwara Restaurant never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. The traditional vibes and friendly service make it a perfect spot for a relaxed, authentic meal. Highly recommended!

Very good museum with various regional artwork from the 19th and 20th century. Many rooms to visit for free and late opening till 8pm

This museum celebrates Arabic artists and the incredible talent across the Arab world. The Barjeel section at the Sharjah Art Museum features a fascinating variety of paintings from different artists, each telling unique stories from important moments in history. The collection changes every six months, so there’s always something new to see. You can even request a curator to guide you if you want to dive deeper. The atmosphere is amazing, it’s located in a heritage-rich, old area of Sharjah, perfect for a stroll and exploration after your visit. Best of all, it’s completely free. Highly recommended! Note: I purposely made my videos and pictures with a wide, zoomed-out angle and dimmed exposure so I wouldn’t spoil the gallery for you. Just wanted to give you a glimpse of the vibe and atmosphere!

The entry is free. It’s an art lover’s delight. You could easily spend 2-3 hours going though the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions.

Went here for brunch. This is probably the outlet with the best view while you are dining. There is indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas available. The food was amazing - we ordered the Brisket Eggs Benedict, Fish and Chips, American Breakfast, and the Banana Foster for dessert. Service was quick with servers being accommodating - asking us to reheat our coffee or bring additional ice cream when it melted on the banana foster. My only comment would be that they need to change their cutlery as the one they are using now is scratched up. Don't forget to use your Fazaa discount when you visit.

I do visit this place often - sometimes my experience is good, sometimes is not. It depends on how good we have been served. They serve really tasty desserts and burgers - these are you have to try for sure. About the interior - it is just perfect - one of my favorites so far. Unfortunately, the toilet is usually dirty - that is something you have to take care about. Overall, this place is nice. However, certain improvements have to be done.

Place is very nice, but service was very slow even though coffee shop was almost empty. With the restrictions in place drink was served in plastic cups. Very dirty outside seating area. Drinks were very tasty but I won’t go there again.

We enjoyed the food. It was really tasty. However, prices are considerably high against the low quality service (though staff were professional, but the number of staff was very limited). Glass all over the place was dirty (see photos), ceiling has fungus in various places (I don't know how the Municipality did not close that place till date), cleaning tools kept in FOH area. Pros: - Nice decoration and seating area. - Friendly staff. - High quality food. - Wide variety of food. - They have 50% discount on certain items for Shakespeare loyal Customers. Cons: - Fungus are around the A/C outlets (see photos). This is a serious hygiene issue in a restaurant. - Although staff are professional, but their number is very limited and service was quite slow. - Toilets were not clean. - Glass windows were very dirty (see photos). - The menu is designed in a way that makes it a difficult task to link the photo with the dish description.

💟This is a Romantic branch for Shakespeare and Co.🌷 It is opposite to the lake fountain which is nice at night.⛲ This branch has an elevator and outside seating area. The food is delicious. The food is delicious. You can order main course, coffee, tea and dessert. But to you need to enter to Al Majaz paid parkings to reach to it.

Fabulous fresh new menu, great views of the waterfountains at night on the terraced seating area. Seats outside and indoors. The best salads in the area and excellent friendly service. Highly reccommned

Food is good, prices ok.. Customer service acceptable.. Generally speaking, place is good however it's not a wow.. Might go for a coffee again since the view is nice and the atmosphere is peaceful..

Celebrated pre valentines day last month with friends and totally enjoyed our time. Food were very well presented and tasted great. Ambiance inside the restaurant was also good (though a little dark as per one of my friend). Also, the staffs were very friendly and accommodating.

Staff are very friendly. Service is great. BUT, food is less than alright, AND it is EXPENSIVE. I wasn’t happy with the fries that my friend and I ordered. I have asked the waiter if they were snap frozen and he said yes, which made the fries very soggy and moist to eat, however the spices and sauces were great. We also ordered Dynamite Chicken sliders, the chicken patty is so thin, you can barely taste any chicken in it, very poor quality. Presentations are great, but taste is missing. I have complained face to face to many of the staff in a very nice way without being mean because I am not like that, hoping for some action to be taken or at least for an apology for the horrendous food quality, but did not get any. Not worth the money you spend on food. But drinks are great :) I don’t recommend you wasting money on their food.

Just a note to thank you and your staff for a very lovely evening – the food was exceptional and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was awesome, perfect soft music and I definitely liked that you have very modern style. Worth coming all the way from Dubai. We will make sure we come again!!!!!!!!

Crisol is a cozy restaurant, quite nice to have lunch with your family, enjoyed my time there you can select a different variety of food salads, appetisers, meals & deserts loved the melted chocolate over the ice cream cake, kids will love the mini burgers, the food tastes really good. Visited the place another time this time git the Vegas burger 🍔 its delicious, have you ever Tried the spicy corn sticks, it's amazing however we ordered it not spicy and sweet potato fries

Very good quality and service. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere to it. Prices were on the expensive side though. The variety of options is good, however, I feel that there is room for more. Generally, good experience, had a good time there.

Impressed by the place as a whole. I'm a fan of the interior. I tried 2 burgers and they were enough to make me curious to try their other dishes as well. The black gold burger would be perfect in my books if it weren't for the small size. I understand its wagyu beef, but I would've made it bigger than the other burgers to persuade customers to go for the more expensive option. It was really good. I haven't described a food as "powerful" before but this one was. I tried another burger because I didn't feel full and didn't want to pay 38 dhs for fries, so I paid 47 for their tornado burger, which was also great but naturally not as delicious as the black gold. I wanted to give the restaurant 4 stars because I wanted them to consider either lowering the price of the black gold burger or making it larger, but I liked the fact the restaurant gave options at different prices (there's a 3rd burger priced at around 37 dhs). I do hope they consider modifying this burger though, without changing the taste or ingredients. I'll probably try steak another time or perhaps some other best-selling dish here. Staff are nice, too. Wagyu eggs Benedict was alright 🤷‍♂️ not too good, not too bad... Didn't really taste the beef that well, and it was relatively small in size. Tried their fried chicken burger. It was surprisingly good, thought I'd like it a bit less oily. Tried their ribeye steak, didn't like it that much. It's acceptable but definitely not worth 135 dhs. Didn't like the chimichurri sauce it came with either. If you decide to get a ribeye steak, make sure to ask for it without this sauce. Instagram: @HouseoFlavour (House o' Flavour)

Happiness is great food in a great Ambiance. 🍽 @Crisol is a place to satisfy your food cravings. It has a spacious and comfortable seating area where you can enjoy tasty food. I tasted Korean Chicken Lollipops🍗, crispy Texas chicken burger 🍔 and Warm Mushroom Farefalle Pasta 🍝.  All these dishes were delicious and aromatic. Don't forget to cool off your thirst with their thirst quenching beverages like Passion Fruit Mojito 🍹. Thank you to the amicable team at @crisol preparing this delicious lunch. #review #zomato #restaurant #dubaiblogger #foodblogger #dubaifoodblogger #dubairestaurants #dubailife #dubai #dubaicafe #foodphotography #foodstagram #googlereview

This place is tucked away in the between traditional buildings giving you a sense of escaping the city. The food is wonderfully rich and properly portioned, excellent value for the price. Add to that outstanding service and you have yourself a winning formula!

Double feelings about this cafe. Nice territory, beautiful cats, good staff, good service. But terrible food and drinks. Both cakes were old and not tasty. Matcha latte tastes like grass juice. Spanish latte just fully sugar. To come here need go far away, cross security post. Honestly don’t worst time and money.

Place has an old world charm, looks rustic but modern decor. They have their own take on food preparation. It may appeal to many but some would be left dissatisfied. Place is worth visiting. I would definitely return again though our friend would not want to.

2nd time at fen cafe and once again it didn’t disappoint. Hosted by Shienre Tanzo and he was very patient an amazing host. I recommend this place and don’t forget to order the passion fruit mojito it’s the best

A great restaurant tucked away in the Al Mureijah area of downtown Sharjah, close to art galleries and the souq. The menu is well-varied, offering options from many different cuisines at a relatively affordable price for the quality and quantity. We started with the Nicoise Salad (37 AED) and Vietnamese Spring Rolls (35 AED), both of which tasted fresh and delicious. The Fish & Chips (55 AED) had a crispy yet not oily battered fish with seasoned fries and a delicious tartar sauce. The Sri Lankan Fried Aubergine Curry (35 AED) and the Chicken Katsu Curry (48 AED) were my favorite dishes- both very delicious and super flavorful. Overall, a wonderful experience and will definitely be my go-to when in the area.

Friendly service and food was actually really tasty and fresh. We didn’t expect much, just needed to get out of the heat but were very happy we stopped here.

food was really good. There were just 2 people in the kitchen and the waiter was very kind and patient. for drinks i suggest the passion mojito and for the food the pastriami sandwich and shakshuka.

Jheenga masala briyani was very good. The zafrani paratha was also good. Exceptional service. Ambiance is also nice.

It's a nice place for outdoor refreshments and enjoy. Food is delicious and authentic. Pakistani and Indian cuisines. Atmosphere very calm and peaceful fully privately and sprat cabin. It's nicely environment for families. Must vist once with family.it will be memorable moments.

I had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, and I loved the mango cream cake. The ambiance was good, and the staff were very sweet and cooperative.

The food was absolutely amazing and me and my family were astonished on how they prepare and serve us. We even shared it with our friends and even they loved it.

Food was so bad and expensive , chicken smell, and portion of the food was not comparing with the price they charge even i ordered the tandoori Roti the portion of the roti was like small piece of khubaz and they charged each roti 4 dirham plus butter naan 7 dirham and size of naan is unexpected still didnt like the murgh lahori which came with more water in that and not cooked well i am sorry i uploading the pictures below u can see, Not recommended at all to anyone.

We are happy and the food amazing

It was my favorite restaurant but quality of food changed and it didn’t meet my expectations during the last couple of times!

One of the best places in sharjah for best momo! Been regular here since 2 years, the food quality is amazing and delicious. We travel from Dubai to eat momo here! The soups are delicious! It's a must try hidden gem if u miss momo or regular street foods. Here's your place!

The staff here are absolutely amazing, and the place has such a cozy vibe! I’m a huge fan of Momo House – every recipe is delicious, and the team is always so kind and welcoming. I love both the veg and chicken momos, whether steamed or fried – all are super tasty, especially with the spicy sauce (my husband’s favorite!). The wontons and spring rolls are also fantastic. Highly recommend!

🌟 Amazing Experience at Momo House, Buteena! 🌟 If you’re a fan of flavorful, comforting, and perfectly spiced food, Momo House in Buteena is a must-visit! From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed with a steaming hot complimentary soup, setting the tone for an incredible dining experience. Their fried rice is simply outstanding—packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and pairs wonderfully with their chicken Manchurian, which is saucy, spicy, and absolutely delicious. But the real stars? The momos! Whether you go for the classic steamed version or the fiery chilli momos, each bite is bursting with authentic taste. And don’t even get me started on their red chutney—it’s next-level delicious, adding just the right kick to every bite. Momo House truly knows how to serve up amazing food with great hospitality. If you’re in Buteena and craving some seriously good Asian flavors, this is the place to be.

I recently visited Momo House Restaurant and had a great overall experience. As a nice touch, they served complimentary soup as a starter, which was warm and flavorful—a comforting way to begin the meal. The restaurant is clean and decently maintained, with a spacious seating area, including an upstairs section that adds more room and comfort. I ordered fried momo, chili momo, and chicken chowmein. The momos were excellent—crispy, well-seasoned, and served with delicious sauces. The chicken chowmein was okay, but I’d recommend they consider using a different type of noodle to improve the texture and flavor. The menu could use an upgrade, especially with combo offers like a platter featuring different types of momos. The selection of cool drinks and juices was limited, so expanding that would definitely enhance the dining experience. One thing to note is the location—it’s a bit hidden away, and parking can be difficult to find. Overall, Momo House is a good and clean restaurant with tasty momo options and a welcoming atmosphere. With a few improvements to the menu and accessibility, it has strong potential to become a local favorite.

My family’s all time favorite is their juicy kothey momos.once in every month we order them. They are delicious and melt in mouth with authentic flavors .

Amazing taste, regular joint for me personally to hang out with friends and family, great momos. Recommendation: C Chicken Momo, fried momo, tandoori momo.

A Delightful Dining Experience at Momo House We had an amazing experience in this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—easily the best we've ever had. Each dish was full of flavor and prepared with great care. The prices were very reasonable, which made the experience even better. It's an ideal place for family gatherings, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. The only challenge we faced was finding the exact location. The roads nearby were covered with sand, which made parking and reversing a bit difficult. We recommend placing a signboard at the beginning of the junction to help first-time visitors locate the restaurant more easily. Overall, everything else was truly excellent. Highly recommended!
