See more than 5,000 objects from across the Islamic world at the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, a major cultural attraction on the Corniche near the Heart of Sharjah. Across seven galleries, the museum connects Islamic faith, art, science and craftsmanship through manuscripts, historic coins, ceramics, textiles, jewellery and scientific instruments. Highlights include astrolabes, a gold-embroidered curtain made for the door of the Holy Ka’ba, and the zodiac mosaic beneath the central dome. The lower galleries focus on faith and scientific achievement, while the upper level presents Islamic arts in chronological order. Families, students, couples and cultural travellers can enjoy an indoor experience that combines history, architecture and centuries of creativity.

Plan your Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization visit with Captain Dunes for easier scheduling, practical visitor guidance and smoother coordination with the rest of your Sharjah itinerary. Captain Dunes can help arrange your confirmed visit and transportation where included, while the museum remains responsible for exhibitions, admission procedures and onsite operations. Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours to see the main galleries at a comfortable pace, and check the current opening schedule before travelling because Friday hours differ from other days. Its location also makes it convenient to combine with nearby cultural attractions in central Sharjah. With the key details organised in advance, you can spend more time appreciating the collection and less time managing logistics on the day.
