about this Museum
Sharjah Fort (Al Hisn Sharjah)
is a beautifully restored 19th-century fortress that offers a deep dive into the emirate’s history and heritage. Originally built in 1823, it once served as the residence of the ruling family and a defensive stronghold. Today, the fort houses exhibits that showcase Sharjah’s political, military, and social past through photographs, artifacts, and interactive displays. Its traditional architecture, watchtowers, and central courtyard provide a glimpse into life in Sharjah over two centuries ago.
