Historic Sites and Forts

Sharjah's historical landscape spans from the Paleolithic era to the 19th-century Al Qasimi dynasty. This collection features the Mleiha archaeological sites, including Umm an-Nar tombs and a late pre-Islamic palace, alongside coastal defensive structures like Kalba Fort and Al Hisn. Inland, the Jebel Faya rock shelters provide evidence of early human migration, while the monumental Quran sculpture in Cultural Square represents the emirate's modern Islamic identity and architectural heritage.
