Pretty nice, rebuilt fort in the original layout. Theres a lot of writing and a few exhibits but most is staged to what it would have looked like back then. We really enjoyed it. Wish the tower was open though so we could climb up. Very cheap entry 10aed per person, worth it for what you get to experience.

This was a great place you can walk around to learn about the history of Sharjah and there’s a place to sit and rest cost for a ticket per person is 10 AED, if you want to see the other 3 nearby museums it is 15 AED. Its not crowded so if you’re looking for solitude this place is for you.

Must visit museum if you want to know the history of Sharjah. Al Hisn is the heart of the area where justice and tolerance took place with vision and wisdom. Nearby parking available and cafes around the area. A walking distance from the souq and rest of Sharjah Museums (Art and Islamic museums from one side, and Bait Al Nanoodah, Heritage, and Calligraphy museums from the other sideask for shared tickets access and offers at the reception. Senior citizens access for free but must show their ID (above 60).

All Sharjah history at on center the heart of Sharjah.. the museum is kind of located in a place where it can less be recognized but the good old structures are a realistic impression that something more valuable is kept inside there

We can see a lot of information about civilization of past that how they lived in UAE. An historical fort turned into Museum and very well maintaining too. Feeling very anxious after watching all the stuff stored including weapons, wall fixtures about old maps and city construction and much more. Thanks to Sharjah Museum for sharing a lot of information to us.

Over here in Sharjah AL Hisn Fort Museum we can explore the historic landmark to learn about the modern history of Sharjah, the ruling family, the history of the fort, the historic defence strategies and Sharjah’s day-to-day life 196 years ago.As you explore the rooms of the fort, you will come across a wide collection of photographs and archaeological artifacts.

The fort has been virtually fully rebuilt and looks brand new in most parts, in each of the rooms within the fort, a brief history is shown with artifacts and exhibits to compliment the information displayed.The outside of this historic monument still looks like the traditional fort from centuries ago, but its lost its old world feel on the inside. Entrance fee of 10 Dirhams is ok, and theres plenty of paid parking around but it was a tad disappointing from my perspective.

A small fort converted into a museum, located just opposite to the Rolla Square park. Walking distance from the old city of Sharjah. The front of the museum is a good place for photographs with the wide open area and the iron cannons up front. Limited exhibits inside though. Located just at the corner of the old Sharjah town near the heart of Sharjah.

I visited this museum recently. Probably one of the best museums in the area. Lot of information, lot of objects, lot of hi-tech illustrations and good lighting. If you want to become knowledgeable about the area of Sharjah and its history, youll enter basically a history book. As a history buff, you will enjoy it. If you are more on the shallow side, youll be out in 10 minutes. Sharjah Fort - Al Hisn is a well maintained place. Well located in the middle of the city. Many historical facts presented

I visited this museum recently in 2015 and its one of the most beautiful museums Ive ever visited in my life !! it tells the story of early Sharjah and it takes you back to 1942 and makes you live that era as if its for real !! the facilities are excellent and their guides and staff are so kind and helpful !! Im going to visit it again with my family soon !! Probably one of the best museums in the area. Lot of information, lot of objects, lot of hi-tech illustrations and good lighting.

Nice place to go with family, kids, or friend. There are a lot of things inside the building. It will show and give us information about the history of the place. There are some rooms, miniatures, weapons, pictures, etc. Also we can go to the tower to see the city from the top. The place is well order, clean, and big too. The staff are so kind too. Better take the package ticket for 5 museums. So after from here, we can go to another museums around this fort.
