Nice place, little small. Hope they got some activity for the kids. It was a great visit for me. I recommend anyone have time to visit and get informed about the history of this area. Also you can use the same ticket to visit Sharjah aquarium so its a win win for you.

It was a nice informative museum but no activities for kids to interact and learn. It would of been nice to walk onto an actual boat to bntter understand and learn. But it was clean and well displayed as an exhibition

Lot of boats, cultural aspects of UAE’s fishing community are on display in this museum. Entry is complimentary with Aquarium ticket, basically you have to show the same aquarium ticket for a free entry to this museum!

Very gud place to visit, small but worth visiting

Nice place to visit as Sharjah Maritime museum speaks about fisheries, collection of boat, pearl diving etc. Good place which gives us knowledge. We can enjoy outside of maritime museum by viewing a good scenary. Half a day required with family and kids.

Right next to the fish aquarium. Entrance ticket allows entry to both fish and maritime museum.Grand hall of a large collection of boats and local history of fishing and associated activity.

Very Good historical museum

I liked the place with all the ships and boat models available there, they also show you very good details about ruby and the process of extractions. The ticket price is fairly good only a few comments are that they can add more models or even do some visual shows, also, the parking area is very small to find a place there.

Interesting place to learn about the historical fishery industry and shipping industry. Especially the focus on pearl trading which was the leading industry of UAE in old days is very insightful. It is located adjacent to Sharjah Aquarium.

Very beautiful tourist attractions point in Sharjah, very near to Sharjah Aquarium. Huge collection of ancient marine cultural objects and various ships. Nice ambience, clean and very well designed.

Its annexed with Sharjah aquarium. Maritime trade and artifact fans can surely enjoy it. You will see lots of Sharjah old time boats, pearls and models depicting the history. You can utilize same ticket for Sharjah aquarium. Its a small museuem but worth visiting. Timings are till 8pm.

Museum showing replicas of old aged boats and fishing methods

Nice place to visit to have some knowledge about sharjah and gulf countries, recommend for families

The entry was free for the aquarium ticket holders. The museum is a good place to see the life of the ancestors of the Emirati. However, the mesum lack dates on the items in display. For kids it would be better if there is some activity related to maritime.

Was really happy to visit Sharjah museum in this time its amazing structure from inside and outside as its showing in real the history of our people in UAE in general and mainly sea business in ships fish and pearl business which prepared in amazing way in this museumAnd nice hospitality from all the staff thereThanks for all...

Good place to enjoy the marine.Quiet place with variety of small and large fish. The museum will give us the visualisation of ancient times. A history of tribes and their marine life.A must go place for students.Aed 25 for adults and Aed 15 for kids. They accept only cash.

Very nice place to visit if you want to know more about Arabian maritime history.

It is so nice to come here, especially with family or friends. In here we can see and learn about the ship the boat, the culture of fisherman, the culture of the pearl trading. So it will make us know more about the history of Sharjah as the center of the trading place in the past. The place is not too small and not too big. And the price is also cheap, just 25 for 2 places, Sharjah maritime museum and Sharjah aquarium. There are a lot of information about all the things or the miniature that we can find. Also there is small space for reading some books. Also there is playing ground area for children, outside the building. But there is no attraction that can improve the vibes. I wish next it will be better. Overall i love it

Very informative..helps one to know about the marine life, history and culture of UAE

Keeping the traditional value and maintain the traditional things and its shown by a simple simple videos as near of the productsDont touch to anything

A place where you can spend with family who loves the history of fishing methods and old methods of sea voyages .

A nice place to visit with children if you are in Sharjah. Aquarium is not very big, but nice. You can visit Maritime museum next to it at the same price. There is a nice playground for children outside.

Good place to visit. To look at historical and cultural exhibits

Well maintained museum, worth to visit alongside aquarium.

Meri time museum is small you can cover this museum in 30 to 45min. Its free when you buy ticket for sharjah aquarium as both located adjacent to each other. You can get all information about meritime life experience of old ages. So many small and big wood boat are placed there.

great educational place with a section of interactive old sea apparatus and compass.

Excellent experience and enjoyed visiting there to see ancient practices, culture and equipment for sailing, fishing and other related activities. There are several boat models (around 10and the biggest one in the center of the attraction. You can learn a lot for the local life in the past and how the locals were hunting for pears in the gulf. Some activities and games for elder and kids related to boating, shipping and astronomy. Its second time visited there. Also seen some changes which did not let me bore. Worth spending time there.
