Sharjah is determined to advance while staying firmly rooted in its cultural heritage. The emirate takes a comprehensive approach to this balance, dedicating significant resources to preserving historical landmarks like the iconic Najd Al Maqsar Village.
The Emirate of Sharjah is abundant in events framed by its diverse natural landscapes. To honour the desert and emphasise the importance of reconnecting with nature, the Police Desert Park was established as a venue that unites heritage and creativity.
Sharjah is renowned for its distinctive museums, each showcasing a rich array of themes, from culture and art to science. A prime example is Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, which was inaugurated on June 12, 2002, by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
Opened in 2008 under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, the Sharjah Classic Car Museum is strategically located near Sharjah International Airport and managed by the Sharjah Old Cars Club (SOCC).
