A large collection of vintage automobiles, which is a treat to eyes find so many of them under one roof. A must visit if you are vintage cars enthusiastic. It is close to the Sharjah airport, one has to exit at the next roundabout after the airport on Dhaid road, take a U-turn to reach this museum. The entry is fee is a meager AED 5 or 10 per head that I do not recollect properly.

I visited this aquarium eight times with my family as i am living nearby. We loved the place and enjoyed every minute. It contains many amazing creatures with delightful colours. It is somehow smaller than Dubai aquarium and the lost chambers but way cheaper. The ticket also gives you access to another museum for ships and boats.

We intended to see an exhibition at another location but were given mis-information so we headed to the Sharjah Art Museum. After a quick bit to eat in the cafe, my grandchildren (5 & 10) and I explored the exhibits. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to us. I would love to go back again some day.
