Mleiha Archaeological Centre, Sharjah

It was an OK experience. The indoor knowledge space is quite small but good enough to learn about the ancient history. It’s a place for people who love history. There is a cafe on site that serves delicious foods. A bit pricey but worth it! There are also cleaned toilets and prayer rooms available. There are horse riding and buggy rides activities but there are separate charges for that. Bookings need to be made online or at the reception. We didn’t go for the rides but managed to visit the horse stable. Plenty of horses to see and to pat on. They are quite friendly. We were also informed that there are several other activities available but to be booked prior the visit. You can find more info on their website. It’s also a stroller friendly place for those who have younger kids.

There is a plethora of activities that can be done at the archaeological site. I would have loved for the museum to have a more interactive way to display the historical content. This could attract more people to learn about the archaeological sites of the region. The café looks chic with lovely view but rather pricey. Highly recommend visiting the venue around sunset to get a glimpse of its magic during daytime and during the night. Another recommendation would be to explore fossil rock or the wild caves nearby and then the museum after catching the sunset at one of these two destinations after an enjoyable hike.
