Hisn Khor Fakkan was rebuilt to replicate the 1950s ـــ 1960s design of the original nearby fort, offering a unique opportunity to the public to enjoy this outstanding collection. The Museum opened on Saturday, 13th April 2019.

Step into that silent grandeur where every single exhibit narrates a precious part of Sharjah’s rich East Coast history, and demonstrates Al- Qawasim influence in the region. The Museum themes are represented through photographs, artefacts, 3D models, technology-driven means and stories, as well as the design of the building itself .

Since archaeological excavations began in this region decades ago, archaeologists have uncovered amazing finds in Dibba Al-Hisn, Khor Fakkan, Kalba, Wadi Al Hilo and Wadi Shi, some of which are on display here, including a rare 19th century stone inscription and a piece of rock art, dating back to the Stone Age.
