a fun museum to go to for plane lovers! so much history about aviation in Sharjah, Air Arabia, and aviation in general. the staff is friendly. the entire museum is indoors and air conditioned. there is shades parking. it would have been nice if there were a store to buy model airplanes or other related items but unfortunately there was not.

My visit to the Al Mahatta Museum was both educational and entertaining.

The museum boasts an impressive collection of aircraft and specimens with old engines. The exhibits are informative, providing detailed descriptions and interactive elements that engage visitors of all ages. The fossil collection left me in awe.

Additionally, the museum staff was helpful and did their best to manage the flow of visitors.
Overall, the Al Mahatta Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those interested in learning about aircraft

This well organized museum is a true tribute to aviation history and flying in general. The Mahattah Fort was built in 1932 for protection of passangers of Imperial Airways. The planes stopped here overnight flying to India and Australia. It is possible to watch the film "Air Outpost" from 1937 in the museum. The entire rich museum collection is related to flying, be it a bee or an Airbus.

Review:

Visiting the Al Mahatta Museum was an absolute delight that transported me to a bygone era of aviation. As an aviation enthusiast, this hidden gem left me awe-inspired and filled with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a genuine passion for preserving aviation history.

The museum's collection of vintage aircraft is simply extraordinary. Each plane on display has a story to tell, and the attention to detail in their preservation is remarkable. From the iconic World War II fighter planes to the elegant biplanes that graced the skies in the early 20th century, the museum's exhibits offer a captivating glimpse into the evolution of flight.

The museum's layout and presentation are thoughtfully designed. The aircraft are beautifully arranged, allowing ample space for visitors to appreciate them from various angles.

Additionally, the Al Mahatta Museum offers interactive displays and simulators, allowing visitors to experience the thrill of flying firsthand. Whether it's sitting in the cockpit of a replica or testing your skills on a flight simulator, these engaging activities add an exciting and immersive dimension to the museum experience

In conclusion, the Al Mahatta Museum is a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for aviation history. It's a haven for enthusiasts and a place that will captivate the imagination of young and old alike. The dedicated staff, remarkable aircraft collection, educational exhibits, and immersive experiences combine to create an unforgettable journey through time. I cannot recommend this museum enough, and I'm already eagerly planning my next visit

The museum was a good experience, the entry cost was 10 aed for 13 years and older while 5 aed for under 13. It's a good place and was not crowded when i visited, you can see the cockpit of a few old aircrafts and there are even old fossils of flying animals depicting how they evolved and how their flying mechanism works, there are 2 real life controllable demos where people can experiment with, 1 being how planes detect air speeds and another being how different angles of the wing affect the lift of the aircraft, there is a simulation room which i was the most excited for but it was subpar and not as great, you the quality and working of the simulator is very bad and the camera angle is very hard to control, it could be that there wasn't anyone in the simulator at the time we visited as there were basically no people but did not have a good experience in the simulator just looks like a free simulator with low quality graphics and controls, you are better off using the demo version of xplane if you are only here for the simulator experience. But the museum as a whole is very informative and enjoyable for all people. There are live sensor activated demos of modified aircraft engines to show the internals which move slowly showing the working and mechanism. There was an experiment about pressure but it was broken when i tried using it and it didn't look like it was doing anything. Overall I would recommend it and it is a lot of fun for everyone.

Great experience for plane enthusiasts ???????? we enjoyed the museum from beginning to end, especially the hangar ????. The gallery was so informative and entertaining, there is a room with hanging flying insects and birds as well. Usually, there is a cockpit open to the public, but when we went, it was "temporarily closed," but that's okay. You could still see the inside. The entry ticket is 10 dirhams for adults and 5 for kids, but it's free for school and university students if booked in advance ????.
