Bait Al Naboodah is very interesting and I think must visit place in old Sharjah, ticket costs just 10 AED. Within 1 hour of our visit, we’ve learned a lot about pearl industry, trade, Sharjah development and traditional architecture, everyday life and etc. Indeed, the museum did a remarkable job; stuff were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Don’t hesitate, just go there and enjoy.

A very interesting house museum in heart of Sharjah! This was the house of a pearl trader in 1840s and the house expanded to fit the extended family and it was restored to tell the story of this Trader and the traditional life style of Emirates! You can have a guided tour or to participate in the activity room (family friendly) all included in the ticket fees which is 10 ED only! It takes around less than one hour to complete the full tour and read the panels.

Great place to experience the Emiratis ways of life & living.

The entry ticket is 10 AED but if you're travelling with a person above 60, entry is free for them and for you too, as their companion.

Weekdays are usually not that busy & you get to go through the entire museum at your own leisurely pace!

Bait Al Naboodah, the house of Naboodah, tells a story how wealthy Naboodah family lived in former Sharjah. Unluckily only the ground floor was open. As a part of history of Sharjah trip worth of visit.

The Museum is located inside a historic house, carefully restored and combines historical exposure with images of everyday life of the past. Some rooms summarize the history of pearl fishing and the wealth that came from the collection of pearls. From the end of the 19th century until the 1930s, Sharjah experienced a period of wealth because the pearl trade was profitable and everyone worked. Then, when pearls began to be cultivated in Japan, prices went down and there was a great crisis, completely overcome only with the discovery of oil. The visit is carried out by visiting the rooms that open onto the courtyard, in some of which the rooms of the past have been reconstructed: a kitchen, a bedroom, other rooms. Then continue to the upper floor, where there was the summer bedroom, designed to be cooler. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The visit opens reflections on the history of Sharjah and helps to better understand the lives of its inhabitants.

One of most beautiful heritage houses in the region, where you travel to the past.
I highly recommend people to visit it to know more about how the life was in Sharjah in late 80’s and early 90’s.

Its affordable, 10 dirhams for an adult ticket. Small museum, well kept, each door ignites old treasures. The first room is very informative.
