Al Mahatta Museum

Forget playing with toy airplanes with your kids and explore the history of flight with the first built airport in the UAE. Sharjah's first airport building has been transformed into Al Mahatta Museum and highlights the history of flight in the UAE and the region. It is home to unique collectibles that show man's first attempts to fly, to landing on the moon.

Be sure not to miss the Hanno Plane, the first plane to land on Al Mahatta runaway, the unique Turboprop engine with a propeller, and Sharjah Cinema, the first cinema in the Arabian Gulf.
