One must understand the traditions of UAE society
in order to live and work here. Cultural traditions
go back to the days of the desert tribes and the influence
brought upon them by migration.
While
Sharjah is now a modern thriving entity, 50 years
ago the towns were small with few facilities, electricity
was powered by generator and water drawn from wells.
The leap into the developed world has taken place
over a very short span of time.
All
expatriates are welcome but care must be taken to
respect and honor local traditions which are still
very much part of life here.
Arts
Under
the direction and guidance of His Highness Dr. Sheikh
Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, the Supreme Council
Member and Ruler of Sharjah, the Al Shuwaihiyeen
area was selected for restoration, a decision taken
with great care. It is one of the most ancient areas
in Sharjah, the name of which is mentioned in several
historical documents and references dating back
to the end of the 18th century. The restoration
work of the area, comprising five architecturally
acclaimed heritage buildings and a mosque, was done
during the period 1993-1995.
Museums
In
Sharjah, a museum is a reservoir of man's past inherited
experience to nurture the ambitions of the present
and next generation. It is a place where the entire
family can visit and enjoy together the pride of
the traditional past, to have fun and education
through interactive "Hands-on" exhibits.
To develop a future scientific profession and an
analytical way of thinking.
