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in several historical documents and references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.
