This low-key desert country is the cultural capital of the Arab world, which is both contradictory and pioneering, Sharjah is known as the “Cultural Capital of the Arab World,” with a pluralistic and inclusive character, and Arab culture is compatible with modern art and culture. Maleiha Desert Trip Mleiha Archaeological Centre Sharjah, one of the United Arab Emirates, the country name means "rise of the sun", and in the desert of Sharjah, enjoying a sunset is an unforgettable experience that cannot be missed. An hour's drive from the center of Sharjah, the Maleiha desert is also a famous attraction that gathers rich archaeological sites. Mleiha Archaeological Centre exhibits and interactive exhibits that showcase the region’s history of migration from the Paleolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, ancient people in the region. After visiting the archaeological center, take an off-road vehicle to enter the desert hinterland, and follow the archaeological guides to find the mountain and sea sites thousands of years ago. Due to the crustal movement, the seabed rocks thousands of years ago have become visible rock blocks in the Maleiha desert after floating and sinking, and the stones are covered with fossils of seabed paleontology, which has become a precious research material for scholars. And flowers prefer to hike in the red desert, wash the sand, and enjoy the desert's famous camel mountain. The sunset is slanting, and the endless desert is filled with desolation and silence in the warm red soil color, and the time passes by without words. The National Astronomical Center is a wonderful place for Sharjah to take pride in. The golden dome of the symmetrical building of the pavilion is like a rising planet, reflecting the dazzling golden light. The Astronomical Center’s pavilion is divided into four colored divisions by interactive physical experiments, showing the knowledge and efforts of human beings to study in the fields of astronomy and space. The most shocking thing about the center is the ball screen imaging room that can accommodate 200 spectators at the same time. The dome with a diameter of more than 18 meters can project starry sky movies in 360 degrees. The dome screen shows the vast universe and millions of images of celestial bodies, in the magnetic narrator's explanation. Huahua experienced a refreshing journey to the universe. Islamic Culture Museum Islamic Civilization Museum Islamic Culture Museum was founded in 1996, formerly known as the Islamic Museum. In 2008, the museum moved to its current location and changed its name to the Islamic Culture Museum in Sharjah. The roof of the building is covered with gold foil, like a magnificent Arab palace. The museum displays stories about the development and representation of Islamic civilization, and more than 5,000 Islamic art and crafts from Islamic countries. The pavilion uses various versions of the Koran to describe the development and progress of Islam, including the earliest known Koran in the world. On the upper central dome of the pavilion, there are spectacular twelve constellations, so beautiful "starry dome" is worth a seat in your circle of friends. Locomotive Market Blue Market Sharjah Another representative building is the central market designed by the Chief Sharjah, who studied in the UK. Since the architectural design is inspired by the locomotive, it means that this "locomotive" leads the Sharjah people to start a prosperous development road. Locals also call it the "locomotive market", while the building exterior uses a blue mosaic classic pattern, so it is also called the "blue market." There are more than 600 shops in the market, the first floor sells exquisite gold, jewelry, antiques, electronic products, the second floor sells local handicrafts, home supplies, small souvenirs, etc., everything. Sharjah introduced the art installation exhibition of the Queen Kusama Yasuo in Japan last year, and last year also added a very topical net red project, Yuwu. The rain house is actually a rain-like space in the room, but the touch device at the top of the person after entering will stop the rain in the area where the person is located, and the strong light shoots from the far end of the room, like a magic movie, immersed in it, is it pure taste and wonder, or is it really thinking? In the rain, most men have put on a tough man, play handsome posture, Huahua can not do the type of man, just play their own good at it~ Come, dance, take pictures~

    Overview: The UAE has a wealth of archaeological resources, but many have not been developed. This archaeological center is said to be a project funded by the local royal family. The archaeological center is vast, but fun and not boring at all. Play: This is a business-friendly place, not just an archaeological center. You can buy a package at the front desk, including the Archaeological Center Museum (indoor), the site of an outdoor archaeological site, four-wheel drive desert sandboarding, candlelight dinner in the desert, desert stargazing. Figure 1 is the high-precision astronomical telescope that the staff is debugging. Figure 2 is the moon that is taken with the mobile phone attached to the telescope. The whole project is a bit more beautiful at night. Although the museum and site are very shocking, compared with the candlelight dinner in the desert and the desert stargazing, I think the latter attracts me more. Transportation: The archaeological center provides a special car to and from the hotel you live in. Price: To be honest, I went there a few years ago and I don't remember. I vaguely remember to make an appointment online, and then someone will call to confirm that the archaeological center will send a car to pick it up and pay for the card at the front desk of the archaeological center. The price is based on the project you choose. Tips: I think this place must buy a package ticket, dinner and desert stargazing. Because this place is not in front of the village and behind the store, there is no ghost in the circle. If you want to come out of the museum, it is almost impossible to find a restaurant around to eat. Although there is a car in the archaeological center to return to the hotel, it is actually not close to Dubai and Sharjah, and it takes a long time to get on the road. In addition, the archaeological center is open every afternoon. Basically, from Sharjah to see the museum and archaeological sites, almost exactly sunset. At this time, it is just right to go sandboarding, not too sun. Light candles on the desert after sunset for candlelight dinner and stargazing. There are almost no tourists in this place. The day I went, I was with another family of three, but there were two special cars. So the whole process is basically one-to-one butler service, exactly one-to-one service. The whole process is equipped with a driver, an expert to explain, and there is a chef and a small worker to cook. The archaeological center will send an engineering car to follow your car. If you have seen the movie version of the Middle East episode of the American drama "Sex and the City", it is almost the feeling, really a large group of servants follow you, you enjoy the quiet desert of a hundred miles. Ask what else is more empty in the UAE during the Spring Festival?

    The desert blockbuster filming site recommends there are also undersea fossils? This trip to Sharjah, in addition to walking into a variety of museums, I wanted to see more scenery and historical relics in nature, so I walked into the Mleiha Archaeological Center. Mleiha Archaeological Centre Opening hours: Saturday to Wednesday: 9:00-19:00 Thursday to Friday: 9:00-21:00 Tickets: Adults: AED 254-12 Year Old Children: AED 15 (free for 3 years and under) There are also packages for 2 adults and 3 children: AED 55 It will be open to the public in January 2016. The archaeological center features artifacts excavated in the region, where you can see artifacts from the Paleolithic to the Bronze and Iron Age. Through exhibitions, interactions, cultural relics display, plus professional explanations, history is presented in front of us, where you can learn a lot about history. The sand-washing Mleiha desert cannot be entered by car, and it is necessary to be unified into an off-road vehicle in the archaeological center. The feeling of galloping in the desert is particularly exciting, the red desert wilderness is different from what I have been to. There is not only endless sand, but also prominent rocky mountains. Due to the crustal movement, the bare fossils buried in the ground millions or even millions of years ago are exposed. The fossils of these seabed creatures create a unique scene surrounded by mountains and rivers in the desert. Taking pictures of this special environment as the background is definitely the best place to take pictures! Walking bare feet on the long yellow sand, the footprints behind gradually dispersed with the wind, the final effect presented is very desolate. It is recommended to decorate yourself with sunglasses, gauze towels, etc. The BYSTRO Cafe is located in the archaeological center of Mleiha. The overall design of this cafe is very ins style, suitable for staying here. In addition to snacks and drinks, the most special thing is to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the fossil rock mountains!
