AL Mahatah Museum

The development of aviation in Sharjah-UAE began in the 2nd quarter of the twentieth century, exactly after 1930, when the project of Aviation Station (Al Mahatah) of the British Crown was established.

Before this date, there were several stations or points through which the military & civil airplanes used to cross in their way from Europe to the south east of Asia, in particular to India & until Sharjah emerged as a safe linked point in this route.

Al Mahatah was a big project in which many buildings were constructed. One of these buildings was Al Mahatah Fort (the present museum). It was used as a motel for passengers in transit or residents for a short term. Besides, there was the control tower, land service center, maintenance workshops, number of hangars for airplanes & a large runway for departure & arrival, subway runway for parking & provision for servicing aircraft.

The project was planned & designed by British engineers, but was built by local people from Sharjah, whose efforts helped complete the project within minimum cost.

Now, according to the directives of His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Member of the Supreme Council & Ruler of Sharjah & under his honorable patronage, part of Al Mahatah Project, which was being called the old airport of Sharjah, has been converted into a unique museum for innovations & old industries.

Al Mahatah Museum comprises the following divisions & sections.

• Aviation Division
• Division of old innovations, crafts & professions
• Transcription Section
• Old Sports Section
• Bicycles & wheels Section
• Offices Section
• Engines Section
• Section of Chinese objects

Besides these, part of the unique additions is a steam engine , the model of an original innovation dedicated to children to have an interesting & attractive trip into the past.

The museum includes a number of services provided to visitors, such as Sharjah tourism & commercial promotion office, shops for the sale of souvenirs & gifts, information office, with information about facilities & publications of the Department of Culture & Information
