Sharjah Museum of Archaelogy

Another great Museum - full of interesting facts e.g. the Gulf was not the Gulf until 5000BC, when it filled with water. Beautiful selection of jewellry, pottery and early weapons well displayed. unfortunately my camera ran out power 1/3 way of around but some pictures are on my Picassa gallery.
Unfortunately the Science Museum next door was shut - a word of warning - Museums tend to open 3-8pm, the morning openings claimed by the Sharjah Tourist Brochures are not consistent i.e. the Museums of Archaeology and Islamic Arts were open in the morning as advertised, but the museiums of Heritage and Science were not.
