HISTORY
The Heart of Sharjah: A Living Legacy of Culture and History
The Heart of Sharjah is a captivating tribute to the Emirate's rich cultural heritage. This meticulously restored district transports visitors back in time, offering a glimpse of life in the 1950s while fostering a modern-day renaissance. Spearheaded by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) in collaboration with cultural institutions, the restoration of this historic area serves as a cornerstone for preserving the traditions that have shaped Sharjah into the cultural beacon it is today. The Heart of Sharjah, has been proposed as a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. At the center of the Heart of Sharjah stands the iconic Sharjah Fort, a fortress made from traditional rock, coral, and adobe, originally built in 1820 by the then ruler of Sharjah. It holds a prominent place in the city’s history, offering insight into Sharjah's military past. While only one tower remains, it has been restored as part of an ongoing effort to preserve Sharjah’s cultural heritage. The fort’s restoration was completed in 1997, and it continues to be a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Amidst this historical destination lies The Chedi Al Bait, a luxury hotel that blends the timeless beauty of Sharjah's heritage. The hotel itself is more than just a place to rest—it is a living museum that allows guests to immerse themselves in the region’s architectural and cultural narrative. Among its most remarkable features is Bait Ibrahim Mohammed Al Midfa, the former home of Ibrahim Bin Mohammed Al Midfa, Sharjah’s first journalist. This iconic building, which is over 100 years old, is a true gem, showcasing the city's unique architectural ingenuity—especially the circular barjeel (wind tower), the only one of its kind in the UAE. Once home to thinkers, poets, and political figures, Bait Ibrahim Mohammed Al Midfa played a vital role in the intellectual and journalistic movements of the region. The house’s Majlis (gathering hall), now part of the Café at The Chedi Al Bait, continues to echo the ideas that once shaped the Emirate's cultural and literary landscape. Guests can walk through this historic home, discovering personal items belonging to Al Midfa, and gain a deeper understanding of his lasting influence on Sharjah’s press and public discourse.
For those seeking to uncover more of Sharjah's fascinating past, the Heart of Sharjah is a treasure trove of must-see destinations. Here are some places to visit during your stay (*):
Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization Sharjah Heritage Museum Sharjah Al Hisn Museum Sharjah Art Foundation & Rain Room The Chedi Al Bait Library & Museum Souk Al Arsah (over 190 years old)
