Sharjah Art Foundation Neighbourhood

Our Neighbourhood

Sharjah Art Foundation is located in the historic city centre of Sharjah near the working port and in an area of traditional souks and small shops trading in textiles, perfumes, spices, home wares, furnishings, family restaurants and roasteries.

Known as the Arts and Heritage Areas, the neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of restored traditional architecture and more contemporary buildings many of which are used by a range of local organisations and institutions that work in the fields of art and culture.

The area is home to a diverse and active community who enjoy its varied offerings and whose participation and engagement in SAF events and programmes is central to the Foundation’s mission.
