House of Wisdom

Visited the House of Wisdom in Sharjah and it honestly blew us away. It feels like a peaceful retreat far from the usual UAE buzz — with wide open views, gorgeous architecture, and tons of natural light. Designed by Foster + Partners, the space is beautifully done — perfect mix of modern, calm, and inspiring. There are cozy spots to read, pods to work, a great cafe for coffee or brunch, plus lots of greenery and even birds chirping around! The Knowledge Garden and that futuristic sculpture are real highlights. Whether you're into books, architecture, or just want a quiet, beautiful space to think or work — this place is a must-visit.

Definitely a must visit place. No doubt about it! I would like to say, this is one of the precious gems in the UAE. Far from the city, but totally worth it! Huge library. In the center, they made a perfect small green house, which was my favourite corner. Cafe for refreshing yourself. Amazing ambience!

came here just for fun and now i think i found my new study spot! Very quiet love the nature in the middle of the building! Looking for a book? You can just get on those cool devices and find anything you want and easily borrow any book you like!
