The Buhais Geological Park was inaugurated at the end of 2019 by His Highness
Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council
of the Federation in the United Arab Emirates, Ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah,
with the aim of introducing visitors to the geological importance of Jebel
Buhais and the areas of Sharjah surrounding it. This unique site embraces
historical clues about how local nature was formed date back at least 93
million years ago. This site is rich in the fossilized remains of many ancient
marine organisms, which inhabited shallow seas that covered most of the
land in the United Arab Emirates until recently from a geological perspective.
The park includes two archaeological sites that contribute to enhancing our
knowledge of the history of human settlement in this area, which dates back
to at least 125,000 years ago. If we invite you to explore the products in the
indoor halls, we also invite you to wander around the outdoor park, through
its paths designed to show you how the most prominent geological features
of our region are ,such as the Negra mountain range and other individual
mountains, gravel plains, sand dunes and even the Arabian Gulf itself.
