Today, the legacy of that early establishment survives through Al Mahatta Museum, which occupies the original site of the airport and rest house. This cultural landmark preserves the historic control tower, the old runway, and the aircraft hangars, while displaying vintage planes and artifacts from the early days of aviation. Visitors can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of 1930s travel, gaining insight into the transition from propeller-driven aircraft to the modern jet age and appreciating Sharjah’s pioneering role in regional aviation.
