Welcome To Buhais Geology Park

The park was opened in 20-Jan-2020 by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, the UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to educate visitors about the geological significance of Jabal Buhais and the surrounding Sharjah region.

The park has important archeological sites and fossils dating back from millions of years. The unique designs of the park allow you to discover how the region’s most prominent geological landmarks, such as the Hajir Mountain Range, mountains, gravel plains, and sand dunes all came to be. The park includes two archaeological sites that have contributed to knowledge about the history of human settlement in this area, which dates back to more than 125,000 years. The location of the Buhais Geology Park in particular and the mountain, in general, provides evidence of how local nature was formed at least 93 million years ago.  The site has a wealth of fossilized remains of many ancient marine creatures that inhabited the shallow seas that submerged most of the land in the UAE until relatively recently from a geological perspective. Ophiolite rock is one of the park’s most important exhibits.
