The House of Wisdom is an iconic Library and Cultural Center, designed by international architecture firm Foster & Partners.
It’s located on the Sharjah International Airport Road in Al Juraina 1 , ten kilometres from the city centre and near the University City of Sharjah

This iconic library and cultural centre is the newest addition to Sharjah’s numerous public offerings where books and knowledge can be openly accessed by people of all age groups and nationalities.

The ground floor of this two storey building contains large spaces for exhibitions, a café alongside a children’s educational space, and the archive and a reading area with facilities such as a book espresso machine that prints and binds books on-demand.

The upper floor hosts a series of pod spaces suspended above the central courtyard, which offer both quiet and collaborative spaces, exhibition areas and reading lounges including a prayer room and a women-only area.

The House of Wisdom covers an area of more than 12,000 square feet.

The Scroll

The Scroll is a striking monument designed to look like an ancient Arabic scroll looping 36 metres towards the sky.
It was designed by British sculptor Gerry Judah who was inspired by an ancient scroll design that represented the lasting power of books and how reading shares a strong purpose of uniting people together.
