Speaking about the show, Mohammed Fadhel Al Mazroui, Manager of Al Majaz Waterfront said: “We are really excited to be hosting this event at Al Majaz Waterfront. Classic cars have a wonderful way of grabbing people’s attention and this show is yet another example of how Al Majaz Waterfront is constantly looking for new ways to entertain its visitors of different age groups. The Show was also a great opportunity to work with the Sharjah Museums Department, whose collaboration made this event both possible and a great success.”

The Show was open and free of charge to the public and featured classic cars from a variety of periods, giving visitors to Al Majaz Waterfront a wonderful opportunity to see rare and beautiful examples of classic automotive innovation that they might never otherwise encounter in person. Each car’s specifications was on display so that motor-heads of all ages could learn more about exactly what makes these fantastic machines tick. The cars on show were provided by the Sharjah Classic Cars Museum and gave visitors a fascinating insight into the region’s rich automotive history.

Aisha Deemas, Director of Executive Affairs at Sharjah Museums Department (SMD), commented, “We are pleased to collaborate with Al Majaz Waterfront to present the Classic Cars Show. There are few inventions that can boast of having a greater impact on modern history than that of the automobile and this show is an opportunity to share some of the fascinating examples of automotive history that are only permanent display at the newly reopened Sharjah Classic Car Museum. It is our hope that this show will spark an increased interest in this museum and the other 15 museums SMD operates.”

The Classic Cars Show featured thirteen of the Sharjah Classic Cars Museums most valuable vehicles including a 1930’s Plymouth, a 1967 Ford Mustang, a 1951 StudeBaker Champion Coupe, and a 1955 Audi Auto Union.
