Sharjah has issued a strict warning against unauthorized vehicle entry into Mleiha National Park. This protected area, part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Al Faya Site, is rich in rare fossils and ancient artifacts. The park's management, under Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), demands prior vehicle permits for all 4x4s, bikes, and off-road vehicles. Violators face heavy fines and possible legal actions. The new rules limit public access to official guided tours organized by the Mleiha Archaeological Centre. Visitors must follow designated routes and avoid off-road driving to protect the park's delicate ecosystem and archaeological remains. Authorities stress the crackdown is vital to prevent damage to the fragile desert terrain and invaluable cultural deposits. These enforcement efforts reflect a wider UAE strategy to safeguard natural and historic sites. Visitors are advised to plan ahead and secure permits through the Mleiha Archaeological Centre. They should avoid unauthorized driving and respect park signs and guidelines. Following these rules helps preserve this unique heritage spot for future generations. Sharjah’s move also sets an example in responsible tourism and sustainable park management. It aligns with other UAE efforts, like fines in Al Ain’s Jebel Hafeet and Fujairah’s mountain trails, designed to protect public safety and the environment. In short: No permit, no entry by vehicle. Unauthorized visits risk steep penalties. Mleiha National Park remains open for those who follow the rules and join guided tours, keeping this treasure safe and accessible.
