The Rain Room, Al Mujarrah Park

A wonderful sensory experience from the Sharjah Art Foundation; visitors intuitively navigate their way through a darkened room in order to protect themselves from the continuous rainfall. The room uses 1,200 litres of self-cleaning, recycled water and your movements through the room trigger motion sensors that pause the rainfall. Plus, under fives go free!
