With the newly opened "Sharjah Center for Astronomy and Space Sciences," the United Arab Emirates has entered a new age in space sciences exploration and research. The center has a state of the art digital planetarium, an astronomical observatory, and several research laboratories, i.e., "GIS and Remote Sensing Center," "CubeSat Laboratory," "Ionospheric Laboratory," "Radio Astronomy Laboratory," and a "Meteorite Center." This paper will highlight the center and discusses its objectives in terms of public outreach and the advance of space sciences in the UAE.
