A Cultural Oasis

Dubai’s industrial avenue is fast becoming a hub for arts and culture.

In between the dusty roads of Al Quoz and the hustle and bustle of the city, lies the gateway to a hidden cultural oasis. Behind two gates stands The Courtyard, attached to a handful of buildings with several facades depicting the architecture of the Gulf. Here, you can stroll along cobblestone walkways surrounded by rich designs camouflaged by lush greenery alongside a flowing fountain. Urban eateries, interior design havens, a photography studio and traditional buildings made from reclaimed materials housing art galleries define the alleyway.
