Rare islamic heritage products. Must visit. Can also buy.
In the harsh arid lands of Arabia, the message of the prophet (PBUH) of Islam was to bring new hope to the hearts of men. His strong yet simple message of divine love and devotion transformed all aspects of life and thought. Work became a form of worship, and art a celebration of divine beauty.The artists of the era combined the rich influences of Persian, Byzantine, Sassanian techniques, styles, and forms to create a virtual renaissance in the world of art, architecture, music and literature. Art of Islam is essentially contemplated to express and encounter the divine presence. The artisan uses his craft to convey this glory and to share awareness with the world.As Islamic art and philosophy spread to all corners of the globe, various regional powers emerged, each seeking to establish superiority by promoting their diverse forms of artistic expression. This collective genius came to symbolise the cultural sophistication of their patrons and the identity of the state.Expertise from Syria, Egypt and as far as Persia was brought together under the banner of an Islamic culture. The rich textiles and royal silk robes of Persia; jewel-encrusted ceremonial objects of Turkey; intricately designed textiles and silk carpets of Kashmir; finely crafted weapons of Damascus; gold painted ceramics of China; illuminated miniatures of Iran depicting religious and literary themes from epics, epitomised a sublime and elegant statement of oriental opulence under the patronage of the sultans and emperors.For most of the thirteen centuries, Islamic rulers combined their roles of a monarch with that of a patron of art and craft; shaping lifestyle. Perhaps this is what elevates the Islamic culture from the simply fascinating to an iconographic enigma.
Learn and view about tapistry and carpets some independent artwork some local and some from Iran and Afghanistan also has a jewellery section it’s small and quite but nicely displayed with friendly and pleasant staff
The best art gallery and luxury shopping complex which all the tourists should do shopping whenever they visit to Dubai.
Quite & clean place , they have anything in the week end it would be crowded, but it’s good to be there
Good place for your Arabic Art. Place is a little expensive as compared to the local markets, but the advantage is you will find everything under one roof! Please dont forget to make reservations before you go!
A good place to be. not exactly a tourist destination, but if u have that extra time , u could visit the place to have some idea of the Islamic traditions
Nice collection of arabic art.This is a stop for tour groups to buy carpets and other art. You need a reservation to get in.

I found a cockroach there , such a restaurant that is operated in boulevard dubai should not be under such carelessness, absolutely not happy with this place.
Cheating people, stealing money. Dont come to buy anything. Price 100 times with real value.
What a place... totally worth seeing. Just dont forget to make the reservation!
Good place to experience the Arabic culture objects. The prices are high, but theyre worth the money.
