During our Dubai Tour (booked via AirBnB), before heading to the Souq, we explored this historic area across from the Dubai canal. This museum is just gorgeous and almost feels hidden. Art is abundant and gives the feel an artistic space. Given that anyone is able to visit and explore, I don’t know how guests would feel however I imagine you are only coming here for a purpose - for accommodations, to view the gallery or enjoy the restaurant/bar. Either way, seems they’ve found their niche and this is a beautiful venue that invites creativity.I hope you find this review helpful. If so, please give me a thumbs up.

XVA Cafe and gallery is a hidden gem in the middle of Al Fahidi Neighborhood. A good venue for art lovers and nature lovers at the same time. Thank you Chandresh for accommodating us and for granting all our request. Highly recommended!!!

Spacious place for people who want to spend time. There is a coffee shop inside and paintings created by artists with their talents and imagination.

I love arts and galleries!Tourist or not, you have to visit this place.Its free, 8mins walk from the metro, great ambiance!Theres a lot of TO DO things around.

They are a combination of cafe and gallery. They have some good collection of art work. One can enjoy the ambience of this place.

Amazing place! The atmosphere, the energy, the staff and the mint tea which we ordered were absolutely lovely. After walking in that area under some hot temperatures, it’s definitely the best stopping point on the way. Even if you don’t feel like ordering anything, just entering and feeling that energy and coolness gives a boost

One of the most interesting places in old Dubai (Bur Dubai). A great gallery with contemporary art all around. A cute little yard in the middle with a lovely coffee place. The place is very quite therefore very relaxing. Worth visiting.

Free entry for art gallery. Small collection but nonetheless a great place to go to if you are around the area.12022020

A small gallery presenting works of various artists. If you want to buy a piece of art or just interested in learning about different small artists - I really suggest that you visit this gallery. It is located near Dubai Museum in the historical region, so it has a particular atmosphere that sets this place apart from other galleries.

Peaceful place, good service, staff is friendly and helpful

Great place to relax on Saturday Afternoon, and enjoy nice cup of coffee

It’s location and the way it’s maintained makes it a place to dine .. the building is about 100 years old.. they’ve got cafe.. and hotel to stay in.. so old and felt so natural.. I loved the tree inside the cafe .. staffs were really friendly .. All together the place offers a soothing experience..

Beautiful place! There are so many different parts the gallery, a space where you can eat, look at at in different areas, have private space in one of the rooms available. Awesome!

A beautiful space to spend a couple hours. Have a juice, some tea, even some food and explore the space. Very relaxing!

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Dubai. Loved all the beautiful art, the cafe is amazing beyond words, very magical place. Go for the Arts, the architecture, the history, the people, the food and cafe. Welcoming staff and loved seeing all the roaming cats who were very friendly.

Worths the visit, a good place for a walk and a coffee.

Great place

Lovely piece of art but didnt really like the food. I havent stayed in the rooms so not sure how likely its good to be in there

If you are looking for a different cafeteria or restaurant ambience,then you should try XVA.its located inside Bastakiya(Al fahidi historical District), you wont find it if you looking outside . Interior ambience is awesome, feel like we are siting inside old traditional house. Meanwhile you can freely do a emirati heritage site visit also (Must visit place....dont forget take ur dsrl camera. Amazing place ). Nearest metro station is Al Fahidi (exit no:3)

Beautiful place! An amazing mix between the art scene and the history of dubai! Good food in the restaurant and very nice hote

Great place for a coffee stop, right in the middle of a heritage neighbourhood.

XVA Gallery is a gem in Dubai, and was one of the first to showcase Middle Eastern art in Dubai. It is now one of the foremost contemporary art galleries in the Middle East.

Super calm and relaxing.

There are cafes, galleries and shops all in one place. The shops stuff is more luxurious than anywhere else. Buy Moroccan Namadic Taler cotton robes for 478 dir. Expensive but pretty and not wrinkled

A wonderful, unique and special place.Very suitable for tourists with art, intimacy and beautyIt is an art gallery and a caféYou can enjoy drinking coffee in this warm place

Very comfortable gallery, there are some special artworks, and I’m in the afternoon, I’m in a good mood.

Contemporary art through the eyes of UAE locals Dubai

🇺🇦👍👍👍🇺🇦

I recommend to visit. It is there that everything can be seen in comparison (it was / became). The tour is not tiring. The museum is located in Abu Dhabi. On the shore of the bay. From the shore there are excellent views of the promenade with skyscrapers opposite. Great place for taking pictures.

Khosh is a place .. rouqaanThey have a coffee shop and the place is downright sweet

Jawhara Exhibition in Dubai, and was one of the first to display Middle Eastern art in Dubai. It is now one of the most important contemporary art galleries in the Middle East
