About this district

A central district facing the Kuwait Roundabout, holding the Photography Gallery — the first public gallery in the UAE dedicated entirely to photography. Two exhibition halls, a darkroom, a cyclorama, learning studios and a café, inside a restored telecommunications building from the late 1970s. Free entry. Ordinary streets outside, and one of the most specific art venues in the emirate inside.
