Soak in a colourful art exhibition at Manarat Al Saadiyat

This exhibition titled Zuhoor showcases a dreamlike world where visitors can enjoy a glimpse of a more colourful imaginative Arab world – very different from what we see in the news, films and marketing campaigns. The dreamlike world showcases various alluring stories — dresses, gloves, flowers and planets, coupled with accessories that delight those who wear them. It’s almost an immersive like experience as the artists have managed to blur the line between the art and the audience. Book your tickets here.
