Alserkal Avenue
An arts district in converted warehouses in the Al Quoz industrial area, home to contemporary galleries, an independent cinema and specialty coffee.
Converted from warehouses, Alserkal Avenue is a hub of contemporary art in the Middle East. It is home to galleries such as Leila Heller and Carbon 12, plus the independent Cinema Akil, design studios, specialty coffee shops and distinctive restaurants. Most galleries are free to visit, though some close on Mondays or Fridays. Activity peaks during the annual Art Week in March.
