Whole neighborhood is filled with many art galleries so you don't have to search them all over the city.
There is also some great cozy cafes and a real chocolate factory!
Wish there were more art spots like this in the world. Great creative hub. Feel it needs more events that the public can enjoy, open air concerts and the like. At the moment it seems to be niche Arabic improv shows at the junction. Chapter Arts centre in Cardiff, Wales is a prime example of what this could be. As an art space it’s great and exhibitions change around every 3 to 6 months. There is replay value here and it’s free to enter.
I mentioned this in another review, but avoid Al Ain zoo, it’s a joke.
Great place with great atmosphere. Sadly the lightning reflecting off every drawing, painting and other, ruins the purpose of the visit. I do encourage people to see this place with its treasures on every event!
very good place for art lovers. multiple galleries and categories to chose from. the best part is that you can simply roam around without having to actually buy any ticket or other stuff. it specially very nice during the events. if you love art, a definite place to visit. 4 stars because i feel the overall area and shops are a bit less. kind of feels like something is missing.
We come here for their outdoor screening of Independent movies and short films during the winter months. It's free and I truly enjoyed most of the short films I've watched so far. It's refreshing to watch something non-mainstream Americans-safe- the -world movies for a change.
It's a wonderful experience to watch a movie outdoor.
Check their website for movie schedules and screening time.
Nice space with a few good healthy eateries, art exhibitions, art studios and spaces to work. The one thing I dislike about this place is the lack of parking. You can never find parking here and al around is blocked. Guess they are building parking areas, let’s hope it is free and enough!
I was very inspired of that place while came in Dubai. But because of my high expectations I was disappointed.
What I really get from there:
- just A few art galleries from the whole district are ready to accept visitors. But they are cool.
- you can find there about 3-5 hubs to have some meal and work with you laptop. (It was not the purpose of my visit so I didn't come)
- some shops and offices that I wasn't expected to see there, because I was sure it is a district just for art spaces
- the last you should know, the public transport route is awful. Please don't waste your time and don't wear out your feet by off-road. Taxi in Dubai is expensive but the only way to get to the destination in a good mood.
One of Dubai's hidden gems, it offers the contemporary art experience among other things such as workshops and cool restaurants/cafes. Definitely worth a visit.
Amazing experience. Words escape my mind. It is the best culture center and artistic hub in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There are reading space, working area, table arrangements and a theater inside it where visual art can be performed. A fabulous choice for arranging any artist event here.
Would be wrong if I say Dubai's Futurists Art center as it's already an art and culture hub. Modern, contemporary, classic, or any other art form you will find it here. From visuals to performing art galleries and centre Al Serkal avenue have it all.
And healthy interesting and very amazing dine in options.
Amazing creativity here! It is very enjoyable strolling thru all galleries week days. Many cafes to shield you off the heat and energy you burned. Ending in Mirzam chocolate facotry / cafe is the best way to wrap up this artful trip❣️
The only thing i do not like about al serkal is the parking ptoblem but otherwise i always it a good place to visit andfor meetings.
Had a great experience at the City Makers hall in Al Serkal Avenue. A great venue that’s filled with passion and positive energy
Great location, up and coming trendy shops - mainly designers with a difference and just opposite to the well renowned Kidz Inc Dubai! Can’t wait till the weather gets cooler and ripe market opens!
No parking available! gallery owners aggressively defending their territory. it's not about art anymore, if you're looking for real art in a more relevant environment head to DIFC.
Love the concept. It nice to go there whenever they have an event especially Serkal lates.
Beautiful art galleries! The chocolate factory (Mirzam) is a must visit! Cute little eateries as well! This place will not disappoint
Very chic centre for the arts. People into design/ art/ music and all things aesthetic should definitely go and take a look. Excellent.
It is a hub of art and creativity . you find the most amazing galleries in Dubai and the World a very special place for people in love with. Creativity and art
Great up and coming location with lots of galleries / workshop / food joints around
Great place with a very attractive atmosphere for a young crowd. A bit pretentious, and prices are slightly bloated. Regardless, a great time and a lot to see. There is definitely something for everyone. Keep in mind, most places close on Fridays!
This is best route
Fantastic collection of galleries and other businesses. Eclectic and fun.
Great place that has cafes, galleries and many more great places. Worth the visit every time!
Given the warehouse location, I would have expected something more edgy or unique. Not worth the trip.
