partial scoreAl Quoz Art District - Self-Guided Walk
Al Quoz · 17th St - Al Qouz Ind.first - Al Quoz - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
Well-known hub of the contemporary arts scene boasting an evolving collection of galleries.
Beyond Alserkal Avenue's formal gallery spaces, the wider Al Quoz art and creative district contains an expanding network of independent studios, street art murals, coffee roasters, vintage clothing shops and experimental food and beverage concepts all inhabiting former industrial warehouses. A self-guided walk through Al Quoz 1 and 3 is free and increasingly rewarding - the area has developed organically and feels genuinely different from the rest of curated Dubai. Dubai's emerging creative community has taken root here, and the weekend sees design markets, pop-up events and open studio days that are all free or nearly so.
