Alserkal Avenue, situated in the heart of Dubai, was once an industrial zone comprising of 40 warehouses that have since been converted into modern art galleries, dance studios, and artisan cafes. This unique precinct is now considered the leading art hub in the region, fostering a culture of creativity, and is overseen by Rem Koolhaas, a laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Visitors can explore contemporary galleries like Carbon 12 and Leila Heller Gallery, creative community spaces such as thejamjar, and venues like Cinema Akil and The Junction for independent movie screenings and live theatre. In addition to art, Alserkal Avenue offers boutique gym sessions at CRANK Fit and a range of food and drink options, including specialty brews at Nightjar Coffee and healthy meals at Wild & The Moon.
