Highlights

Alserkal Art District is the entry point to Dubai's warehouse arts scene. Smaller galleries and creative studios cluster around the avenue, each with its own curatorial voice.
Pick two or three galleries based on current exhibitions, then wander the industrial lanes between them. The district rewards curious travellers who peek into open studio doors.
Plan around gallery opening nights — usually Thursday evenings — for the most vibrant atmosphere.
