Top of my list of most infuriating, born-of-ignorance assumptions about the UAE is that: ‘it has no culture’. Absolute nonsense. If you’re looking for a new clutch bag, and you spend the entirety of your search in the microwave section of Jumbo Electronics, you’re unlikely to secure the bag. You’re just not looking in the right places. You can interact with fascinating examples, as well as talk with charismatic experts on Emirati culture at places like Dubai’s Al Fahidi district or the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU). Add to that the UAE’s thriving art scene – there’s the gallery district of Alserkal Avenue; Louvre Abu Dhabi; the Abu Dhabi’s Qasrs (which are also your Qasrs); the annual arts festivals; street art of Karama, City Walk and La Mer; there’s an opera house; a Golden Visa programme to make incubating promising international talent easier; the local music ecosystem spans the gamut of underground to homegrown pop stars; and there are museums of the past, museums of the future and museums of culture (shhh, that’s arguably culture). If you have the impression that the UAE has no culture, it’s probably because that’s what you want to believe, which, ironically, is a singularly uncultured way to view this part of the world.

Abu Dhabi is an exceptionally gorgeous emirate that is teeming with incredibly gorgeous natural wonders that are perfect to capture.
