Hamra Abbas in Dubai

There have been many stunning changes to Dubai in recent years that have contributed to its rising status as the sublime spot for travelers.  Its exotic location that offers both deep desert and gorgeous beaches, as well as the fascinating differences between the old and the new city, are easy draws.  Add to this, however, the most exciting shopping malls in the world, with amazing attractions that keep guests of all ages surprised and delighted, along with a buzzing nightlife that offers exciting dance rooms that keep the party going all night long, and then the reasons for its popularity become clearer.  For these reasons, among so many others, when it comes to luxury hotels, Dubai, UAE has cornered the market.  Our hotels are carefully selected to offer you the best of the best, so you and your guests can enjoy the old world hospitality and all the new world innovations Dubai offers.

Culturally, it has become a major force in the visual art world.  With some fairly spectacular moves in art auctions, Dubai convinced the international art scene that it means business, and now it’s becoming a major player.  Art Dubai is one of the largest and freshest art shows in the world, attracting some of the most innovative artists in the world.  You don’t have to be in Dubai during Art Dubai, however, to enjoy its artistic blessings.

There are a stupendous number of small, local galleries now running in Dubai, enough so that there is a flurry of activity all year long.  The city’s commitment to promoting creativity has had many positive effects on the art world at large.  Dubai is attracting and actively promoting local and international artists, and developing relationships between curators and critics.  It’s becoming a place where you can see work by Hamra Abbas, a true international citizen.  She was born in Kuwait and now splits her time between Islamabad and Boston.  She’s also spent a good amount of time in Lahore and Berlin, and her shows are attracting attention all over the world, and her work always makes waves when it is shown in Dubai.  Keep an eye out for her work here.
