“A work of art is the trace of a magnificent struggle.”

Dubai is eventually turning into a cultural hub. The Dubai Culture & Arts Authority was launched on March 8, 2008, by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice president of UAE, Prime Minister, and Dubai Ruler. The vision behind the initiative is to achieve the dream they all saw of Dubai. Their aim is to establish Dubai as a global Arabian Metropolis and to transform Dubai into a flamboyant, vibrant city full of art and culture. They want the world to see Dubai as the perfect platform for cultural exchange and innovation. In the entire process of being welcoming of the cultures from around the world, it also focuses on preserving the Emirate heritage. With all of this, they strive towards enhancing cultural diversity, and social cohesion. That’s an incredible step, all you art lovers, for the love of art just book an air ticket to Dubai, get your Dubai Visa done and wait no more! Dubai has a lot more to offer than you think.
