The United Arab Emirates, once known predominantly for its oil industries, has been highly successful in reframing itself as a world-class tourist destination.
Increasingly, the country is also building a reputation for its cultural development, with new Louvre and Guggenheim museums opening in Abu Dhabi, the highly-acclaimed Sharjah Biennale now in its 16th edition and Art Dubai, the region’s leading art fair, attracting and encouraging an expanding creative community of both homegrown and global talent.
