If the beauty and power of art captivate you, then Manarat Al Saadiyat is where you need to head this week. Abu Dhabi Art Fair is back this week, bringing together over 2,000 pieces of contemporary art. Whether you’re just starting to explore the art world or you’re a long-time fan, there’s something here that will catch your eye.
With 140 galleries from 37 countries, it’s a great chance to experience a wide range of art that’s bold, new, and thought-provoking.

If you’re planning to visit, the art fair will be open until Sunday, November 23, from 2 PM to 9 PM.
