Why types of Murals do you find in Dubai?

Today, illustrations of the city’s lifestyle cover the walls of some buildings in City Walk, DUBAI DESIGN DISTRICT (D3), and Al Fahidi. For example, random scenes like Emirati children hoop rolling depicting Emirati’s heritage influence in Satwa. It is thinkable to bump into inspiring statement pieces, transformative art in the most unexpected places, and just about anywhere you move to within the city. The vision of the ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is to make Dubai an open museum.

 Murals celebrating Mars Mission:

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority is commissioning art murals on many buildings in Dubai in celebrating the people’s history and love for art. The brand new art mural in Al Fahidi business district celebrates UAE for successfully launching of the Hope Probe Mars Mission. The art mural based in Bur Dubai represents the cord that connects the past to the present. The Mars mission mural is a surrealist inspired work giving a glimpse of the city’s future. The Mars mission is the work of Emirati artist Reem Al Mazrouei and a designer by the name Amna Basheer.
