Good hours
Galleries from 10:00. Alserkal after 17:00. Louvre late morning. Sharjah art season: check dates first.
Things to do
Art & design
Alserkal, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sharjah’s art season, and buildings that are the exhibit.
The UAE’s art scene lives in warehouses, domes, and heritage houses that become galleries for a season. You do not need a ticket for every evening — Alserkal’s courtyards and Saadiyat’s shoreline are part of the show.

Three ways to do Art & design
Louvre Abu Dhabi slow
Twenty minutes under the dome before a single label. The building is the first exhibit.
Alserkal Avenue evening
Independent galleries, a courtyard, and a city that finally cools down.
Sharjah when the season turns
Heritage houses as rooms. Off-season, the Heart of Sharjah is still the foyer.
