Al Qattara Arts Centre
Al Qattara, Al Ain
Opened in 2011, Al Qattara Arts Centre has been developed around the historic Bayt Bin Ati al-Darmaki fort, also known as the Al Qattara Fort. Situated in Abu Dhabi’s green garden city and heritage heartland of Al Ain, about one and a half hours away from the capital, this traditional mud-brick tower and house is located on a mound overlooking the date-palm gardens of Qattara Oasis, which it was built to protect.
Showcasing carefully restored traditional local architecture, the centre aims to provide a family-friendly venue where arts and culture can be studied, practised and developed by the entire UAE community and visiting travellers.
Во время реставрации форта ученые провели археологические раскопки и обнаружили старинные артефакты. Возраст находок охватывает период от Железного века (3000 лет назад) до расцвета Исламской империи. Самые древние изделия времен Железного века выставлены для осмотра в отреставрированных подвальных помещениях. Они символизируют небывалую историческую ценность города Аль-Айн, который включен в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
The centre offers impressive cultural and artistic programmes covering local artistic traditions and practices perfect for people of all ages. A dry studio is used for a variety of activities, including music classes and art crafting, while a wet studio is available for drawing and painting.
The centre also boasts a fully-equipped pottery studio, a digital room suitable for photography and computer classes, a spacious calligraphy studio, an exhibition hall and a café. Additionally, it includes a gallery and library.
