By no means, Dubai is the most popular tourist destination in the United Arab Emirates. A big city full of exotic attractions that appeal to tourists of all ages, Dubai does not only offer paradisiacal beaches to get suntanned on, effulgent ocean to bathe in, luxuriant palm groves to stroll by, fashionable nightclubs to hang out in and chic hotels to put up at, but the city also abounds in uncountable sights of historical and cultural importance like archeological sites, museums and picture galleries.

Perhaps there is no other place on earth with such a geographical diversity of art venues and outlets. Multiple art and picture galleries feature manifold artworks by both contemporary and classic artists. Many of the Dubai galleries hold thematic exhibitions, other are internationally established galleries which exhibit works by worldwide known painters. Those are the places where tourists can get the notion of what is the indigenous Arabian painting and rub shoulders with elite and bohemian society.  Below there is an extended list of Dubai art and picture galleries.
