Culture Village












Unlike the normal shopping malls elsewhere across Dubai, shopping and relaxation in Culture Village will truly be a novel experience. The shopping areas here will mainly accommodate designer fashion boutiques, exclusive bookshops, music shops, and art and craft galleries. Also adding to the charm will be a rustic souk where one can find traditional Arabian offerings ranging from spices and herbs to antiques and handmade crafts, as well as jazz bars, comedy clubs and coffee shops.HospitalityA rich hospitality awaits visitors in the form of boutique hotels with a neo-modern ambience, featuring specialty restaurants and designer coffee shops.Culture Village will feature wide open spaces, traditional wind towers, cobble stone walkways, unique sculptures, waterways topped with bridges, creekside souks, restaurants and cafes, an amphitheatre for live performance, cultural festivals, an exhibition hall and museums.The Culture Village master plan has been divided into residential, commercial and retail zones with hospitality and entertainment sub-districts. The residential district will feature traditional low to medium-rise buildings offering studio, one, two, three and four-bed roomed apartments with contemporary interiors, including loft-style apartments with work areas.The commercial district will house cultural institutions, schools, academies for art, music, dance, pottery and other crafts. The retail district will feature luxury hotels, designer boutique-style restaurants and coffee shops, as well as rare book shops and art and craft galleries. A rustic, traditional souk, offering Arabian crafts, antiques, spices and herbs, will be the focal point.
