Katara Cultural Village

Located on the Eastern Coast,  this is an excellent location for everyone to refresh and relax. A combination of arts and Arabic traditional culture achieved a diverse modernity & style.

Katara promotes cultural awareness, arts and exhibitions that encourage creativity and / or any kinds of artistic expressions.

As we parked the car, this traditional mosque welcomed us. The vibrant colors of gold, blue and purple is stunning.

This is a traditional pigeon house. Definitely Instagramable!



Next photos are indeed some of Katara's exceptional collections. 

Gandhi's Three Monkeys is a series of sculptures created by Indian artist Subodh Gupta that portrays three heads in different types of military headgear. The sculptures recall a visual metaphor from India's famous champion of peace, Mahatma Gandhi, of the "Three wise monkeys", representing the principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". 



The three heads are composed of stainless steel cooking instruments, used pails, traditional Tiffin lunch boxes, and glass bowls. (wikipedia)


While this sculpture perfectly fits in front of the amphitheater and near the shore, this is just fascinating to look at.
