Al Manama at Louvre Abu Dhabi

The Manama is a tradition found across the Gulf which is waiting to be reinterpreted and brought back to life. It is an architectural typology which is rooted in the local context of the UAE, in which the heat that is trapped within the ground and animals can not enter. It is then roofed in a thatched way with Palm Fronds.

Experience two talks about the history and rich heritage of Architecture in the UAE led by Ahmed and Rashed Bin Shabib.

Al Manama also presents Oud and Calligraphy Performance in collaboration with the Arabic Language Centre (ALC) by Naseer Shammah and Najah Al Mahdawi. 

All events will be free but will require reservation.
