The UAE capital is about to get a gorgeous makeover thanks to local artists and authorities.
The Department of Municipalities and Transport – Abu Dhabi (DMT) has launched the Abu Dhabi Canvas, a move aimed at adorning the cityscape with murals. To be created by Emirati and locally based artists, it’s the perfect way to make the already gorgeous emirate that much better looking.
The murals will be placed at bus shelters in various areas including Al Nahyan, Al Bateen, Al Manhal, Al Mushrif, Al Danah and Al Muntazah.

By adorning key bus shelter locations with dynamic murals, we’re transforming public spaces into dynamic showcases that enhance the visual appeal of our city and foster a sense of connection and belonging among residents and visitors alike. Abu Dhabi Canvas reflects our commitment to supporting local talent and creating an inclusive urban environment for all to enjoy.”
