Mara’ina Exhibition at Ithra
by 1 Comment Photographer: Sultan Bin Fahad, An archival image from the Aramco records of the King in a car inspecting oil fields in 1947. The original image was flipped to show the King sitting in the driver’s seat while a man (mirrored in the reflection of the car) inspects the oil fields. So I wasn’t really planning...
Artist Profile: Naima Karim
by Leave a Comment I’ve been obsessed with Naima’s work since she moved here a few years ago. I don’t remember where, when or even how I saw her paintings, but I was instantly drawn to her dramatic paintings of beautiful red, blue, pink and orange skies. I remember going to her first solo exhibition in Dhahran. I was...

ArtBahrain 2015
by 1 Comment If you’re an art lover or a collector, you’re gonna love this… About a month ago, I stopped by ArtBahrain, an international art fair focused on showcasing the works of artists from all over the world. Galleries from so many different countries attended, including our very own Arabian Collections Gallery based out of Dhahran! I’ll be completely honest… when I first heard about the show,...
Arabian SAS
by 5 Comments If you live in Dhahran and are even slightly interested in home décor you’ve probably heard of Arabian SAS by now. It seems like everyone’s asking or talking about them these days… So because I’ve had a custom wood piece made by them, a post about this company seems quite timely and relevant! Arabian SAS has actually...
Desert Designs: The Artist’s Incubator
by 5 Comments If you’ve been in the EP for a while, you’re probably pretty familiar with Desert Designs (DD). Whether you know it as a gift shop, a coffee shop, a gallery, or just a place to buy antiques or bedouin handicrafts, it is hands down one of the best shopping experiences in Dhahran. My visits to the store usually consist...
RK Interiors: Design in Saudi Arabia
by 1 Comment I met Racha Kayali at the opening of the Arabian Collections Gallery a couple months ago. She was introduced to me as the mastermind behind the showroom, as her company had constructed and designed the entirely new space in Amwaj Plaza in Al-Khobar. After chatting with her about her amazing work at the gallery, I walked away...
Arabian Collections Gallery
by 6 Comments Local art is tricky to find in Saudi Arabia. It’s almost like you have to be in the “in crowd” to find out about the latest exhibitions, the gallery openings, the art shows, and whatever other kind of exclusive event people can think of. It’s fun when you’re one of the movers and shakers of Dhahran, but not...
