Enjoy a day-long tour of Dubai's diverse artworks in expertly renovated warehouse buildings, including 20th-century art furniture at La Galerie Nationale and modern Middle Eastern-inspired artworks at the Isabelle van den Eind Gallery. And if you want to take a break from art, treat yourself to delicious sensations at the Dubai chocolate factory - Mirzam. Cocoa beans from all over the world are carefully sorted by hand, and then roasted and ground. The result is better and fuller flavors. Then head to the MAD gallery of the rebellious MB&F watch brand and see the amazing world of watch movements.
