Had a really nice experience at Jameel, it’s such a beautiful and clean building, beautiful architecture and layout and the staff are so sweet and welcoming. The galleries they had were nice not my favorite that I’ve seen but still nice. I very much enjoyed going through the building like the library and there little shop near by.

Entry is free, which is great, but I recommend checking which exhibitions are currently running before you visit. During my trip, there weren’t many artists I found particularly interesting. I actually enjoyed the outdoor area by the water canal more—it was a lovely space to relax and take in the surroundings.
