There is art to look at here, but the real pleasure is making something. Al Qattara Arts Centre occupies a beautifully restored mudbrick house and fort, with studios for ceramics, calligraphy, painting and other creative disciplines. Beneath it, a small archaeological gallery reveals layers of the settlement's much older past.

“See the archaeology basement before making time for the current exhibition. If a pottery or calligraphy workshop is running, book it in advance.”

♥ LOCAL TIP

“The current 'The Ever Living' exhibition is listed through February 2027, but the studio timetable changes. Visiting the gallery and joining a class are different experiences, so check the workshop calendar first.”
