From 11 October to 30 November visitors to the Sharjah Calligraphy Museum can enter the world of Islamic motifs from the UAE.

The collection of 60 photographs of Islamic geometric and floral decoration by Emirati photographers Marwan Al Ali and Yusif Harmoudi includes motifs inspired by the mosques and the doors of Islamic architecture in the UAE. It focuss on the interior aesthetic design and consistency of calligraphy/script and the Islamic motifs used to decorate the halls and walls of mosques.

The photographers aim to identify the splendour of calligraphy and artistic and spiritual manifestations using 3D technology. The exhibition is organised by the Sharjah Art Foundation and held in conjunction with the Sharjah Capital of Arab Tourism celebrations.
