Timeline
15:32
Grab a quick coffee or light bite at Katsuya. The Japanese restaurant is open from 12:00 to 00:00 daily, making it a reliable stop before your morning start.
15:47
Drive through the tunnels to view the Calligraffiti Murals. This is the best way to see the full scale of eL Seed’s fusion of Arabic calligraphy and street art. Arrive just before the golden light hits to find a good angle.
16:47
Walk to Virgin Megastore near Aspire Park. Browse the selection of books and magazines in Arabic, English, and French while the morning light is soft and the park is quiet.
Local tip
The murals are best experienced by driving through the tunnels rather than walking. Keep an eye on the opening hours if you plan to return for dinner, as Katsuya stays open until midnight.
Check before you go
- Katsuya is open Mo-Su 12:00-00:00.
