Abu Dhabi is having a serious art moment this month as Frieze arrives and two major events return

Maan Jalal, Condé Nast Traveller Middle East, 10 November 2026

Conde Nast Traveller Middle East published Maan Jalal's preview on 10 November 2026 of a busy month for art in Abu Dhabi, as Frieze arrives and the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial and Nomad return.

In a single sentence the piece names "Zeinab Alhashemi's The Nut and Bolt presented by Tabari" among the works in Frieze Sculpture. It does not name the booth or Be The Stone. Alhashemi is an Emirati artist, and The Nut and Bolt is Tabari's presentation in Frieze Sculpture at Frieze Abu Dhabi, which runs from 19 to 22 November 2026, Booth C5.

The preview is useful as a timely mention on a widely read domain, not as a substitute for a booth feature. No Time Out or newspaper review of the booth had appeared when this card was prepared.

Jalal's wider preview also takes in public commissions and returning fairs in the city that month. The Nut and Bolt sentence is brief, but it is a clear credit to the Emirati artist and to the gallery on a widely read travel site, in the week before the fair.
