A Totally Eye-Catching Art Work Has Just Appeared In Al Ula
Al Ula is home to a UNESCO World Heritage site which was built more than 2,000 years ago by the Nabateans, a population of Arabs.
The untouched land, a walled city named Madain Saleh, is packed with mud-brick and stone house, it’s currently hosting events for the Winter at Tantora, and a Dubai-based artist was commissioned to create a piece for the land.
A tough feat, considering the history of the area. However elSeed, a French-Tunisian street artist who is based in Dubai took the history of the site and combined it with his recognisable street style to create something truly special.

Steering clear from his usual eye-popping colour choices, elSeed commented he needed to create something that wouldn’t clash but blend in, ‘disappear, almost impossible to grasp, like a mirage.’
The piece acts as a metaphor for a heartbreaking love story etched deep in history, read the story of Jameel and Buthayna in the caption below
