Living Letters: How Calligraphy Still Shapes the UAE

Arabic calligraphy has always had a certain mystique – part art, part language, part handwriting goal that most of us only dream of achieving. In the UAE, though, it’s more than ornamental script in the margin of a wedding invitation. Here, calligraphy turns up everywhere: across the domes of mosques, on passport pages, above shopfronts, and sometimes even swirling atop your morning cappuccino.
