Hotel Danieli in Venice


this is the coffee shop in the lobby of the hotel, i just loved their cafe latte! ummmh! :) in this picture we girls were discussing the idea of going shopping because i was missing shoes to wear for the uae pavilion opening reception and alia al shamsi needed batteries for her camera! finally the rest of the girls went to the Biennale and alia and i went shopping :)


here, Emirati artist Ali Al Abdan was listening to our tour guide, who was talking to us about the history of Venice :)


Emirati artist Dr. Najat Makki is such a wonderful human being! she is one of the masters of art in the UAE, so it was an hour sitting next to her at the breakfast table :)




the renowned Emirati artists, Jalal Luqman & Abdulaqader Al Rayes, enjoying a delicious breakfast at the terrace of the hotel.



i was lucky enough to be walking through the hotel corridor to see our group sitting in the lobby, so i took the opportunity to take this photo, i really like it :)

the entire trip was amazing, i learnt so much and had a great experience. i hope every artist gets to go to the Venice biennale at least once in their life time.
