About this audio guide
This guide to La Mer beach in Dubai opens with a Brazilian street artist who cannot see color, and the mural he painted along one of Jumeirah's most vividly designed beachfronts. It traces how Meraas built La Mer in 2017 to feel like a coastal neighborhood rather than a mall that wandered outdoors, and introduces the more than thirty international artists who covered The Wharf's walls afterward, from a French painter's two fish to a bench turned into a crab. Look for the colorblind artist's mural yourself, and see what everyone else might be missing.
