Arabic calligraphy — Dubai & all UAE

Arabic calligraphy art, hand-inked in Dubai

Words carry weight — an ayah above the door, a dhikr in the living room, two names joined on a wedding day. I create Arabic calligraphy art entirely by hand in my Dubai studio: inked strokes, painted flourishes and real gold leaf if you'd like it. Nothing here is a vinyl sticker or a digital poster — every panel is drawn once, for one home.

From AED 450 · Ready in 2–4 weeks

Custom Islamic art for your home

The most requested pieces are the ones families live with every day: Ayat al-Kursi for the entrance, the Four Quls for a bedroom wall, Alhamdulillah and MashaAllah as quiet daily reminders, Bismillah above the room where everyone gathers. Each verse is composed for your wall and your space — the size, the flow of the letters and the balance between ink and gold are all decided with you before I begin.

Names, weddings and gifts

Calligraphy is a gift that never needs explaining. A couple's names intertwined for a wedding, a newborn's name for the nursery, a family name for the majlis, a line of poetry for someone who already has everything. Write the words in the order form — Arabic or transliteration — and I'll take care of the rest, checking the exact spelling with you on WhatsApp before any ink touches the paper.

Real gold leaf, laid by hand

When a piece calls for it, I lay real gold leaf by hand — it catches the evening light in a way no metallic print can imitate. Combined with deep inks and hand-painted florals, each panel becomes something between calligraphy and painting. Your artwork is signed, carefully packed and delivered anywhere in the UAE, and you pay cash on delivery, only when it has safely reached you.

Sizes, spelling and delivery

Verses and names are drawn at A5, A4 and A3, and larger for a statement wall — a single name sits beautifully at A4, while a full ayah or a couple's names often want A3 to let the letters flow. Before any ink touches the paper I confirm the exact wording and spelling with you on WhatsApp, in Arabic or transliteration, because a name is not something to get almost right. Your finished piece is signed, packed with care and delivered anywhere in the UAE, and you pay cash on delivery once it has safely reached you.

Common questions

Can you write a specific name or verse I have in mind?

Yes — a couple's names, a newborn's name, an ayah, a line of dua or poetry. Write it in the order form in Arabic or transliteration and I'll confirm the exact spelling with you on WhatsApp before I begin, so it is exactly right.

Do you add real gold leaf?

When a piece calls for it, I lay real gold leaf by hand — it catches the evening light in a way no metallic print can. It is optional; tell me if you'd like it and I'll show you how it changes the piece before we settle the design.

How long does a calligraphy piece take?

Most pieces are ready in 2–4 weeks from the moment we confirm the wording; larger panels and gold-leaf work sit at the longer end. If you have a wedding or a special date coming up, tell me on WhatsApp and we'll plan for it.
