About
A charming studio-gallery tucked within the labyrinthine alleys of Souq Muttrah, Kadok is the home studio of artist Murtada, who specialises in Arabic calligraphy and watercolour paintings. The gallery offers personalised and framed pieces created on request — visitors can commission their name or a chosen phrase rendered in classical Arabic script, making for a uniquely personal Oman souvenir.
The Muttrah Souq location adds to the experience — the gallery sits amid the incense, silver, and textiles of Oman's most famous traditional market. Watching Murtada work is itself a pleasure, and the prices are very reasonable for original handmade art.
