Walking into the Dubai home of Emirati filmmaker Abdulla AlKaabi, the immediate impression is one of ecclectic sophistication – a masterclass in balancing tradition and modernity.

While subtly located in a Jumeirah suburb, his villa is notable for its extensive and meticulously curated art collection, so much so that it has been described as a “gallery-like setting”, showcasing Al Kaabi’s personal style and travels.

The home features a mix of contemporary and traditional elements, housing pieces by both Emirati and international artists. The villa is not just a living space, but a reflection of Al Kaabi’s artistic sensibilities and his continued support for the arts — perfectly in tune with TOD’S Spring-Summer 2025 collection.
