The first three-dimensional pavement art festival in the Middle East took place recently in Dubai, featuring works that appear to rise from the ground, its organisers said.

Kurt Wenner, creator of the 3D pavement painting technique, said Dubai’s setting provided a “wonderful” chance to incorporate art into the city's ever-expanding landscape.
