Buddha statue erected on UAE main track

A 10 meter high Buddha statue is located on Sheikh Zayed Highway in the UAE.

Dubai, UAE. A huge Buddha statue 10 meters high is located on the E11 highway, connecting the two largest cities in the UAE - Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

In the Louvre, Abu Dhabi confirmed that its appearance symbolizes the beginning of the second season of the Highway Gallery exhibition, which officially starts on April 7th.

In total, 10 exhibits will be exhibited along the road, including three sculptures from the collection of the Louvre Abu Dhabi in 3D format, which are essentially 10-meter billboards.

The shield with the Buddha - a reproduction of the sculpture of Avalokiteshvar from China (11-12 centuries AD), depicting Guanyin, the goddess of compassion and mercy - the first exhibit.

The roadside gallery is a great opportunity for motorists to plunge into the world of art without leaving their car. A brief tour of all the exhibits can be heard at local radio stations in the country.
