The Arab Headquarters Building, blends modern architectural techniques with traditional artisan crafts. It is home to four major Arab organizations: The Arab Fun for Social and Economic Development. OAPEC (Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries), the Inter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corportation and the Arab Maritime Petroleum Transport company. The building is a working museum and the sites are truly amazing. Recently I went on a tour of this marvel and here are a few of my favorite shots.
This beautiful crafted bronze table features a beautiful sign which says, "no smoking"
This lovely piece of antique Moroccan furniture is in the main lobby. Of course I wasn't supposed to sit on it, but I found that out after the picture was taken!


This is one of the hundreds of beautiful paintings. The amazing thing about this piecutre is that inbetween the colors are all the words of the Koran. (double click for close up)
