10 KM Desert Artwork Planned for Margham Near Skydive Dubai

A large-scale desert artwork titled CLIO is planned for the Skydive Dubai Desert Campus in Margham, with developers outlining a 10 kilometre installation that will extend across more than one million square metres of desert landscape.
Conceived by international contemporary artist Agron Hoti, CLIO is designed as a modular land-art project made up of 25,000 authenticated units, each measuring two metres by two metres. The installation is intended to combine physical landscape intervention with digital communication and video-based content, positioning the site as an experiential cultural destination rather than a static artwork.
At the centre of the project is Clio House, planned as a year-round cultural hub hosting exhibitions, public talks, artist and creator residencies, and collaborative programmes. The wider development, referred to as CLIO Desert Park, will be built on land owned by Shamal Holding, which owns the desert site allocated for the project.
Plans also include off-road buggy art safaris that follow the line of the installation, allowing visitors to experience the artwork across the desert terrain. According to the project timeline, an initial phase titled CLIO Oasis is scheduled to open in 2027, with full completion targeted for 2033.
The project was unveiled at a launch event held at L’Amo Bistro del Mare at Dubai Harbour Yacht Club, where former footballers Roberto Baggio, David Trezeguet, Fabio Cannavaro, and Francesco Totti attended and publicly endorsed the initiative.
