The Mutrah Fish Market displays a wide, curving roof of intricate white aluminum lattice that mimics the flow of water and Arabic calligraphy. This structure replaces the older, utilitarian market that occupied the waterfront for decades. Inside, local fishermen bring their daily hauls of kingfish, tuna, and grouper directly from the Gulf of Oman before dawn. When the architect designed the sweeping canopy, he intended for the shade to protect the sellers while allowing the sea breeze to ventilate the entire hall.
