Next on the calendar
The next big trade show for the west of the city is Gulfood 2027 in March, half of it at Expo City.
Big 5 is the week the contractors, consultants and suppliers behind every master plan in Dubai are in one building, which makes it the best place to hear what is actually being built and on what timetable. For anyone weighing a purchase on Palm Jebel Ali, the useful sessions are the Leaders' Summit and LiveableCitiesX, where developers and authorities speak in public; the show floor is for trade buyers. The World Trade Centre is at the far end of Sheikh Zayed Road from Palm Central, with its own stop on the Red Line, so the metro is a fair alternative to a long drive in show-week traffic.
