Organizer: Dubai World Trade Centre

The Middle East's food and drink trade show returns from Monday, March 15, to Friday, March 19, 2027, split across two venues: Dubai World Trade Centre in the city centre and the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City, the one closer to Palm Jebel Ali.

Size

Gulfood counts more than 8,500 exhibitors from 195 countries and over 1.5 million products. India is the country partner for 2027, and the show is organised by Dubai World Trade Centre.

Hours

From Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to 18:00; on Friday, March 19, 10:00 to 17:00.

Who it is for

Gulfood is a trade show: buyers, distributors, importers, chefs and food businesses. Visitors register in advance on the Gulfood website.

From Palm Central

For anyone living or working at the Palm Jebel Ali end of the city, the Expo City half of the show is the near one, and Dubai World Trade Centre is the long drive up Sheikh Zayed Road.

Find out which venue holds your sectors before you set off: the two halves of Gulfood are at opposite ends of the city, and a buyer who needs both should give each its own day rather than cross the city at noon. From Palm Jebel Ali, start with Expo City. Friday closes an hour earlier than the rest of the week.
