DUBAI WORLD TRADE CENTRE
Since its inception in 1979, the Dubai World Trade Centre has been instrumental in establishing Dubai's position as a global financial and commercial hub, and remains a vibrant business epicentre for the region.

The Dubai Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC), is enviably positioned between new and old Dubai. To one side we have the city's glittering new skyline of hotels, freehold properties, business districts, shopping malls and entertainment resorts. To our other side is the older part of Dubai with its souqs, landscaped parks and vibrant retail and residential districts. Dubai's historic creek, wildlife bird sanctuary, zoo, museum, heritage sites, beaches, championship golf courses, and marina are also in the vicinity.
A 10 minute drive from the Dubai International Airport, DICEC is at the heart of Dubai's Business District. Conveniently located along the arterial Sheikh Zayed Road, the complex adjoins the high speed metro's DWTC station.
