A Better Base for Busy DWTC Event Days

The exhibition floor is built for introductions. It is not always the best place for the conversations that follow.

MAKTABI gives attendees, exhibitors and visiting teams somewhere quieter to meet, prepare and work without travelling to another part of Dubai.

For Event Attendees

Answer emails, join a call or prepare for your next appointment away from the crowds. When your schedule has gaps, MAKTABI gives you a focused place to use them well.

For Exhibitors

Move important conversations away from a busy stand. Meet buyers, suppliers and prospects in a private room, then return to your event.

For Visiting Teams, Speakers and Partners

Brief your team, prepare before a session or hold a follow-up meeting in a business setting close to the halls.

Why Choose MAKTABI During Events at DWTC?

Close to the Exhibition Halls

MAKTABI is located inside the Sheikh Rashid Tower at Dubai World Trade Centre, a mere two-minute walk from the exhibition halls. This means you can stay within the DWTC area instead of arranging transport to another part of the city.
