The first-established Trade Exhibition Centre in the United Arab Emirates, EXPO CENTRE SHARJAH became the booming centre for international trade. In these years, it has been the most popular trade exhibition venue and home of the Gulf's best attended trade shows. It serves, almost exclusively, the growing trade of the northern Emirates of Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujeirah and Umm Al Quwain. It links, by arterial highways, the capital of Abu Dhabi and beyond into Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the Middle East. Northwards it serves Oman and Yemen. The new world-class exhibition and meeting complex is a spectacular tribute to the growing importance of the UAE as the commercial hub of the Middle East. As the region's prime meetings destination, the centre offers the perfect combination of sophisticated technical facilities and professional services across a broad spectrum of events.
