Technology & ICT

- Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA)
DMCC hosts over 21,000 registered companies and is a global hub for gold, diamonds, and tea trading. JAFZA, adjacent to Jebel Ali Port, is a major logistics and manufacturing free zone, making Dubai a key node in global supply chains.
Aviation & Freight Logistics

Training venue
Dubai offers an extensive range of 4- and 5-star hotels and purpose-built conference centres, many with dedicated training and meeting rooms equipped with modern AV technology. Business districts such as Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai Internet City are well served by hotels accustomed to hosting corporate training events.
Getting there
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the city's main gateway, located approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai. The Dubai Metro Red Line connects the airport to key business districts; taxis, ride-hailing apps (Careem, Uber), and hotel shuttle services are widely available.
Visa
Over 80 nationalities qualify for visa-on-arrival in the UAE, with free 30-day or 90-day stamps depending on passport. Nationals not eligible for visa-on-arrival can apply for an e-visa online or through UAE-based airlines; passports must be valid for at least six months. Confirm current requirements with the UAE's official government portal (u.ae) or your nearest embassy before travel.
Safety
Dubai is generally very safe for visitors, with low crime rates. Delegates should observe local laws on public decency and dress modestly in non-resort areas; alcohol is only permitted in licensed venues, and public intoxication can result in penalties.
