Middle East Meeting and Event Planning Guide

The Middle East is a grand epic, a cradle of civilizations and a beautiful, complicated land that's home to some of the planet's most hospitable people. The Middle East’s cities read like a roll-call of historical heavyweights: Jerusalem, Beirut, Cairo, İstanbul, Esfahan... Aside from ranking among the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, these ancient-modern metropolises are places to take the pulse of a region. It is in the Middle East's cities, too, that you find the stirring, aspirational architecture that so distinguishes the three great monotheistic faiths. Countries like Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are spearheading a major infrastructure boom – with Qatar diversifying and enhancing tourism facilities for business stopovers, Saudi Arabia expanding the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Abu Dhabi's convention bureau and Dubai World Trade Centre, Middle East has definitely became one of the best MICE focused region of the world.
