Our work

Recent work in the UAE

We have no Abu Dhabi project to show yet. Here is our most recent UAE event, with regional work below.

Branch inauguration · Muwaileh, Sharjah · 2025

Lulu Exchange branch inauguration

Before our first Abu Dhabi event, this is the closest example: the opening of a Lulu Exchange branch in Muwaileh, Sharjah, in 2025. We managed the ribbon-cutting with management and guests, a first-customer moment for photos, and a cake-cutting, without interrupting the branch's normal service.

  • VIP welcome and ribbon-cutting
  • Photo moment with the first customer
  • Celebration run alongside live service

Planning guide

Planning an event in Abu Dhabi: what to know

6 practical points we cover with every client before a date or venue is fixed.

Choose between island and city venues

ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi suits large exhibitions and conferences. Yas and Saadiyat islands offer resort hotels and outdoor settings, while hotels on the Corniche and Al Maryah Island are convenient for business audiences.

Allow time for the tourism permit

Many events in Abu Dhabi need a permit from the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, as well as venue and safety approvals. We confirm the requirements when the format is set.

Check the exhibition calendar

Large shows at ADNEC can fill hotels and tie up suppliers. We check the calendar before you confirm a date.

Plan the drive from Dubai

The drive between Dubai and Abu Dhabi takes around 90 minutes. For guests or crew coming from Dubai, we schedule transfers outside rush hour.

Hold outdoor events in the winter months

From October to April, evenings are comfortable for terraces and beach venues. In summer, plan indoors or late in the evening.

Expect a formal tone

Government and corporate audiences in the capital expect clear protocol, short speeches and punctual timings. We script the running order accordingly.

Budget

What affects the cost of an event in Abu Dhabi?

An Abu Dhabi budget is shaped mostly by venue choice and travel. The main lines are:

  • Venue: exhibition centre, island resort or city hotel
  • Delegate or guest numbers and the VIP list
  • Stage, LED walls, lighting and interpretation equipment
  • Catering from coffee breaks to plated gala dinners
  • Transfers for guests and crew travelling from Dubai
  • Permits, security and civil defence requirements

For typical ranges, read our Saudi event cost guide.
