Our recommendations for accommodation during the Summit

We encourage delegates to stay at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City, which is directly connected to the Summit venue. Its elegant rooms, spa facilities, and fine dining experiences allow guests to seamlessly transition between the intensity of the Summit and moments of relaxation.

Beyond the main stage, delegates will be invited to immerse themselves in unforgettable cultural and adventure experiences designed to spark connection and creativity. These are bucket list experiences and included in qualifying ticket prices. 

  • Arabian Night in the Desert: A once-in-a-lifetime evening beneath the stars, featuring a sunset safari, Bedouin-style camp, Emirati culinary delights, and live entertainment including traditional oud, Tanoura dancers, and fire shows.
