Working together to develop regional potential

A rich history and maritime heritage make the Middle East a cruise destination packed full of treasures. Still a land cloaked in mystery and intrigue, the region offers a tantalising mix of vibrant culture, stunning architecture and scenic splendour.

Desert safaris, dune surfing, wadi bashing, shopping in the many souqs and magnificent shopping malls, five-star restaurants, horse racing and even Formula 1 racing are just some of the tempting activities on offer to cruise passengers in the region.

As a rising star in the tourism industry with double-digit growth rates versus 4% as the world average, the Middle East is keen to build on its growing share of the cruise market. More international and luxury brands are deploying to the region and passenger numbers are rising sharply at all major ports of call. However, more cruise ports and a greater variety of shore excursions are needed in the Middle East if the industry is to further expand.

Be part of the Seatrade Middle East Cruise Convention

Representatives of the world’s cruise lines will meet with regional stakeholders in Dubai this October for the Seatrade Middle East Cruise Convention; two days of engaging conference, exhibition, travel agent training and workshops, where regional destinations will have a rare chance to present their product one-on-one to cruise line decision-makers.
