After five decades at Dubai World Trade Centre, World Health Expo (formerly Arab Health) has entered a new era. Our new home is Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), at Expo City Dubai.
This move reflects our continued growth and commitment to delivering a seamless, world-class experience for our global community.
Formerly Arab Health
Our new home: Dubai Exhibition Centre
Why the move?
After 50 years at the Dubai World Trade Centre, WHX Dubai (formerly Arab Health) has outgrown its space. You told us you wanted easier access, more room to connect, and a venue that matches the global scale of healthcare today.
That’s why we’ve moved to the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) in Expo City. This landmark venue is purpose-built for global business and collaboration. The move marks a new chapter for WHX Dubai: a new name, a new venue, and new opportunities to match the needs of the healthcare industry.
At DEC, you’ll enjoy direct access via the Dubai Metro, improved road links, and more parking. Inside, smarter hall layouts, more F&B options, and beautifully designed outdoor spaces make networking seamless and comfortable. It’s a venue built for global business; and the perfect new home for WHX Dubai.
