Attendees from more than 100 countries expected to attend DEAL 2023
January 10, 2023

The Dubai Entertainment, Amusement & Leisure Show (DEAL) - the Middle East’s largest attractions and entertainment exhibition - is returning in March.

DEAL’s 29th edition will once again showcase the local, regional and global social entertainment centre and theme park industry within the Middle East and Africa region and its ongoing pathways of growth.

Being held from 14th to 16th March 2023 at the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates, this year’s DEAL is expected to build on the success of its 28th edition last year, which attracted buyers and trade visitors from 100 countries.

With spending on leisure, amusement and theme parks in the Middle East and Africa expected to reach US$609 million in 2023, top exhibitors from across more than 40 countries, DEAL 2023 will build on its successful previous editions and will be showcasing one of its largest B2B events in the Arabian Gulf region this year.

Just over two months away, DEAL 2023 will be a lucrative platform for exhibitors from Australia, New Zealand and East Asian who are keen to explore and establish their presence in the wider MENA region.

Looking forward to the show, Sharif Rahman, Chief Executive of International EXPO Consults, organisers of the DEAL Show, advised “DEAL means business and we are extremely focused when it comes to onboarding trade visitors so that it benefits our valued exhibitors.

“With a curated and proven business model, we have replicated the success story for 29 consecutive years. DEAL thereby serves as the ideal platform for the amusement industry to achieve that important goal.

“Our show has enabled several global brands in the last three decades to establish a very firm footprint in the region and apart from a strong brand presence, we have also enabled them to multiply their profits.

“DEAL is now a permanent home to some of the leading global exhibitors that have been participating since the very first edition which showcases the trust the industry has in DEAL. The 29th edition will be one of the largest editions of the show and will propel the industry further ahead.”
