A model of Dubai’s latest resort development, Madinat Jumeirah, was unveiled yesterday, May 7, at the ninth Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the Middle East’s travel and tourism show taking place at the Airport Expo Dubai. The project’s first phase is due for completion by summer next year.
Being built next to the Burj Al-Arab, Madinat Jumeirah will have two 300-room, five star hotels and clusters of 340 rooms and suites in courtyard villas, all featuring authentic architecture reflecting the heritage and culture of Dubai and Arabia, according to a company press release.
ATM, organized by Reed Travel Exhibitions (RTE), is set within two exhibition halls, which feature over 700 exhibitors from 56 countries. Spanning over 8,500 square meters, ATM has the first official participation in the series of Algeria, South Africa, Mauritius, Korea and Greece. The show features 212 stands—68 of which are new to the show. The exhibition also features its first exhibitor from Senegal and the debut participation of the Palestine National Authority. — (menareport.com)
