World Luxury Expo, Abu Dhabi, the third edition of the World Luxury Expo series, will be hosted at the magnificent Emirates Palace from September 27th-29th 2013, and is set to become an annual fixture for the UAE capital city.

The World Luxury Expo series has been gaining momentum and traction among many of the world’s leading luxury brands.

World Luxury Group has recently concluded two successful World Luxury Expos, the inaugural event was held at Burj Al Arab, Dubai in January and the second in February at the palatial Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh earlier this year.

World Luxury Expo showcases a selection of the world’s leading luxury brands to an invitation-only three-day event to high-net worth private clientele from across the GCC region.

Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a city which is positioning itself as one of the luxury retail capitals of the world, and the luxury market in Abu Dhabi is one of the most strategically important, and indeed lucrative.

Most of the premium brand retailers are planning rapid expansion into Abu Dhabi, and this trend is set to continue with a multitude of luxury retail developments in the pipe-line and developments underway in the city.

According to Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2013, the number of high net worth individuals in the UAE, having a fortune of US$30 million, is set rise by 53 per cent over the next decade.

World Luxury Expo will feature a broad selection of carefully selected categories including fine art, high-end jewellery and fashion, hand-crafted time pieces, designer furniture and exquisite table settings, automobiles, fine dining, private aviation, and luxury travel.

All participating exhibitors are leaders in their respective fields, executing superior design qualities and constantly striving for the ultimate in quality and perfection.

Following the Abu Dhabi edition, World Luxury Expo will continue to Doha from November 14th-16th 2013.

Then the Expo travels to Kuwait in December and returns to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2014, creating an annual signature series of events in the GCC region.
