Art Dubai is an international trade fair that takes place in the city in the middle of March. It is a true magnet for all fans of art that invites them to become a part of the city’s cultural life. This is the time when Dubai becomes the international art capital. Numerous connoisseurs, as well as young talents, arrive from all parts of the world. Located at Madinat Jumeirah, this festival brings together all forms of art, including paintings, installations, performances, and sculptures. Artists from all over the world come to Dubai to represent their works. The festival is conventionally divided into three large sections, namely, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Every year, one country is chosen as the main one, and special attention is granted to artists from that country.
The Middle East Film & Comic Con or simply MEFCC is one more interesting event in the City of the Future. This exhibition, which starts at the beginning of April, is a true gift for all fans of anime and cosplay. The festival takes place in the Dubai World Trade Centre or DWTC, which is the venue’s short name. Without a doubt, that is the largest event of this kind in the whole region. At The Middle East Film & Comic Con, everyone can dress as their favorite character (or villain) and try to win in a costume contest. Besides the main program, visitors of the festival can play various video games and board games, participate in sports competitions or attend meet-and-greets with actors and directors. Master classes and film screenings have also become an essential part of the festival. Organizers also do not forget about kids – there is a special playground for them.
