Dubai Design Week returns to Dubai Design District (d3), 3-8 November 2026, marking the 12th edition of the region’s leading design festival.
For more than a decade, Dubai Design Week has brought together designers, architects, creative practitioners and audiences from across the region and beyond.
This year, the festival turns its attention to the role design can play in strengthening connection at a time when the ways we interact, work and communicate are being rapidly reshaped.
