Look for daily showcases where brands highlight craftsmanship, gemstone quality, and after-sales options (suitable for couples, solo).
Daily plan suggestions
Plan a mid-morning visit for quieter aisles, then return late afternoon for brand presentations and meet-the-designer sessions. Keep 20–30 minutes between activities for walking and queues. Carry a light layer for cool halls and schedule short breaks so you do not miss headline showcases (children/family-friendly, solo).
Getting there within Abu Dhabi
From downtown Abu Dhabi, taxi or ride-hailing to ADNEC typically takes 15–25 minutes outside peak, costing approximately AED 25–50 one way. Evening traffic builds from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. City buses serve stops near ADNEC; a short walk may be required depending on your route (children/family-friendly, solo).
Coming from Dubai and Sharjah
By car via E11, allow 60–90 minutes from Dubai and 75–105 minutes from Sharjah depending on departure time. Leave before 3:30 PM to avoid the heaviest evening flows. Intercity bus to Abu Dhabi (approximately AED 25), then taxi to ADNEC (approximately AED 25–45) is a budget-friendly alternative (suitable for couples, solo).
Coming from Al Ain and Northern Emirates
From Al Ain, take E22 toward Abu Dhabi and budget 90–120 minutes in normal conditions. Plan an earlier return to avoid late-evening ramps near major interchanges. From Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah, expect 2.5–3 hours and consider a rest stop before entering Abu Dhabi city limits (solo, families).
Parking and on-site movement
ADNEC provides multi-storey and surface parking; tariffs vary by zone and time, typically approximately AED 10–20 per hour. Parking capacity is limited near 6:00 PM. Follow marshal guidance for overflow lots and use internal corridors to move easily between halls (children/family-friendly, solo).

Public admission policies are usually announced closer to opening; previous editions have offered free entry with registration. Assume AED 0 with registration, subject to change. Light meals and coffee at on-site cafés generally range AED 20–45 per item; taxi returns within Abu Dhabi usually total AED 25–50 (suitable for couples, solo).
Safety and suitability
The exhibition is designed for all visitors, with accessible routes, seating areas, and staffed assistance points. Keep valuables secure and request sealed packaging for high-value purchases.
