Industry watchers are turning their attention to Expo City Dubai as Myplant & Garden Middle East prepares to welcome horticulture and landscaping professionals to the Dubai Exhibition Centre from Saturday 15 November to Monday 17 November 2025, with visitor hours listed as 09:30 to 18:00 each day. The new trade fair extends the long running Italian Myplant & Garden brand into the Gulf, positioning Dubai as a regional hub for ornamental plants, urban greening and sustainable outdoor design. Organisers describe the show as a platform where nursery owners, landscape architects, irrigation specialists and machinery suppliers can meet under one roof. Exhibitors plan to showcase live greenery, smart irrigation systems, soil and substrate technologies, garden furniture and outdoor decor. On Monday 17 November, the third and last day, the exhibition again opens from 09:30 in the morning and runs until 18:00 in the evening.
Green industry showcase at Expo City
The organisers present Myplant & Garden Middle East as the region’s first dedicated B2B green industry expo, aimed at professionals who shape parks, gardens, resorts and shaded urban spaces. Exhibitor lists highlight nurseries, greenhouse builders, rooftop farming specialists, turf and sports field suppliers, lighting designers and producers of outdoor structures. Alongside product stands, visitors can expect talks and demonstrations on sustainable irrigation, drought tolerant plant selection and climate adapted landscaping. The fair arrives at a time when the Gulf’s wider landscape and urban redevelopment market is reported to be worth tens of billions of dollars, which explains the strong institutional backing behind the launch. Because the concept targets the professional supply chain, it suits trade visitors and business delegations rather than casual tourists (primarily solo professionals, small teams and industry buyers).
Daily schedule and visitor profile
According to the published schedule, doors open to visitors at 09:30 and close at 18:00 on Saturday 15, Sunday 16 and Monday 17 November 2025. The final day keeps the same timetable, giving late planners one more chance to explore stands and schedule meetings. Mornings usually start more slowly, then traffic builds into the late morning and mid afternoon as buyers work through their appointment lists. Landscape firms, municipal departments, hotel groups, facility managers and plant wholesalers make up most of the expected audience. Many visitors already hold pre booked meetings with suppliers or prospective partners and then use any remaining time to walk through new product zones. Visitor information emphasises that opening hours for all three days run from 09:30 to 18:00, which helps planners slot the exhibition into a wider Dubai schedule.
Tickets, registration and pricing in AED
Current ticketing pages list the show as free to attend, with prices displayed as “from AED 0.00” for standard entry once visitors complete online registration. In practice, this means trade professionals can usually access the exhibition halls without paying a door fee, although organisers may charge separately for closed workshops, masterclasses or business lounges. Registration systems often ask for company details, role and sector so that the audience remains focused on industry stakeholders. Families who simply enjoy plants and gardens can, in principle, walk the show floor, yet the atmosphere will feel more like a business event than a leisure fair. Because promotional conditions can change, visitors should treat the zero cost entry as approximately AED 0 and double check registration requirements before travelling.
Expo City venue layout and services
Dubai Exhibition Centre sits at the heart of Expo City, with multiple halls, airy concourses and easy pedestrian links to surrounding cafes, restaurants and shaded outdoor spaces. The precinct was purpose built for large international gatherings, so wayfinding signs, cooling routes and generous indoor seating areas already exist. Visitors will find plenty of food and beverage options within walking distance, which helps when planning a full day between 09:30 and 18:00. Accessibility features such as ramps, lifts and clearly marked facilities support attendees with reduced mobility. Visitor FAQs from the venue highlight that parking at Dubai Exhibition Centre is free, although the bays closest to the halls can fill quickly during busy hours (children and family friendly spaces are available, and the setting also works well for couples or solo visitors).
Arriving from within Dubai
For many Dubai based visitors, the easiest option is the Red Line of the Dubai Metro, which runs directly to Expo 2020 Metro Station at the edge of Expo City. From there, the Dubai Exhibition Centre is only a short walk, with clear signs pointing toward the halls. Trains serve major districts such as Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Mall of the Emirates, Downtown Dubai and the airport terminals, with typical one way fares ranging from approximately 3 to 7.5 AED depending on zones and card type. Taxis remain widely available across the city and can drop passengers close to the entrance, with journeys from central Dubai often falling somewhere between 60 and 100 AED one way, depending on traffic and starting point. Morning congestion around some arterial roads still appears between about 07:30 and 09:00, so leaving earlier or combining metro and taxi usually saves time. For many visitors, the most stress free plan is to ride the metro to Expo 2020 station then walk or take a short onward shuttle to the exhibition (suitable for solo visitors, couples and small business groups).
Travel plans from Abu Dhabi and other emirates
Visitors driving from Abu Dhabi can follow Sheikh Zayed Road toward Dubai, then continue to the well signposted Expo City exits that lead directly to the Dubai Exhibition Centre parking zones. Depending on the starting district and traffic conditions, the journey usually takes around one hour and thirty minutes to nearly two hours each way, so it makes sense to depart early enough to arrive before 09:00. Sharjah based attendees may prefer to reach Dubai by car or intercity bus, then transfer to the Red Line and continue to Expo 2020 station, which keeps costs predictable and avoids city centre parking. Public transport users should budget approximately 25 to 35 AED per person for a combination of intercity bus and metro fares. When returning in the evening, leaving a little later, for example after 18:30, often avoids the sharpest commuter peak. Drivers from other emirates should build generous buffers into their schedule so that any delays at weekend bottlenecks do not cut into meeting times (suitable for solo professionals, business delegations and trade couples).
Weekend lead up and show atmosphere
Because the event stretches from Saturday 15 to Monday 17 November, many professionals may choose to begin their visit over the weekend and then use the Monday for targeted follow ups. Saturdays at trade fairs often feel busy but relaxed, with visitors taking time to explore landscaping displays, plant collections and design ideas in more detail. Sundays can shift toward focused meetings as buyers and suppliers sit down to discuss pricing, deliveries and long term projects. The Monday date then becomes a useful last opportunity to confirm agreements, revisit promising stands or attend late scheduled talks. Across all three days, the mood should blend business focused networking with the visual appeal of live plants and show gardens, which makes the experience pleasant even when the agenda is full (family visits are possible, but the programme still primarily targets trade attendees).
Weather, clothing and practical warnings
Forecasts for Dubai between Friday 14 and Monday 17 November 2025 indicate mostly sunny to hazy conditions, with daytime highs around 31 degrees and overnight lows near 22 degrees, and no significant rain risk currently flagged. Light, breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes and a hat or sunglasses are sensible for the short outdoor stretches between metro, parking and the halls, while a lightweight jacket or shawl helps when air conditioning feels cool during longer conference sessions. Drivers should remember that traffic into the Expo City area and along connecting highways tends to peak in the early morning and early evening, so arriving before 09:00 and leaving after the closing time of 18:00 can noticeably reduce congestion. Visitor parking at the Dubai Exhibition Centre remains free, yet the spaces nearest to the entrances often fill quickly during major events, which gives public transport an extra advantage on busy days. Ticket listings currently show entry starting from approximately AED 0.00, but organisers may adjust conditions closer to the date, so it is always wise to treat prices as indicative only. Editors at www.few.ae often remind exhibition visitors that planning around the heat, treating prices as approximately and allowing extra travel time will make a long day at Myplant & Garden Middle East far more comfortable and productive.
