The 2025 edition of World Cigar Show is moving to a new location within Dubai. This week, it was announced the show will now take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). Previously the show was going to be held at the Festival City Arena in Dubai. The original November 11-12 dates that the show was scheduled remain unchanged.
The move is taking place for two reasons. First the move to DWTC puts the World Cigar Show in the downtown hub of Dubai. Second, World Tobacco Middle East, a show focused on tobacco products outside premium cigars is taking place at DWTC int he same venue on the same dates. Attendees of the World Cigar Show will receive free access to World Tobacco Middle East.
The World Cigar Show is a joint-venture between Quartz Business Events and the Premium Cigar Association. The idea of World Cigar Show 2025 in Dubai is to give premium cigar manufacturers access to buyers in emerging markets. These markers include the GCC (Gulf Corporation Council, the Arabian Peninsula region), Central Asia, and the Far East. This is the first time the Premium Cigar Association was partnered with a trade show outside the United States.
