Jewellery Arabia 2026

Jewellery Arabia 2026 is a major jewellery and watch exhibition held at Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, Kingdom of Bahrain, from 24 to 28 November 2026. It brings together jewellers, watch brands and designers from many countries under one roof. It suits shoppers, collectors and trade buyers from across the Gulf and the wider Arab region.

About Jewellery Arabia

Jewellery Arabia is organised by Informa Markets and is held under royal patronage, according to the official website. The organiser describes it as the world's largest jewellery and watch shopping event, and says the show spans seven halls with more than 700 brands from over 25 exhibiting countries. Visitors can browse fine jewellery, gold, diamonds, pearls, gemstones and luxury watches, and meet designers and manufacturers directly.

Bahrain has a long pearling heritage, and the show is a natural fit for travellers who want to combine shopping with a short break in the kingdom. Late November is also a pleasant time to visit, with milder weather that suits walks around Manama, Bahrain Fort and the Pearling Path in Muharraq, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Jewellery Arabia 2026 dates and venue

The official dates for Jewellery Arabia 2026 are 24 to 28 November 2026. The venue is Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, the kingdom's large exhibition centre in the south of the island. Visitor registration, daily opening hours and the event guide are on the official Jewellery Arabia website. Check whether any sessions are reserved for trade visitors before planning your days.

How to get to Bahrain for Jewellery Arabia

Visitors arrive at Bahrain International Airport (BAH) on Muharraq Island, which has direct links across the Gulf, the Levant, Egypt, Europe and Asia. Travellers from Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province can also drive across the King Fahd Causeway. From the airport or Manama, taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to reach Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir, about 30 to 40 minutes away depending on traffic.

Where to stay

Most visitors stay in Manama, in districts such as Seef, Juffair and the Bahrain Bay area, which offer a wide choice of hotels and restaurants. Amwaj Islands suits travellers who want a quieter beach base, while hotels in the southern part of the island are closer to Sakhir. Rooms fill quickly in late November, so book early.

Planning a group trip to Jewellery Arabia

A Bahrain shopping break built around Jewellery Arabia works well as a two- or three-night package, especially for travellers from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE. Agencies can add a city tour of Manama, the Bahrain National Museum and the Pearling Path to fill non-show days. For travellers coming by road, check border and causeway procedures well before departure.

For trade clients, the show is a chance to meet suppliers and see new collections. Ask clients to register on the official website before travelling and to book meetings with exhibitors in advance. Remind high-value shoppers to check customs rules for jewellery and watches in their home country.
