The big Dubai amusement expo opened on Monday morning to increased footfall and a bigger show than last year.

DEAL later next year

Running until Wednesday, DEAL - the Dubai Entertainment, Amusement and Leisure show - is now the premier event in the international calendar behind IAAPA and competes with the European EAS and Asia’s AAE in June.

Organiser International Expo Consults announced that the 2018 show would go back to slightly later dates, opening on Sunday, April 8, for three days.
