Jewellery Arabia 2026 at a glance: dates, venue and entry

- Dates: Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 November 2026.

The show facts in this guide, from dates to halls and travel times, come from the organiser’s website and Bahrain’s official tourism and calendar sites, as we read them on 20 October 2026. Plans can change, so check the organiser’s site before you set off.
Jewellery Arabia 2026 opening hours
The opening times are on the organiser’s travel and venue page. Check them there before your visit.
You can still choose your day now. The organiser suggests the first three days, Tuesday 24 to Thursday 26 November, arriving at opening time, to avoid peak times. Friday and Saturday fall on the weekend in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
How to register for Jewellery Arabia 2026
Jewellery Arabia registration is free, and so is entry. The organiser still asks every visitor to register, for security reasons, according to its visitor FAQ.
You can do it in one of two ways. Register online in advance with the “Register to visit” button on the organiser’s website. Or register on site when you arrive. Doing it ahead means one less step at the entrance.
One registration covers the whole show, because it is not tied to a date. That lets you split a big visit in two: compare pieces on one day, then come back on another day to decide.
The same pass also opens Scent Arabia and Cityscape Bahrain, the organiser says. Check their dates before you plan around them. Bahrain’s events calendar lists Scent Arabia from 24 to 26 November only, while Cityscape Bahrain runs all five days.
Getting to Exhibition World Bahrain
Exhibition World Bahrain is in Sakhir, at Block 1062, Road 6204. It sits near the Bahrain International Circuit, home of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. The travel details below come from the organiser’s travel and venue page.
By car from Saudi Arabia
From Saudi Arabia, you can drive over the King Fahd Causeway, which links Bahrain to the Eastern Province. The causeway is about 25 km long. The venue is about 30 km from the causeway entrance, according to the organiser. Save the venue address in your map app before you leave, because the venue is in Sakhir, not in Manama.
By air
Bahrain International Airport is about 15 km from the venue. The organiser puts the trip at 15 to 20 minutes by taxi or ride-share.
By taxi or ride-share
Bahrain Taxi runs around the clock, according to the organiser, and ride-share apps such as Uber and Careem work too. A car to the door means you never have to think about parking.
Parking and shuttle buses
The organiser lists free parking at the venue, signposted on the day. Spaces near the main and west entrances are limited, though. There is also free all-day parking at the Bahrain International Circuit. Shuttle buses run between the circuit car parks and the halls for as long as the show is open, so the circuit is the easier choice when the venue car parks fill up.
Where to stay
If you are staying the night, the organiser suggests three areas. Sakhir and Zallaq are closest, about 5 to 10 minutes away. Seef, with its malls and restaurants, is about 20 minutes away. Manama city centre is about 25 minutes away. Hotels fill up during the show, so book early. If you stay in Manama, you can also visit our Manama boutique before or after the show.
What you will see: jewellery, watches and the halls
Jewellery Arabia is a Bahrain jewellery exhibition made for shoppers. The organiser calls it the world’s largest consumer jewellery and watch shopping event, and Informa Markets runs it. For 2026 the organiser lists more than 700 exhibitors across seven halls: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Last year the show had more than 600 brands in five halls, 657 exhibitors and more than 56,000 visitors, according to Bahrain Tourism.
The halls are grouped into pavilions, as listed on the organiser’s features page. Knowing where each one sits saves a lot of walking:
- Bahraini Gold Souq, Halls 9 and 10: more than 40 gold exhibitors, from traditional pieces to modern designs.
- Jewellery Collective, Hall 6: a curated group of fine jewellery brands, new for 2026.
- Italian Pavilion, Hall 3: Italian jewellery makers, new for 2026.
- Indian Pavilions, Halls 7 and 9: more than 50 brands from India.
- Asian Pavilion, Hall 10: more than 70 jewellery companies.
- Lab-Grown Diamonds Pavilion, Hall 7: new for 2026.
- Silver Pavilion and Amber Pavilion, Hall 10: both new for 2026.
Hall 10 holds the most groups on that list: part of the Gold Souq, plus the Asian, Silver and Amber pavilions. Give it extra time. If gold is what you came for, start at the Gold Souq, which brings traditional Gulf designs and newer gold pieces together in two halls.
Diamonds come in two kinds at this show. The Lab-Grown Diamonds Pavilion is in Hall 7, and the organiser says more lab-grown companies sit in the Indian and Asian pavilions. Lab-grown diamonds are made in a laboratory, while natural diamonds formed in the earth. The two can look the same to the eye, so ask which kind you are looking at before you compare pieces.
Watches have their place too. The organiser describes watches made for collectors, enthusiasts and style-led buyers. If a watch is on your list, check the brand list first to see which watch brands are coming.
Some brands bring collections made for the show, according to the organiser’s event guide. If you like new pieces, ask each stand what it made for this year’s show.
The organiser’s official app has an AI assistant called Dana that helps you find brands, and the organiser says maps of the halls will be added closer to the show. Download it before you go and mark the stands you want to see.
Visit Kooheji Jewellery at Jewellery Arabia 2026
Kooheji Jewellery is a Bahraini jeweller, and we will be at Jewellery Arabia 2026. It is not our first time: at the 2024 show we unveiled a diamond of more than 100 carats and ran a 4D display on the show’s giant screens.
Our Kooheji collections, such as Farah and Rasha, are crafted in 18K gold, which means 75% pure gold mixed with other metals.
Before the show, look through a few of our collections online, so you know what to ask about at the stand. Farah holds our 18K gold solitaire rings, and Rasha brings together diamond rings, earrings and necklaces in 18K gold. If you are planning a wedding, start with our bridal jewellery. For colour, clarity and cut, the grades that set a diamond apart, see Kooheji Diamonds.
Can’t make the show? You can book an appointment with our jewellery experts, or visit our boutiques in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Tips for your visit
Seven halls is a lot of ground. A little planning makes the day much easier.
Before you go
Register online so you can skip that step at the door. Then look through the 2026 brand list linked from the organiser’s website and pick the stands you most want to see. Note their halls, and use the pavilion list above to plan a route that does not cross the venue twice.
If you plan to buy, set a budget before you arrive. With hundreds of brands in one place, it is easy to fall for more than you meant to.
On the day
Wear comfortable shoes. Arrive near opening time if you want quieter aisles, as the organiser recommends for the first three days.
Free WiFi covers all the halls, so the app and your saved notes work inside. Food and drinks are in the main corridor, with coffee and light snacks inside the halls. There are ATMs at the venue too.
Ask questions at every stand you like. Ask which metal and karat a piece is made in, whether a diamond is natural or lab-grown, and what paperwork comes with it. Our guide to choosing a diamond store sets out what to look for in a jeweller. Take a photo of the stand number, or save the brand’s contact details, so you can find them again.
After the show
Sort the notes and contacts you collected while they are fresh. If a piece stayed on your mind, contact the brand and ask more before you decide. If you buy a piece, keep the receipt and any certificate that comes with it somewhere safe.
