The WFH 2025 Comprehensive Care Summit will feature specialized tracks for MSK, medical professionals, and people with bleeding disorders, bringing together experts, patients, and advocates from around the world. The event will take place at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, a hotel with a focus on business travelers which is only one kilometre from Dubai International Airport.

As a participant, you will have many opportunities to expand their learning. And while you’re there… why not expand your cultural horizons, as well?

Dubai, a dazzling metropolis in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E), offers more than just modern skyscrapers and luxurious malls. Read on to find out why Dubai stands out as a unique destination, especially for those visiting for just a few days.

Iconic landmarks and architecture

A visit to a landmark like the Burj Khalifa—the tallest building in the world—is a must. The observation deck offers panoramic views of the city and desert. Nearby, the Dubai Fountain presents a spectacular show of water, music, and lights in the evening.

The Burj Al Arab, often referred to as the world’s only 7-star hotel, is another icon. While you may not have time to stay there, a quick visit for afternoon tea or a meal will give you a quick taste of luxury.

Desert adventures

A trip to Dubai isn’t complete without experiencing the desert. A desert safari will give you the chance to try dune bashing (driving over dunes in a 4×4 vehicle), camel rides, and even sandboarding. Many safaris end with a traditional Bedouin-style dinner, complete with belly dancing and henna tattoos.

Cultural experiences

A visit to the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood offers visitors a glimpse of Dubai’s past, while the Dubai Museum, located in Al Fahidi Fort, provides a look at the city’s transformation from a fishing village to a global city.

Don’t miss a traditional Abra ride across the Dubai Creek, which offers a more authentic experience compared to the glitzy lifestyle the city is known for. The creek was once a central part of Dubai’s trade routes and remains vital for transportation today.

World-class dining

Dubai’s culinary scene is as diverse as its population. Whether you’re craving traditional Middle Eastern food or international gourmet dishes, you’ll find it all. High-end restaurants by celebrity chefs are scattered across the city, especially in Downtown Dubai and in the Dubai Marina. But don’t overlook the local cuisine. A meal of shawarma, hummus, and falafel from a smaller eatery or a food truck will give you a true taste of the Middle East.

Transportation

Dubai’s metro system is modern, affordable, and connects most major attractions, including the airport. With taxis readily available, it’s easy to move between meetings and leisure activities. Moreover, Dubai’s international airport is one of the busiest in the world, meaning you can easily connect to other global destinations if you’re extending your trip.
