Around 800 leading firms from across the world will be setting up their stalls at the mega interiors show to be held in Dubai in October, providing Britons on luxury holidays in the country with an array of handsome bargains.
To be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from October 22 to 25, the Index show - the region's largest event of its kind - will have representatives from 49 countries.
The newest and most innovative models of interior design in sections such as furnishing, lighting and outdoor living will be showcased at the event which is into its 21st edition this year.
"The introduction of the product-specific shows solidifies Index's position as the 'must attend' design show for industry professionals from the Mena region," said Paula Al Chami, the show's event director.
Dubai's efforts at cutting its carbon footprint will also capture the imagination of backpackers committed to green causes. Authorities regularly dim street lamps with a view to cutting energy consumption in the country.
