Yachting enthusiasts planning luxury holidays in Dubai may be excited to hear that Dubai Creek Marina will host the Pre-Owned Boat Show between November 17 and 19.
The boat show - the only one of its kind in the Middle East - is a 'one stop-shop' for sellers and buyers of pre-owned yachts.
Organisers said the boat show attracts adults as well as kids.
More than 5,000 people attended the show's inaugural event in 2010.
Mustafa Al Hashimi, club manager of Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, said: "Based on the high turnout and success of last year's show, along with the increased demand we have seen by buyers and interest from sponsors leading up to this year's event, we expect this year's event to be even bigger and better.
"We are accommodating this growth in demand by increasing the space available for boats on water and land to over 75 this year. This may go up further still depending on demand. The marina related retail area has also been significantly expanded, seeing an increase of 20%, covering everything from navigation units to boat engines."
