The Express Group is based in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Many centuries ago, Marco Polo described the city as a bustling commercial centre and today, the modern metropolis is the nerve-centre of trade and commerce for the Middle East, and a strategic springboard to the US$ 200 billion regional consumer market.

During the past 10 years, Dubai's annual GDP growth has remained around eight per cent, serving as a hub to a regional population of 1.8 billion with a combined GDP of US$ 1.5 trillion. The UAE is the third largest economic power in the Arab world and a country where every one in 67 residents is a dollar millionaire and Dubai is a bright beacon for the region. The Express Group is an integral part of this vibrant society.
