The Turkish Trade Center is characterized by being built in a vital and strategic location, near the “Palm Islands” located in the Emirate of Dubai overlooking the Arabian Gulf, and the selection of this site for the construction of this center is one of its most prominent features and indicates an extensive planning study of the commercial center before its launch.

 

Features of Turkey Mall in Dubai

  • Vital and touristic geographical location

  • The total area of ​​the mall is about 14,000 square meters

  • In the center is a very large showroom with an area of ​​8000 square meters

Advantages of the Turkish Trade Center in Dubai

The opening of the commercial center was not a natural event. Rather, it has its positives that led to its opening and will result from the work of this center within Turkish territory. Among the positives that the Turkey Commercial Center in Dubai holds:

  • An advanced step in trade cooperation between Turkey and the UAE

  • Revitalizing Turkish businesses in the Middle East, and the entry of Turkish products into more Arab markets.

  • Increasing the proportion of Turkish exports to the UAE and many Arab countries

  • The commercial center is expected to be a first step towards the leadership of the Turkish foreign centers and an encouraging step for the opening of similar centers not only in the Middle East, but Turkish commercial activities may reach the West African markets.

  • The region in which Turkey's commercial center was established is in a commercial market open to the Middle East markets, and investments in it amount to about 3 billion US dollars annually, so it was necessary for Turkish products to reach this market and benefit from it.

  • The inclusion of Turkish furniture and furnishings in the list of Turkish exports to the UAE is important and positively affects the value and quality of trade exchange between the two countries, and this matter is expected after the launch of the Turkey Trade Center in the UAE.

  • The UAE benefits from this center by providing luxurious Turkish furniture on Turkish soil more and more easily, as the number of hotels in Dubai has exceeded the threshold of 600 hotels, all of which are of large capacity, and the legal systems in Dubai require hotels to renew the decorations at least once every five years.

  • Most of the luxurious Emirati hotels (five stars) renew furniture, marble, room curtains, and even chandeliers at least once a year, and the Turkish commercial center will be the biggest beneficiary of this.

  • The touristic position of Dubai also makes the center useful for tens of thousands of foreigners per month, as well as for tourism projects, commercial offices and anyone who needs Turkish furniture, or who wants to buy Turkish furniture.

 

  • The center's greatest importance, according to observers of Turkish-Emirati relations, is that it gives a positive effect to mutual commercial investments between the two countries, especially as it is not affected by differences in political visions between them. This is one of the most important signs of economic strength in both countries, and an important catalyst for trade cooperation between them.


 

Of course, there is no surprise in that. Who knows the nature of the Emirati openness to foreign investments and remembers the saying of Sheikh Zayed, the founder of the UAE in this context - when Emirati investors objected to the openness of their country to foreign investments - where he said:

"When you see a foreign investor carrying his project with him to his plane, put it down
