About Jewellery Arabia
Jewellery Arabia, which its organiser Informa Markets calls the world's largest consumer jewellery and watch shopping event, returns to Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 November 2026.
First held in 1992 in a single hall, it now fills seven halls with more than 700 jewellery and watch brands from over 25 countries, from traditional Bahraini gold and the Gold Souq to international fine jewellery houses, watchmakers, country pavilions and couture accessories. The organiser counts more than 56,000 visitors, and one free pass also gives access to Scent Arabia and Cityscape Bahrain.
The show opens in the afternoon and evening, from 15:00 to 22:00 on most days and from 13:00 on Friday 27 November. Exhibition World Bahrain is about 15 km from Bahrain International Airport, which the organiser puts at 15 to 20 minutes by taxi, with Manama and Seef around 20 to 25 minutes away. This page shows live hotel rates in Sakhir, Seef, Bahrain Bay and Manama for the show dates.
Entry is free for visitors over 16 but registration is requested, and it is separate from your hotel booking.

Do you need a visa for Jewellery Arabia?
Who may need a visa
- Check the current visa rules for your passport before you travel, as they change and depend on your nationality
- Bahrain's official eVisa portal, evisa.gov.bh, publishes the lists of nationalities that can get a visa online or on arrival
- The portal says it is the only official website to apply for a visa to Bahrain, so be cautious of other sites offering visa help
eVisa / visa required
- Eligible travellers apply online at evisa.gov.bh, run by Bahrain's Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA)
- If your nationality is not on the eligible lists, the portal says a visa needs a guarantor in Bahrain, such as your airline, your hotel, a Bahrain travel agent or a company
- The organiser, Informa Markets, offers visa assistance for Jewellery Arabia participants through its customer service team
Documents to carry
- Your passport and, if you need one, your approved visa; the portal notes that a visa does not guarantee entry and you must meet the conditions on arrival
- Your Jewellery Arabia registration, though the organiser says ID is not required to enter the show
- Your hotel booking and return ticket
Bahrain's entry rules depend on your nationality and can change, so confirm the current requirements on the official eVisa portal evisa.gov.bh, with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) or your nearest Bahrain embassy before you book.
