What Middle East luxury consumers really want
While global macroeconomic headwinds are cooling demand for luxury in many markets, the Middle East is moving in the opposite direction – accelerating, evolving and redefining what luxury means on its own terms. Cities like Dubai and Riyadh are fast becoming style capitals, powered by a young, affluent population, ambitious national development programs like Saudi Vision 2030, and a surge in both local spending and inbound tourism. Add to that the region's growing investments in infrastructure, culture and creative industries, and the result is a potent mix of momentum and transformation. Industry forecasts reflect this excitement too, with the region's luxury sector expected to multiply in value by 2030. To thrive in this fast-moving market, luxury brands need to understand four key shifts: Youth-driven growth and the demographic dividend A significant segment of the Middle East's population is under 30, and their preferences are redefining the future of luxury fashion in the region. These younger consumers gravitate toward brands that successfully merge global style with cultural relevance. They value craftsmanship and storytelling, gravitating toward designs that honour heritage through fabric, silhouette and symbolism. In Saudi Arabia, another monumental transformation is women rapidly narrowing the economic gap, with their increasing purchasing power boosting demand for a diverse range of fashion products. These demographic nuances in the region are pushing luxury brands to rethink their approach, focusing less on conspicuous consumption and more on creating meaningful connections and experiences. Experiential and ultra-personalised retail Luxury in the Middle East is as much about experience as it is about exclusivity. Whether through private lounges, concierge-style service, or capsule collections designed for the region, brands are doubling down on personalisation. While e-commerce continues to expand, offline retail remains essential. As WARC's 'MENA's Anatomy of Effectiveness' notes, physical touchpoints can significantly enhance digital performance. The future is omnichannel – not just in logistics, but in storytelling, loyalty and brand-building. Even digitally native DTC brands are realising that to compete in this region, you have to show up offline too. The rise of regional designers and local identity Yes, renowned European luxury houses like Hermes, Chanel, LVMH remain popular in the region as status symbols. But consumers expect such international players to provide exclusive, region-specific merchandise, personalised VIP services and exclusive in-store events and experiences that match global standards but also reflect local tastes and sensibilities. Simultaneously, regional designers are gaining visibility by integrating traditional craftsmanship and sustainable practices, appealing especially to younger buyers eager to support homegrown talent. Regional fashion weeks and events are spotlighting homegrown talent, further cementing the region's influence on global luxury narratives. There is particularly more interest among younger Gen Z and millennial customers, who are unafraid and more open to experimenting with lesser-known brands, including local brands. If the storytelling and aesthetic resonate, brand loyalty follows – regardless of how globally recognised the name is. My personal favourite trend: The transformative power of AI in luxury Just like many other sectors, AI is fundamentally reshaping the luxury fashion customer experience across the Middle East, contributing to making it more personalised, efficient and immersive than ever before. From virtual shopping lounges to real-time personalisation, AI is redefining how luxury feels – both online and in-store. It's enabling brands to emphasise craftsmanship and exclusivity through immersive experiences that go beyond the product. This hyper-personalisation is becoming the new standard in luxury, as discerning Middle Eastern shoppers increasingly expect brands to understand and anticipate their unique tastes and needs. Redefining the soul of luxury As I look at the shifting sands of the global luxury landscape, one thing is clear: the world's new benchmarks for exclusivity and customer experience are being set here in the region where heritage collides with innovation and tradition dances with modernity. But are luxury brands truly paying attention? Or are they still stuck in a Eurocentric echo chamber, missing the nuanced desires of a sophisticated, diverse audience that is rewriting the rules of what it means to be 'exclusive'? The future of luxury fashion, I believe, will belong to those who dare to look beyond the obvious. Those who understand that true luxury is not just about scarcity, but about meaningful, authentic relationships with an audience that demands more than just a product. Here's the real question: Are brands listening closely enough to the Middle East consumer? Do they really know what drives their preferences? Do they grasp how this audience views luxury-not just as a status symbol, but as a reflection of identity, culture and aspiration? And, perhaps most importantly, do they know where these consumers are shopping, both online and offline? Market insights, category trends and consumer behaviour data are not just boxes to tick, they are the lifeblood of any brand hoping to thrive in this new era. The brands that will win are those that invest the time to understand the subtle distinctions: the interplay of tradition and modernity, the hunger for innovation and the deep respect for heritage that defines the Middle East luxury consumer. So, I ask again: Are we ready to redefine luxury, not just for the region, but for the world? Or will we let this moment slip by, clinging to outdated notions while the future passes us by? The answer, I suspect, will determine not just who leads the market, but who truly understands the soul of luxury in the years to come. By Bipul Markan, Head of Research & Insights at Assembly MENA

Seven megatrends shaping Middle East travel, from gig tourism to AI
Forget sleep tourism, noctourism and ancestral trips – these are all trends or micro-trends that are popular right now, but don't have the staying power of megatrends. What's the difference? The former are often a bandwagon to jump on for a limited time, while megatrends are shaping the tourism industry and how we travel. A handful of megatrends are having an impact on traveller experiences in the Middle East, according to experts at Arabian Travel Market, which is taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre this week. They crop up in conversation time and time again, and range from the huge potential of the cruise sector to gig tourism and travellers' use of AI. Increasingly, travellers around the world are planning trips to coincide with major events. Think the 'Taylor Swift effect', where the US megastar's Eras Tour had a direct economic benefit on the cities where she performed. Known as 'gig tourism', it is particularly popular in the Middle East, where Coldplay, for example, brought international travellers to the UAE. 'It's not just about attending an event,' says Sebastien Doussin, senior vice president of global travel services and destination management at dnata Travel Group. 'It's about what surrounds it – the access, the cultural immersion, the sense of belonging to something larger.' This is why tour operators are creating one-off experiences for travellers flying into the UAE during these 'big-ticket events'. For example, Arabian Adventures has scheduled an exclusive desert evening with former Haas F1 Team principal Guenther Steiner during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend in December. With world-class venues such as Expo City Dubai, the Coca-Cola Arena, and facilities at Yas Island such as the Etihad Arena, the UAE is uniquely equipped to host major international audiences, Doussin tells The National. 'Beyond the venues themselves, the UAE offers an unmatched supporting ecosystem: seamless airport connectivity, premium accommodation at every scale, a vibrant culinary scene, cutting-edge transport and a highly service-oriented hospitality sector.' For the first time, technically speaking, seven generations can travel together, from the babies of Generation Beta to the ageing Silent Generation. This is giving rise to the trend of multi-generational travel worldwide, but particularly in the Middle East, where family values underpin everyday life. New luxury travel agency Jovial Travels, based in Dubai's JLT, says this has also generated a new trend called 'soft summering'. This movement is centred on slower rhythms and meaningful togetherness. Nearly half (45 per cent) of UAE residents prioritise family holidays focused on quality time and relaxation, while 58 per cent of millennial and Gen Z parents plan to bring extended family on holiday in 2025, and 89 per cent cite 'quality time' as their top motivation, according to Vinoli Obeysekara, head of sales at Jovial Travels. 'We're witnessing a real appetite for travel that feels restorative, not rushed.' While we have long been able to take cruises in this region, this is only going to become more popular, particularly following the introduction of Aroya Cruises, the first Saudi Arabian cruise line. In the UAE, the cruise sector is projected to reach $16.17 million this year, and the Emirates is becoming a popular destination thanks to its luxe ports, vibrant culture and warm weather, according to Statista Market Insights. Middle East ports are expected to record 300,000 cruise visits in 2025, according to the ATM Travel Trends Report, and cruise capacity is rising to build regional connectivity. Leading Swiss-Italian cruise line MSC Cruises has long been committed to the region and is set to expand its offerings, according to global executive director Angelo Capurro. These include more attractive offers for Middle East residents, such as last-minute booking options, which the company has noted as a local preference. Saudi Arabia is arguably having the biggest impact on regional tourism, as it continues to break all records in the sector, with 30 million international arrivals last year. By 2030, the country aims to reach 70 million visitors, making it one of the top seven most-visited nations worldwide, according to the kingdom's Ministry of Tourism. A huge proportion of this comes from religious tourism, as more pilgrims than ever head to Makkah for Umrah and Hajj, but Saudi Arabia is also benefitting from increased connectivity and tapping into younger, wealthier travellers who are seeking new and authentic experiences, according to the ATM Travel Trends Report. Speaking of authentic experiences, one of the biggest talking points of ATM this year is the trend of 'experiential travel' and 'authenticity'. While these can be seen as buzzwords, their essence is really important, says Paul Mulcahy, chief commercial officer of Mauritius hotel management company The Lux Collective. The brand perhaps epitomises this trend, and has two properties scheduled to open within the next few years in Sharjah. 'We genuinely try to bring the culture into the hotel,' Mulcahy explains. 'We put a lot of thought into making sure that when a visitor comes, they know where they are and they get a chance to really experience the location.' The company does this by incorporating local ingredients and cuisine, collaborating with nearby communities on architecture, artworks or experiences, and respecting the environment where each hotels is located. The Middle East is a travel destination that appeals to wealthier, younger audiences and those interested in adventure tourism and niche activities, according to the travel trends report. Authenticity is key, says Dave Goodger, from Oxford Tourism Economics, which worked with ATM on the report. A group of experts broke down the trend further at a panel discussion called The Power to Empower: Cultural Connectivity and Inclusion on day two of the ATM event. Deborah Thomson, cluster general manager of JA Hatta Fort Hotel and Terra Cabins, gave the example of an on-site coffee shop, based on a Hatta businessman's concept, which has become a popular local hangout. 'Hatta is quite a small place, with a population of 7,000, so it's important that we make the community feel part of our resort,' she said. Another example came from Blacklane, a global premium chauffeur service, which incorporates cultural elements into the car journey. In Saudi Arabia, this includes traditional fragrances, dates and coffee – things that connect travellers to the local environment. Again, this is a global trend, but one that has really taken hold in the region. Wellness tourism is set to jump from $830.2 billion in 2023 to over $1.3 trillion in 2028, according to the Global Wellness Institute. The Middle East and North Africa has been cited as one of the fastest-growing regions for this trend. 'We call it passport to immortality,' said Fouad Talaat, regional manager for at another panel discussion at ATM. 'This is customers wanting to travel and experience longevity wellness resorts that offer cutting-edge technology like red light, cryotherapy and more to seek benefits beyond immediate relaxation. They want long-term benefits.' This is another trend The Lux Collective has tapped into. It is introducing wellness programmes that include a follow-up when you get home. 'The idea is, you come and you'll do something that you take away with you,' says Mulcahy. 'We've all been there -you try to be good for a period of time and then let it all go. We're trying to make it last that bit longer, make it a bit more sincere.' We couldn't talk trends without touching on AI. New technology is being embraced across the region's travel industry, not just by hotels or tour operators, but by travellers themselves. 'Would-be travellers to the Middle East are twice as likely as other travellers to use AI chatbots,' says Goodger. Around 60 per cent of those interested in visiting the Middle East have used AI at least once before for their travel planning, while 60 per cent of travellers from the UAE trusted AI to plan every aspect of their trip compared to 48 per cent of tourists elsewhere. 'The algorithm is the planner,' said Aleix Rodriguez Brunsoms, director of strategy at Skift Advisory, in a talk about trends shaping the region. 'Social feeds and AI are inspiring and booking travellers' next trips. They're no longer just sources of inspiration, but trip planning and booking platforms.' Eighty per cent of travellers consult social media before making a travel decision, and 60 per cent are comfortable booking directly via social media, according to Skift. 'Gen Z and millennials are using this before Google, and influencers have gone from passive content creators to active travel sellers,' said Brunsoms. 'Destination marketing in the region is not about flashy campaigns, but building thousands of micro moments that are then emphasised by AI and distributed by influencers.'
