Maldives to Host Cultural Showcase “Maldivian Evening 2025” in Dubai

The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) is bringing the essence of the islands to Dubai with a special event titled “Maldivian Evening 2025”, scheduled to take place on April 28 at the Theatre of Digital Art (TODA).

Held on the sidelines of Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025, the evening aims to deepen engagement with the Middle East travel market while celebrating the cultural richness of the Maldives. Guests can expect an immersive experience blending tradition, storytelling, and modern hospitality — all curated to spark inspiration and strengthen international tourism ties.

A Celebration of Culture, Art, and Connection

The event will feature live Maldivian music and traditional dance performances, giving guests a window into the island nation’s vibrant heritage. Culinary highlights include authentic Maldivian cuisine, specially crafted to offer a taste of local flavors, prepared by chefs flown in from the Maldives.

Beyond entertainment, the Maldivian Evening will serve as a strategic platform for tourism networking, bringing together travel trade professionals, media, and key decision-makers from across the Gulf region. With a growing interest from Middle Eastern travelers, the event reinforces MMPRC’s goal to position the Maldives as a preferred year-round destination for leisure, culture, and luxury travel.

Strengthening Tourism Bonds

Speaking ahead of the event, MMPRC’s CEO & MD Ibrahim Shiuree emphasized its importance:
“Maldivian Evening 2025 allows us to not only share our culture but to also connect meaningfully with partners who play a vital role in sending travelers to our shores. Events like this reflect our ongoing commitment to building long-lasting relationships with the travel trade across key global markets.”

The event complements MMPRC’s broader strategy at ATM Dubai, where the Maldives is participating with a strong delegation representing resorts, guesthouses, tour operators, and destination management companies.

Looking Ahead

As the Maldives continues to expand its global outreach, events like Maldivian Evening 2025 highlight the importance of cultural diplomacy in tourism promotion. From ancient drumming rhythms to reef-inspired recipes, the night will be a reminder of why the Maldives is more than a beach destination — it’s a living story waiting to be shared.
