The 2nd Desert Architecture MENA Forum successfully brought together architects, urban planners, developers, government representatives, and industry leaders from across the region to explore the future of sustainable and climate-responsive design in arid environments.

Over two days of insightful presentations, engaging panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities, participants exchanged ideas on resilient urban development, heritage preservation, sustainable landscapes, innovative building technologies, and emerging trends shaping the future of desert architecture. The forum served as an important platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and the advancement of best practices that support the region’s evolving built environment.

We extend our sincere thanks to our speakers, partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and delegates for their valuable contributions and for making this edition a great success. The discussions, connections, and partnerships established during the forum will continue to support innovation and sustainability across the architectural sector.

Building on this success, we are pleased to announce that the 3rd Desert Architecture MENA Forum will take place in March 2027 in Dubai, UAE, bringing together industry leaders once again to explore emerging trends, groundbreaking projects, and innovative solutions shaping the future of architecture in desert environments. We look forward to welcoming you to the next edition.
