Dubai 2026 World Stamp Exhibition
The Emirates Philatelic Association hosted the Dubai 2026 World Stamp Exhibition from 4–8 February 2026, the first event of its kind in the Arab region and West Asia. The exhibition marked the Association’s 30th anniversary and the centenary of the International Federation of Philately (FIP), reinforcing the UAE’s position on the global calendar of specialized international exhibitions.
Bringing together representatives from 76 countries, the exhibition recorded outstanding international participation, creating meaningful opportunities for cultural exchange and professional dialogue, and underscoring its role in strengthening ties among philatelists and stamp collectors worldwide. The United Nations Postal Administration and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) also took part, with the UPU overseeing a dedicated competition for postal administrations. In addition, the exhibition featured thousands of rare and valuable stamps from around the world.
To document the occasion, Emirates Post, in collaboration with the Emirates Philatelic Association, issued a commemorative stamp collection celebrating the exhibition as a global platform that connects communities through philately, advances cultural exchange, and further positions the UAE as a leading destination for international and cultural events.
