Women’s Health Festival in Dubai // The GCC Menopause Hub Launches All About Her in January 2027

Women’s health is too often split into separate conversations, with periods in one place, fertility in another and menopause somewhere much later. A new festival coming to Dubai in the new year brings them all together. The GCC Menopause Hub has announced All About Her Festival, which takes place at Mohammed Bin Rashid Library on Thursday 21 January 2027.

The festival builds on three successful GCC Menopause Summits in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and widens the focus to women’s health at every stage of life. Topics include hormonal health, fertility, nutrition, mental wellbeing, menopause, healthy ageing and longevity. “Women’s health is a continuous journey, so expanding the conversation was a natural step,” says co-founder Sharon James.

It’s an important conversation. Research from the World Economic Forum and the McKinsey Health Institute found that women spend 25 per cent more of their lives in poor health than men.

What to expect

The main stage will feature keynotes and TED-style talks from leading healthcare professionals, alongside women sharing their own experiences. Elsewhere, there’s plenty to explore:

• Brand Discovery Zone: the latest women’s health products, services and innovations

• Nutrition Kitchen: demonstrations and practical advice on nutrition and gut health

• Confidence Studio: skin, hair, beauty and self-care

• Wellness, Fitness and Recovery Garden: strength sessions, yoga, relaxation and recovery

• Garden Souq: health, wellness and lifestyle products to buy, with views over Dubai Creek

Mediclinic is the headline sponsor, and the festival will combine expert advice with workshops, fitness sessions and product demonstrations. Like the summits before it, it promises a supportive, community feel where women can ask questions openly.
