The arch tent — also known as the arcum tent, curve tent, arch-roof marquee, arched marquee or arcum marquee — represents the most elegant fusion of contemporary tensile architecture and classical Arabic design principles available anywhere in the United Arab Emirates. With its sweeping continuous arch profile, uninterrupted clear-span interior, and graceful curved silhouette that catches every angle of sunlight, the arch tent has rapidly become the preferred wedding, exhibition and product-launch structure for the UAE's most ambitious event planners and brands.
At Mahraj Industries — the UAE's leading arch tent manufacturer, supplier, rental company and installation contractor serving Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain since 1998 — we deliver the largest stocked arch-tent inventory in the country, supported by in-house European-grade aluminium fabrication, ISO-certified PVC welding lines, an engineering team trained at Stuttgart and Milan, and a logistics fleet that reaches every project site in the UAE within 24 hours. Whether your project demands a 10 m × 15 m arch tent for an intimate beach wedding in Fujairah, a 30 m × 90 m arcum tent for a Formula 1 hospitality village at Yas Marina, or a 40 m × 200 m permanent arch warehouse in Jebel Ali, Mahraj Industries delivers concept-to-completion turnkey execution, full Civil Defence and municipality permitting, in-house manufacturing and 24/7 on-site support — every contract, every emirate, every time.
An arch tent is a clear-span tensile structure characterised by a continuous curved arch roof that springs directly from the side walls and rises smoothly to a central apex without any intermediate ridge, gable or hip. Unlike the conventional A-frame tent (which uses a straight pitched roof) or the pagoda tent (which uses a pyramid-shaped roof), the arch tent flows in one continuous geometric curve from eaves to eaves, creating a silhouette that simultaneously echoes the traditional Arabic horseshoe arch, the Romanesque barrel vault and the contemporary aerodynamic aviation hangar.
The internal volume of an arch tent is significantly greater than that of an equivalent A-frame structure — typically 18 % to 24 % more usable interior — because the curved roof eliminates the wasted dead-space corners of a triangular roof and instead lifts the headroom evenly across the entire floor plan. The acoustic performance is also superior: the curved roof diffuses sound waves smoothly, reducing slap-back echo and producing a venue acoustic comparable to a concert-grade hall. For UAE event planners and exhibition designers, this combination of more usable volume, better acoustics, classical aesthetic resonance and contemporary engineering has made the arch tent the fastest-growing premium tent category in the region.
The standard arcum tent uses a single continuous curve from eaves to eaves, creating the classic arch profile that has become synonymous with premium events across the UAE. Standard arcum tents are the workhorse of the Mahraj inventory and serve every market from weddings and brand launches to exhibitions and government ceremonies.
The double-curve arch tent introduces a subtle second curve at the eaves, creating a more pronounced classical silhouette reminiscent of Ottoman dome architecture. Particularly popular for royal weddings, ambassadorial receptions, mosque-related events and heritage-themed banquets, the double-curve arch is also the preferred profile for hotel-grade permanent installations on Palm Jumeirah, Saadiyat Island, Al Marjan Island and Yas Bay.
The high-peak arch tent increases the apex height by approximately 25 % above the standard arcum, creating cathedral-scale interior volume ideal for large-scale gala dinners, fashion runways with elevated catwalks, automotive showcases with overhead crane requirements and immersive 360-degree projection events.
The open-side arch tent removes one or more side walls to create a panoramic outdoor-indoor venue with uninterrupted views to beach, desert, marina or skyline. Open-side arch tents are the preferred structure for beach weddings on the Palm, sunset corporate functions overlooking the Burj Khalifa, mountain weddings on Jebel Jais, dune-camp dinners in Liwa and waterfront brand activations on the Corniche.
The industrial arch tent uses the same aluminium-and-PVC engineering as our event-grade arch tents but is specified for permanent multi-year deployment as warehousing, storage, light manufacturing or industrial mobilisation. Mahraj industrial arch tents are stationed across Jebel Ali, KEZAD, Mussafah, Hamriyah Free Zone, Ras Al Khor, Al Quoz and Fujairah Port as primary warehousing for hundreds of UAE businesses.
The curved-glass-end arch tent uses panoramic curved glass panels at the front and rear gable walls, creating a venue that retains the classical arch silhouette while delivering full panoramic transparency. The preferred choice for luxury automotive launches, watch brand reveals, jewellery exhibitions and waterfront fine-dining pop-ups.
ARC-10: 10 m span, 4 m side height, 5.8 m apex, 3 m/5 m bay, 80–120 guests. Suitable for intimate weddings, beach pop-ups.
ARC-15: 15 m span, 4 m side height, 6.8 m apex, 3 m/5 m bay, 150–250 guests. Suitable for corporate galas, Ramadan tents.
ARC-20: 20 m span, 4 m/5 m side height, 7.8 m apex, 5 m bay, 300–450 guests. Suitable for brand launches, mid-size weddings.
ARC-25: 25 m span, 5 m side height, 8.8 m apex, 5 m bay, 500–650 guests. Suitable for auto shows, fashion runways.
ARC-30: 30 m span, 5 m/6 m side height, 10.0 m apex, 5 m bay, 700–950 guests. Suitable for F1 hospitality, large weddings.
ARC-40: 40 m span, 6 m side height, 11.6 m apex, 5 m bay, 1,200–1,500 guests. Suitable for trade exhibitions, sports arenas.
ARC-50: 50 m span, 6 m side height, 13.5 m apex, 5 m bay, 1,800–2,400 guests. Suitable for mega-weddings, gov ceremonies, warehouses.
For specialised UAE projects we additionally manufacture arch-tent variants including the arch double-decker (two-storey arch tent), the arch glass-cube hybrid, the cantilever arch with one side completely open, the arch tunnel for stadium concourse extensions, and the arch atrium for hotel-courtyard infill installations. Custom bespoke arch designs are delivered in 21–28 days from our Sharjah and Ras Al Khor manufacturing facilities.
The arch is the single most recognisable architectural motif in Arabic, Islamic and Andalusian heritage — from the horseshoe arches of the Alhambra to the keel arches of Cairo's Mamluk mosques and the pointed arches of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. An arch tent therefore reads instantly as culturally appropriate, dignified and timeless — the perfect aesthetic for royal weddings, ambassadorial receptions, government ceremonies, mosque-related events and any UAE function that prizes heritage authenticity alongside contemporary engineering.
The curved roof of an arch tent delivers approximately 18 % to 24 % more usable interior volume than an equivalent A-frame tent because the curve lifts headroom evenly across the entire floor plan rather than wasting space in triangular roof corners. For UAE event planners this means more standing-room near the side walls, more flexibility for buffet stations, photo booths and check-in counters, and a much more comfortable guest experience.
The curved roof of an arch tent diffuses sound waves smoothly across the structure, reducing the slap-back echo that plagues flat-ceilinged rectangular tents. For weddings with live music, corporate AGMs with sustained speech presentations, fashion shows with DJ-driven runways and exhibitions with audio-visual installations, the acoustic improvement is immediately noticeable.
The smooth continuous curve of the arch roof is inherently more aerodynamic than a pitched roof, deflecting UAE shamal winds rather than catching them. In independent wind-tunnel testing, an arch tent shows approximately 31 % lower wind drag than an equivalent A-frame tent at the same height — a critical safety advantage in the high-wind exposure of UAE coastal locations, rooftop installations and open desert projects.
Mahraj arch tents are not generic imports — they are re-engineered for Gulf conditions. We specify extra-thick UV-stabilised 1000-gsm PVC membrane with titanium-dioxide reflective top-coat (reduces internal temperature by up to 8 °C), marine-grade aluminium frames for coastal exposure (Palm Jumeirah, Saadiyat, Al Marjan, Fujairah), and reinforced ballast plates for sandy or rocky desert ground where pegs cannot be driven.
A 20 × 30 m arch tent is fully erected, lined, air-conditioned and rigged in under 48 hours by our trained crew. For urgent royal, government or corporate requirements we offer 24-hour express installation in every emirate. Civil Defence and municipality permits are handled in-house by our approved-vendor permit team — typical approvals are issued within 3–5 working days.
The arch tent has rapidly overtaken the rectangular tent as the structure of choice for premium UAE weddings. Its classical silhouette evokes the dignity of Arabic architectural heritage while the column-free interior delivers absolute flexibility for floral installations, mirror-polish stages, LED chandeliers, ice sculptures, dance floors, bridal entrance pathways and multi-zone F&B layouts. From Emirati, Saudi, Qatari, Kuwaiti, Bahraini, Indian, Pakistani, Lebanese, Egyptian, Filipino and Russian wedding traditions, Mahraj arch tents deliver the venue-of-choice across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all Emirates.
For UAE landmark events including Expo City Dubai, GITEX Global, Arab Health, GULFOOD, Dubai Airshow, ADIPEC, IDEX, NAVDEX, Big 5 Construct, Index Design, World Government Summit, Dubai Boat Show and AIM Investment Meeting, organisers regularly extend permanent halls with Mahraj arch tents to deliver additional thousands of square metres of premium exhibition space. The clear-span interior accommodates the largest exhibits including aircraft, oil-rig modules, supercars, marine vessels and full-scale construction equipment.
Mahraj arch tents have hosted launches for Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, Audi RS, Lexus, Genesis, Lucid Motors, NIO, BYD, Polestar, Rimac and Pininfarina across Yas Marina Circuit, Dubai Autodrome, Dubai Design District, Al Quoz, Ras Al Khor, Sheikh Zayed Road showroom forecourts and Sharjah's automotive district.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Mahraj arch tents are the preferred dining-pavilion structure for hotels including Burj Al Arab, Atlantis The Palm, Atlantis The Royal, Emirates Palace, The Ritz-Carlton, Address Hotels + Resorts, Jumeirah Group, Four Seasons, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Bvlgari Resort, Park Hyatt, St. Regis, W Hotels, Anantara, Conrad, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, Le Meridien, Sofitel, Pullman and Rotana. Our Ramadan arch tents are fitted with traditional Arabic majlis carpeting, ornate ceiling drapery, hand-loomed runners, Moroccan brass lighting, customised mashrabiya screens and chilled-air HVAC.
Mahraj Industries holds approved-vendor status with multiple federal ministries and emirate-level government entities. Our arch tents have served as the centrepiece pavilion for UAE National Day, Flag Day, Martyrs' Day, Year of the Family, COP series climate summits, Eid Al Etihad, AIM Investment Meeting, World Government Summit and the Founder's Memorial events.
The aerodynamic curved roof of the arch tent makes it the structure of choice for permanent industrial deployment in UAE. Mahraj industrial arch tents serve as warehouse extensions in Jebel Ali, KEZAD and Hamriyah Free Zone, oil-field mess halls in the Empty Quarter for ADNOC and Dragon Oil, drilling-rig accommodation camps, construction-site canteens at Etihad Rail and Hyperloop sites, storage hangars for shipping, aviation and logistics, and light-manufacturing premises throughout Mussafah, Ras Al Khor and Al Quoz.
Mahraj arch tents are the preferred hospitality structure for the UAE's premier sporting events including Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Dubai World Cup horse racing, Dubai Tennis Championships, Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship golf, DP World Tour Championship golf, Dubai Desert Classic, Spartan Race, IRONMAN 70.3, Dubai Marathon, Dubai Rugby Sevens, Mubadala World Tennis Championship, Dubai International Sevens Boats and the UAE Tour cycling race.
Arch tents are the gold standard for VIP enclosures, backstage hospitality, broadcast studios and FOH compounds at concerts across Coca-Cola Arena, Etihad Arena, Etihad Park, du Arena, Madinat Jumeirah Arena, Expo City Dubai and the seasonal beachfront festival sites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah's Al Marjan Island.
From Hajj-season hospitality, mosque iftar tents, Mawlid gatherings, Diwali festivities, Onam Sadhya banquets, Christmas markets, Russian Easter celebrations, Filipino fiesta gatherings and Sikh community Nagar Kirtans, Mahraj arch tents serve the UAE's vibrant multicultural calendar year-round.
Every Mahraj arch tent uses 6082-T6 aerospace-grade extruded aluminium sourced exclusively from approved European mills. Curved roof rafters are CNC-machined from 300 × 100 × 4 mm box-section profile in larger spans and 200 × 100 × 3.5 mm in medium spans. All fasteners are 304 stainless steel grade 8.8, ensuring zero corrosion in UAE coastal, marina or beachfront installations.
Our roof and wall membranes are 1000-gsm Heytex, Mehler or Serge Ferrari PVC-coated polyester — the identical fabric families used on Olympic stadia and FIFA World Cup venues. Standard finish is brilliant white, optional finishes include sand-beige (UAE heritage palette), translucent diffusing (for solar-glow daylight effect), full blackout (for product launches and projection mapping), and full digital-printed (for branded events with custom artwork).
Arch tent flooring options include industrial-grade marine plywood, vinyl-laminated luxury flooring, raised cassette floor with under-floor cable management, anti-slip outdoor decking, red-carpet runway finishes and modular dance floors. Anchoring is by 1.2 m forged-steel pegs where permitted, 350 kg water/concrete ballast plates on municipal hardstanding, or sand-screw anchors for desert installations.
Every arch tent ships with integrated HVAC ducting collars, lighting truss-flange points (rated 1,000 kg suspended load per point), AV cable raceways inside the box-truss profile and discrete electrical sockets at every base plate. Clean, professional installation with no cables on the floor.
