The route centres on Fereej Al Asmakh's heritage houses, courtyards and public spaces. Arab Design Now is also listed at Building i22 in Msheireb. Mexico is this edition's guest country.

The official Arabic guide describes November 5 as a ceremony day for invited guests and VIPs, with public opening hours still to be confirmed. This distinction matters to visitors: the announced opening date does not guarantee unrestricted entry to every space on the first day.
