Universal Presence & Impact

Direct Access have a strong, established presence in the United Arab Emirates with our Head Office based in Dubai, though we have delivered our services to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and everywhere in between. 

Our team is often invited to present at conferences, which have included the SEA Expo and Summit, FM Expo, Accessible Tourism Summit, and Urban Landscapes and Playgrounds Abu Dhabi.

Our expansion of projects is a result of only one thing; our team, and the core value that our lived experiences as disabled people inform the detail, effectiveness, and quality of our accessibility consultancy. People make the world go around. The same can be said for the world of Direct Access.
