AECOM for UAE Ministry of Tourism

¬ Digital3dworks x AECOM for UAE Ministry of Tourism

We recently collaborated with AECOM on a suite of immersive CGI visuals for a government-led project in the UAE, highlighting the Ministry of Tourism’s newly envisioned exhibition, hospitality, and innovation spaces.

This series focuses on blending hospitality-grade interior design with sleek cultural storytelling, offering a modern visitor experience underpinned by spatial clarity and sensory comfort.

The Welcome Atrium

The central atrium captures a seamless flow between natural textures, sculptural lighting, and sinuous ceiling forms. Curated greenery softens the architectural lines, while integrated display areas hint at the space’s dual identity as both cultural hub and institutional landmark.

CGI focus: smooth material transitions, ceiling lighting rhythm, visual openness and wayfinding.

The Desert Café

A lifestyle-driven F&B zone fuses modern Middle Eastern aesthetics with an inviting, sunlit layout. Lush indoor planting, rattan-inspired textures, and terrazzo surfaces create a space that feels both elevated and rooted.

CGI focus: daylit ambiance, material mix, informal elegance.

The Exhibition Experience

Blending digital displays with tactile heritage, this gallery-style sequence invites interaction and pause. Integrated iPad stands and floating showcases offer subtle cues for educational storytelling, while downlighting enhances featured objects and textures.

CGI focus: object framing, clean contrast, museum-style display logic.

The Retail Zone

Designed as a concept-driven boutique, this area presents curated wares in a high-design environment. Floating white cabinetry contrasts with a darker ceiling grid, helping merchandise pop while drawing the eye across sightlines.

CGI focus: shelving design, object lighting hierarchy, user flow.

The Meeting Suite

Minimal and sculptural, the boardroom employs a sleek marble conference table as the centrepiece. Warm daylight, muted upholstery, and integrated A/V create a premium professional backdrop.

CGI focus: material quality, softness vs precision, executive tone.

Built to Inspire & Inform

These visuals reflect the Ministry of Tourism’s ambition to blend functionality with emotional engagement. Developed for multipurpose use—exhibitions, marketing decks, stakeholder presentations—they reinforce AECOM’s design clarity and forward-thinking narrative.

At Digital3dworks, we produce CGI that bridges design vision with strategic communication—clear, elegant, and built for purpose.
