Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce All Irish exporters to the Arab markets are clients of our Chamber and they rely on our unique services to underpin their business in the region.

Helping Irish businesses and individuals with export documents, personal documents, educational certificates, legalisation and trade connections across the Arab world. The Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1987 to promote and support the growth and development of trade and commercial relations between Ireland and the Arab countries. The Chamber was established under the auspices of the General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture which is part of the Arab League and which has its headquarters in Beirut. We fulfil our mission through the delivery of a range of unique services to Irish exporting companies and through the provision of information, advice, introductions, connections and business leads to companies in Ireland and in the Arab markets. The Arab markets collectively are the most important trading block for indigenous Irish exporters outside of Europe and North America, and their significance grows year by year. They are attractive markets for Irish exporters for various reasons: they import many of the products and services which Irish companies can supply competitively; they have considerable resources to fund their imports; their rising population causes demand to grow year after year - and they are not far away. Key among these services are the provision of our AICC Certificates of Origin as required by the Arab countries; the Certification and Legalisation of all types of commercial documents; the delivery of a technical translation service to and from Arabic, and assistance with visas where required. Our Chamber also organises various events throughout the year to welcome visiting delegations, to deliver important information, to mark special occasions and to facilitate networking and interaction between our members and clients. You are invited to explore our website for further details about our services and activities. And please make contact with us if we can be of service to you in any way.

🇮🇪🤝🇴🇲 Irish exports to Oman are on the rise.

Irish goods exports to Oman increased by 18.1% during the first half of 2026, reaching €27.1 million between January and June.

That compares with €23 million during the same period last year.

The growth comes as Oman’s wider export economy also recorded strong momentum, with total goods exports increasing by 15.3% in the first half of 2026.

While the figures measure different aspects of trade, they highlight the continued growth and opportunity within the market.

As Irish businesses look to diversify and explore opportunities across the Arab region, Oman is an important market to watch. 👀

🇮🇪🌍 Irish exports are finding new opportunities across the Arab region

While the trading environment remains challenging, the latest figures show that demand for Irish goods remains strong across a number of key markets.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: Exports up 22.2% to €609.7m
🇪🇬 Egypt: Exports up 25.9% to €149.3m
🇯🇴 Jordan: Exports up 41.7% to €58.6m
🇰🇼 Kuwait: Exports up 8.4% to €57.5m

At the same time, the UAE remains Ireland’s second-largest export market in the region, highlighting the continued importance of the Arab world to Irish trade.

For Irish businesses, the opportunity is there but so is the need to understand the individual markets, manage risk and adapt to changing trading conditions.

As AICC CEO Ahmad Younis says: “The Arab world is still open for business.”
