Malawi is a country located in southeastern Africa, bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the north and east, and Mozambique to the south and southwest, and is considered one of the inland countries in the region. As it does not overlook the sea and is adjacent to Lake Malawi, which is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world and one of its most prominent features, it is a great lake famous for the beauty of its picturesque natural scenery and the diversity of its wildlife.

In addition, Malawi is considered one of the adventurous travel countries, where activities such as traditional boating, camping, fishing, and mountain climbing can be practiced in the mountains of Malawi. This makes it one of the countries that many people travel to from Dubai for enjoyment and trade.

Malawi's imports from Dubai cover a wide range of products, often including industrial equipment and machinery, chemicals, and electronic products. Trade between Dubai and Malawi is also improved through the large Dubai seaport, which is a vital hub for international shipping and trade.
