The invention concerns a process for the conversion of ammonia (NH3) and COx, wherein x=1-2, to dimethyl ether (DME) wherein a feed comprising NH3 and COx, wherein x=1-2, is provided to a reactor to obtain a reaction product comprising DME, wherein the reactor comprises a catalyst for converting NH3 to nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2), a catalyst for converting H2 and COx, wherein x=1-2, to DME, and a sorbent material capable of adsorbing water. The invention furthermore concerns a composition a catalyst for converting NH3 to nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2), a catalyst for converting H2 and COx, wherein x=1-2, to DME, and a sorbent material capable of adsorbing water and the use of that composition in the conversion of ammonia (NH3) and COx, wherein x=1-2, to dimethyl ether (DME).
