A catalytic process is provided for converting feedstock containing C2 to C8 aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatics by contacting said feedstocks, under conversion conditions, with a balanced acid/hydrogenation dual function catalyst comprising as the acid component a crystalline zeolite catalyst having a Constraint Index of about 1 to 12 and an alpha value no higher than about 100, and as the hydrogenation component a minor amount of an added metal constituent comprising at least 50 weight percent of a component consisting of zinc and a metal from Group IB of the Periodic Table, e.g. copper, thereby converting the feedstock to aromatics.
