'Shop Bahrain' Festival in December
The biggest nationwide shopping festival will kick off next month in Bahrain.
The second edition of Bahrain Shopping Festival, 'Shop Bahrain' will be running from December 24 to January 23.
The 30-day celebration of Bahrain's heritage, hospitality and tourism is aimed at stimulating the national economy and attracting tourists from neighbouring countries.
Tamkeen Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Shaikh Mohammed bin Isa Al Khalifa said the first shopping festival was a big success. "Based on the success of the inaugural shopping festival, the organising committee of the festival has been working hand-in-hand with the partners from the public and private sector in order to ensure the success of this year's festival," he said.
"Last year, over 2,000 retailers took part in the festival and we witnessed BD18 million worth of shopping during the six-week festival with a surge in tourists from across the Gulf region. This year the lineup is bigger and better."
Shop Bahrain will mirror the Kingdom's position as a welcoming accessible, family destination with an incredibly diverse range of retail experiences from luxury malls to traditional souks to luxury boutiques coupled with unbeatable bargains and promotions.
Shop Bahrain Director Nawaf Al Kooheji said this year the aim was to create an unforgettable experience for shoppers in Bahrain and across the region. "We have also developed a unique raffle mechanism that truly rewards the shopper," said Al Kooheji.
The festival will feature a variety of programmes including VIVA Shop & Skate, The Family Fair, 'The Nest' and many more.
Registration for Shop Bahrain runs until November 22.
