The Northern Trade Fair, which will run daily until Thursday, is offering customers everything from food and clothing to jewellery and perfumes and from stationery and electronics to handicrafts and textiles.

It is being held under the patronage of Tamkeen chairman and Economic Development Board chief executive Shaikh Mohammed bin Essa Al Khalifa.

It was inaugurated by Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) head Dr Essam Fakhro and Northern Governor Jaffar bin Rajab.
