Dragon City, Bahrain’s flagship wholesale and retail shopping destination located in Diyar Al Muharraq, will be celebrating Eid Al Fitr by holding both traditional activities and fun filled events that will keep the young ones and families entertained.

Dragon City also announced that it will change its working hours from the first to the fourth day of the Eid holidays to permit shops to remain open from 10 am to 1 am to meet the engulfing demands of the celebratory occasion.

At the Mall Centre, a kids’ area will be setup for the children to participate in recreations that range from ceramic painting to paper crafts along with a specially designed zone in which visitors can play board games such as Backgammon and Carrom and preserve these special moments for years to come in a traditional house photo wall where they can take pictures. In line with the cultural significance of the festive occasion, Dragon City will also host an iconic representation of Eid Al Fitr, embodied with the presence of a man dressed in traditional attire with a falcon on his arm. Professionals will also be on hand to showcase their Arabic Calligraphy skills using special papers with Dragon City’s logo, as well as Henna artists to delight the ladies.

In the mini centers that run along the central area of Dragon Mall, several tents that have been enveloped in traditional decorations will be erected to hold live displays of textile and basket weaving with professionals moulding beautifully crafted pieces to captivate spectators with the many intricacies involved in the delicate art. Some of these tents will also house traditional Chinese activities such as the art of Chinese tea-making, with people provided samples of the exquisite taste, and Chinese Calligraphy, wherein those interested can have their names written in the ancient language and be provided with those timeless memorabilia.

Speaking on this occasion, Patrick Zheng Shuo, general manager of Chinamex Bahrain Management Company, the operating company of Dragon City, said: “Dragon City is a unique destination that houses the best in wholesale and retail of both worlds, the Middle Eastern and the Oriental culture, and what better way to manifest this passionate fusion during this culturally important festival than to embrace it and be a part of it! And with the many pursuits and spectator events that we have lined up during the first three days of the Eid Al Fitr holidays, we hope to have fulfilled this aspect of that vision.”

“It brings me immense happiness to be able to provide such self-indulgingly satisfying opportunities to our customers, visitors and well-wishers alike and welcome everyone to our latest offering. We look forward to days of fun that will resonate the celebratory spirit of Eid Al Fitr throughout the dimensions of Dragon City, thereby adding to the allure of its wholesome shopping experience, and hope to generate plenty of smiles to brighten up the occasion. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to Bahrain’s leadership and to its people as well and hope they have a fantastic time during the holidays,” he added.

In addition, Dragon City plans to resume Monday Wholesale Offers and Orders for businessmen and retailers. And in line with their aim of catering to both businessmen as well as customers, Dragon City intends to showcase a Chinese folk art exhibition as well during the month of July. - TradeArabia News Service
