Over 770 exhibitors from 28 countries will showcase their products during Bahrain’s most visited exhibition the Autumn Fair which opens later this month.
The Autumn Fair, Bahrain’s largest and most popular consumer products exhibition, is returning to the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre from January 26 to February 03.
Packed with over 770 exhibitors from 28 countries, this 16,000 square metre shopping extravaganza showcases thousands of products from across the globe. A dazzling variety of goods will go on sale during this 9 day period, ranging from specialty food, fashion and furniture; to technology, toys, textiles and much more.
“The Autumn Fair is a popular annual event with a unique atmosphere. Now in its 22nd successful year, the whole of the exhibition centre is transformed into a colourful bazaar by traders who have travelled from far and wide to Bahrain, bringing with them their country’s best exports and a slice of their culture. The largest international groups assemble to form country pavilions and include countries such as China, Egypt, India, Kuwait, Turkey, Syria, UAE and Pakistan,” said Arabian Exhibition Management’s project manager Mohammed Ebrahim.
“With so many exhibitors, prices at the Autumn Fair can be competitive. There are potential bargains on new to market products and a host of regular visitor favourites. There is also a strong business to business element. The Autumn Fair acts as an important sourcing venue for local companies, and wholesale agreements and new partnerships will be established during the course of the exhibition. Numerous local businesses also regularly take part in the exhibition and many offer special deals for visitors,” he added.
Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Autumn Fair will open daily to the public from 10 am to 1 pm and 4 pm to 10 pm on 27, 29, 30 and 31 January and 1, 2 and 3 February.
