“This is set to be the biggest edition yet, with four halls being added for more space and opportunities than ever before,” said the event’s organisers.
“Perfectly timed for Ramadan, it’s the ideal destination to discover authentic ingredients and specialty items for the season.
“There will also be a larger food and beverage experience and seating area with more than 10 diverse outlets in Hall Two.”
Adding to the diversity, the fair will introduce a new African pavilion, highlighting cultures and products from multiple African nations, as well as a new Turkish pavilion, further enriching the international shopping experience.
