The second edition of the Souq Waqif "Nuts and Dried Fruits Exhibition” opened recently, with the participation of more than 40 companies representing eight Asian countries.
The exhibition offers a wide variety of high-quality nuts and dried fruits.
Held in the eastern square of Souq Waqif, the exhibition will run until March 1 and is open daily from 7.30pm until midnight.
He added that the organising committee was keen to provide a unique shopping experience that caters to visitors of all ages.
Al-Suwaidi noted that the exhibition will be followed by the "Eid Sweets Exhibition”, which will run for 10 days and will feature a wide selection of sweets, nuts and savoury snacks associated with Eid al-Fitr hospitality traditions, enhancing the heritage experience, and offering visitors a complete seasonal experience.
He noted that the Ramadan activities at Souq Waqif include a daily truffle auction in the eastern square, as well as the Ramadan cannon event, which includes the distribution of iftar meals and gifts for children, creating a special Ramadan atmosphere for families.
The official also said that the Souq Al-Wakra Old Market will host similar events, including the daily Ramadan cannon, the distribution of iftar meals and gifts, a Ramadan shopping fair on the waterfront, and fireworks displays for four days starting from the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
