Bawadi Mall, the largest shopping mall in Al Ain, is hosting the "Round the World in 60 Days" shopping program from June 8 to August 6, 2010.
Nine international troupes from UAE, Palestine, Syria, Greece, Spain, Brazil, Korea and other countries are bringing alive the festival with colourful entertainment programs.
Khalid Shraim, Marketing Manager, Bawadi Mall said: “Our primary aim in hosting such events is to enhance the presence of Al Ain as a tourism destination on the international map. We have seen a large number of visitors coming from Al Ain City and Abu Dhabi Emirate as well as UAE to enjoy this program that will last 60 days. We want to boost the retail industry in Al Ain by attracting as many visitors as possible from the UAE and neighbouring countries like Sultanate of Oman.”
Bawadi Mall gives top priority to offering visitors a unique experience. Its visitors include all nationalities and cultures. The organization team is working closely with the participating troupes to create quality entertainment and to cater to the needs of all cultures and tastes.
Each troupe reflects the culture of the country it comes from and it is participating at the event through dances that
mirror their national traditions. The mall succeeded last year in organizing a similar event.
New brands have made their debut in Al Ain city through Bawadi Mall, such as Zara, Mango, MAX, Marks & Spencer, Kotton, New look, H&M, ACE, Toys “R” US, Adidas, Guess, Nokia, BHS, Danube BUILDMART and Magrudy’s amongst others. The mall has attracted more than 380 retail outlets, including international names.
Bawadi Mall, developed by Nael & Bin Harmal Inv. Co. L.L.C., houses a mix of international as well as regional retail brands of fashion, food, jewellery and much more, all in a bright, spacious, and inviting environment, distinguished by a wide curved vaulted skylight that soars above the main corridor and its main three spacious courts.
Bawadi Mall offers round the year entertainment programs including the 10,000 sq. m. “Family Entertainment Center” featuring a varied mix of fun, ranging from the “Roller Coaster” to the “Fun Ski Village”, amongst many other attractions have contributed in attracting this big number of visitors to the mall. Not to mention the eight movie theatres including Grand Class Hall, a bowling alley, a distinctively rich food-court and several casual dining alternatives offering delicious varieties of cuisines
Shraim added: “Bawadi Mall has created a joyful experience between entertainment and shopping. This strategy is built on enhancing our partnership with international and local tenants present in the mall. This event in its second year is boosting the trade sector in Al Ain and promoting the city on the regional front”.
