The 33rd edition of the Autumn Fair, Bahrain’s largest shopping event, is set to welcome exhibitors and newcomers including retailers from many countries when it runs from December 22 – 30 at the new Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir.

The nine-day shopping and free-entry wonderland features over 650 stalls from 16 countries and welcomes more than 165,000 shoppers, reported Bahrain News Agency.

The modern facility boasts contemporary halls, widened shopping aisles and a variety of food and beverage options.

In order to fast-track free entry for all nine days, visitors over 15 years old at the Autumn Fair 2022 will be required to register their attendance online. Registration is not required for children below 15 years old.

"Exhibition space is close to being fully booked, with final plans well underway to deliver the most comprehensive value-added edition in 33 years," Mohammed Ebrahim, Exhibition Director at Informa Markets, said.

"Every passing year has been an evolutionary milestone for Autumn Fair, and 2022 will be no different, with the new exhibition centre being a prime example of how we’re constantly looking to innovate and offer an enhanced experience to our visitors."
