Dubai Customs Organises The Carpet And Art Oasis At Dubai World Trade Centre
Carpet Oasis and Art Oasis, the long - running event of the Dubai shopping Festival, will be inaugurated on Thursday, December, 27, 2012 at Dubai World Trade Centre, one week before the launch of Dubai Shopping Festival 2013, one of the best shopping experiences in the world.
This year, Carpet and Art Oasis will involve participation by up to 50 companies exhibiting exclusive pieces of their premium designed by renowned artistic weavers from around the world including Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and India.
The Oasis covering an area of 7.000sq m, will showcase over 170.000 handmade pieces at Dubai World Trade Centre – Za’abeel Hall (3) and will continue till January 14.
The exhibition of carpets, which started from the launch of DSF in 1996, has been a star attraction every year featuring great numbers of rich and rare hand-made carpets from around the world. The expo draws huge crowds with a penchant for fascinating hand-made works of art. The shifting of Carpet and Art Oasis this year to Dubai World Trade Centre will make it much more attractive as an international hub of hand-made carpets.
This long-running event reflects the importance that the exhibitors attach to their industry and reflects the strong partnership that exists between the government and private sectors.
Mr. Abdulrahman Isa, Head of the Carpet Oasis Organizing Committee, said that the Committee has completed all the arrangements for this year after conducting several meetings with the participating traders to ensure a great response from visitors and that it satisfies everyone’s interests and meets different skills levels by showcasing different types and trends in the carpet world.
Mr. Abdulrahman Isa expressed his thanks to Dubai Events and Promotion Establishment, – the DSF organizers for their continued support to the Carpet Oasis, for promoting the events locally, regionally and internationally and for making arrangements to welcome and host visiting foreign media representatives to DSF, a practice that was started several years ago during DSF.
