Style your special ones with Global Village

Clothes are a natural first choice and at Global Village, you will find designs and cuts in various fabrics and colours to suit every taste. Saudi Arabia and Morocco are your favoured pavilions for in-fashion abayas and gowns ranging from the very simple to those with more elaborate embroidery. You’ll find accessories to match including scarves and shawls and everything from leisurewear to the more formal attire for that special loved one.

Food to suit the celebratory Eid mood

You can never go wrong with good food, especially high-end food worth gifting, this festive season.

Here are some perfect choices.

Impress your loved ones with Tea from China or sweeten the moment with pure honey in a thousand exotic flavours. From honeycomb to cinnamon and saffron, such a gift will always be treasured. Take your time choosing from the very attractive array of premium dates stuffed with irresistible and exotic fillings. Make your way to Yemen and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia pavilions and you are guaranteed to get the best deals.

There's more, from caramelised honey cakes and imaginative and mouth-watering confectionery that include the most incredible biscuits and crackers, both savoury and sweet with several new and delightful fillings. Drop in at the Yemen pavilion and enjoy the sheer range and variety of superbly packaged edible items.

The region is known for its dry fruits and nuts, and they are a staple offering during the Holy Month. Every Eid-al-Fitr sees the Afghanistan and Yemen pavilions overflowing with patrons looking for the best and getting it too.

Spice of life

The Middle East is also famous for its spices and the air at Yemen and Turkish pavilions is redolent with their fragrances. Threads of saffron, fresh spices, and herbs add that extra zing and colour to traditional dishes. Perfect for the celebratory season and an ideal way to pamper everyone at home. Give yourself and your loved ones a treat with rosemary, thyme, rosebuds, cumin, and cinnamon. For main courses, use dried herbs like parsley, sage, and curry leaves to make those dishes sing.

A perennial favourite is coffee in all its splendid forms. Produce the ideal brew after you select from a wide range of coffee beans available at the Yemen pavilion.

And if you are a Turkish Delight fan venture into the Turkey and Syria pavilions for the best choices of this delectable and much-loved sweet. Share it with others and spread a little happiness.

Regional riches

Get yourself some soothing pure oudh and bukhoor fragrances that add a certain flair to special moments.

Your best options for fragrances for men and women can be found at the UAE, Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Turkish pavilions.

And as you shop here is a tip. Presentation has a major role to play in giving the best impression to family and friends when you give a gift. So, spend a little time at the Egyptian pavilion checking out the various trays and platters that add that extra touch to your fare. Buy the latest kahwa set at the Turkey, Morocco and Egypt pavilions or go in for a crockery set with the latest patterns.
