Gourmet Tasting of Baqlawa and Dried Fruits
The Syrian Pavilion at Global Village, the region’s leading
Cultural, Shopping and Entertainment family outdoor destination, receives its
visitors with the typically warm welcome of the Syrians as they keep offering
visitors their homegrown delicacies. The pavilion is designed in the
foyer-style entrance with a water fountain to give the feel of the old homes of
Damascus. Meanwhile, shops surround the foyer to sell their goods like in the
well known Hamidia Bazaar in Damascus.
Syrian Furniture
Syria is famous for its walnut wood and shell works. From Fatimi style
wood engraving to the gold leaves adaption of Andalucía. Antique or modern
replicas, Sahara Eastern Works showcase the best of Syrian craftsmanship. One
of the antique Arabic cupboards is 89 years old as the shell engraved date goes
back to 1350 Hijri. The exhibitor assured that antique pieces attract both
Arabs and non-Arab clients. Exhibiting for the fifth year at Global Village,
many of the antique pieces have been sold over the years and for this season
the smaller cupboard was sold to a client from Kuwait.
Damascus Delicacies
Exhibitors of Syrian Baqlawa, dried fruits and nuts with honey offer a
wide range of homemade delicacies. Tasting is a mandate before buyers can make
up their minds, says one exhibitor and it is part of the Syrian hospitality.
Syrian Cotton Wear
Famous for its cotton pajamas and T-shirts, stretches and gowns, bath
robes and socks the collections come in printed whites and plain soft colors
this season and cover children, men and women.
Folklore Fashion
The latest of the Syrian ladies fashion are expressed in the ladies
Jilbab, and fashionable handmade pieces with copper coins, crochet works on the
sides and embroidery on voile cotton. The exhibitor of Royal Hawdage has been
exhibiting at Global Village since 2000, as his collections attract folk lovers
especially from Arab nationalities.
Copper Works
Large, party size copper platters for Biryani or rice dishes, coffee
holder, chandeliers, wall hung Arabic swords, paintings with copper color
Arabic calligraphy as well as handmade colored tea glasses, are all showcased
at the pavilion.
Syrian Table Covers
Embroidery on organza, silk or velvet, plain studded or with sequins,
the range sparks many home decoration ideas.
Ice Cream
Before leaving the pavilion, the famous Damascus Ice Cream is worth a
try. The beat-mix is purely made of mastic, fresh milk and cream and topped by
pistachio. Or maybe go for the Balila – which is boiled chick peas with lemon
dressing for a more winter-warm snack.
