MUSCAT: Even with eCommerce gaining popularity, nothing beats the experience of holding a product in your hand, and inspecting merchandise down to the minutest details before making a physical purchase. While online shopping promotes the need for speed by supporting swift delivery timelines, physical shopping invites you to slow down and use the shopping experience as a means of socialising with family & friends. Keeping this in mind, the Autumn Trade Fair (ATF) is set to be your gateway to a great shopping experience from December 29, 2017 to January 4, 2018 at the Oman International Exhibition Centre.
Organised by Oman International Trade & Exhibitions (OITE), ATF will take place from 10 am to 1 pm and 5 pm to 10 pm daily (Thursday timings will be from 10 am to 1 pm and 5 pm to 11 pm & Friday timing will be from 4 pm to 11 pm). This year, since ATF will take place towards the end of the year, it marks the perfect occasion for shoppers to make the most of the Holiday & New Year season by browsing through the exhibition space at the Fair housing more than 250 exhibitors from 10+ participating countries with products that will stop visitors in their tracks during this week-long shopping affair. As the duration of ATF coincides with the typical payday week in Oman, shoppers can also feel more confident about saving up for a massive shopping bonanza.
Now in its 23rd edition, ATF is Oman’s largest shopping extravaganza, and provides you the perfect opportunity to obtain desired local and international brands via the best-you-can-get-offers from product categories related to clothing, perfumes, accessories, leather products, toys, games, cosmetics and textiles.
With a vast variety of products, promotions and activities, it’s never too early to start your festival shopping. From locally sourced, popular products to globally recognized merchandise beyond the borders, products from both, local & international destinations will do the rounds at ATF.
Visitors looking for a local touch can browse through local handicrafts & textiles by visiting at the Omani products pavilion while visitors interested in sourcing international brands can kick-start their shopping sprees with quality, affordable products from all around the world at ATF!
