The DSF Carpet Oasis, one of the biggest shopping events the festival offers to visitors every year, will be back during Dubai Shopping Festival 2006. The 11-day event will be held from January 4 to 14 in Hall 1 of the Dubai World Trade Centre from 10am to 10pm daily and 4 to 11pm on Fridays. Some of the best carpet producing countries will bring a range of high quality products in all sizes, shapes and textures to suit the taste and pocket of the visitors. Intricately hand-woven ones from the master carpet weavers of Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan will be available to the shoppers.
Salah Al Naghi, Member of the DSF Organising Committee from the Dubai Port, Customs and Freezone, and Chairman of the Carpet Oasis, said that although the Carpet Oasis attracts more participants from different countries for hand-woven carpets every year, Iran's participation is noteworthy as their intricate and artistic weaving is one of the best in the world. Al Naghi invited the Iranian merchants along with those from other carpet producing countries and particularly those specialising in hand-woven carpets to participate in the Oasis. Al Naghi also added that the most striking incentive that it offers merchants and industrialists is the lack of taxes on direct sales or on re-exports, in addition to big promotional campaigns to attract visitors from around the world and the UAE.
