Experience the Bedouin way of life or join the Iftah Ya Simsim parade at The Galleria when the Eid Al Adha festivities kick-off on Al Maryah Island next week.

On the first two days of Eid, the shopping centre will put up a bedouin tent, highlighting the country’s traditions with music and folks dance, and serving Arabic dates and coffee to visitors.

Mallgoers can learn about falconry and get up-close to the birds on display or opt to watch sand artists and get henna art painted on their body.

Children can interact and learn from the muppets No'man, Shams, Gargur, and Elmo during the Iftah Ya Simsim parade, or take up arts and crafts activities at the mall.
