Bahrain Dragon City opened in Diyar Al Muharraq

The Bahrain Dragon City, a Chinese-themed shopping mall in the Kingdom, was officially opened on 27 December. The mall, managed by the China Middle East Investment and Trade Promotion Center (Chinamex) and located in Diyar Al Muharraq, hosts more than 500 Chinese companies. The Bahrain Dragon City site includes a 50,000 sqm market, along with a warehouse facility, a leisure complex and restaurants. The development aims to strengthen family tourism in Bahrain, and is expected to contribute to increasing visitor numbers from the GCC. China’s East Star Group has already announced it has invested a further US$10 million at the Bahrain Dragon City to build an 18,000 sqm storage facility. Khalid Al Rumaihi, chief executive of Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), said: “The EDB has made attracting Chinese businesses to the Kingdom a top priority and we are extremely proud to see the Bahrain Dragon City open for business. “As a regional tourism hub attracting millions of visitors each year, Bahrain, being a gateway to the GCC market, allows GCC visitors ease of entry into the Kingdom whether through the King Fahd Causeway or Bahrain International Airport, which provides a large network of flights to and from the GCC capitals.”
