Saudi Pavilion showcases world’s largest book at Dubai’s Global Village

The Saudi Pavilion at Global Village, the region’s major cultural, shopping and entertainment family outdoor destination, was opened with the support of Saudi Cultural Attache in the UAE Saleh H. Al-Suhaibani, in the presence of Islamic scholar Professor Ahmed Al-Kubaisi; Saeed Ali bin Redha, Global Village CEO; Mohammed Saeed Al-Awlaki, chairman of the board of Mshahed Investment Group; and Ebrahim Jaber, chief executive of 3B United Group and the organizer of KSA Pavilion at Global Village.
After cutting the ribbon, the guests took a tour around the pavilion and headed to the Saudi Islamic Museum where the largest book in the world “This is Muhammad” (PBUH), is showcased. A film was presented about the making of the book, the awards it gained and places where it was showcased. Guests took the initiative of signing on the dedicated page, as the main objective of the book is to collect one million signatures in the love and appreciation of the prophet of Islam, before the book continues its tour to other cities.
The Saudi Pavilion is designed to host the most authentic products and reflect the country’s most popular produce. On top of the list, are the Saudi dates that are divided into two regions, Madinah and Qassim. Dates come in many tastes and vary in nutrition, as some are extra sweet and some are glucose-free, the latter being the best choice for people with diabetes.
From the abundant Saudi dates, date cookies became just as famous. Many top Saudi brands of date-filled cookies and cakes are exhibited to give visitors the insights of this delight.
Saudi oil perfumes with homegrown notes such as musk, Oud and fruity base are also available.
