Jewelry Arabia


Jewelry Arabia is the 3rd largest exhibition for jewels in the world and the largest in the region.  It is an enormous showcase for Bahrain and traders from around the world attend.  It is such a boon to the local economy, the Prime Minister personally, and officially, opens the event.  Since MODA Mall has a booth, I was treated to VIP passes for the day.  It was an interesting view of the world...much of the jewelry is in excess of $100,000.
 
I was this close to the PM.  Remarkably, the event had no security checks for admission while he was there.
A red carpet arrival.  The PMs motorcade arriving.

Firas, our Sr. Property Manager and one of our tenants.  Mikaela got a string of natural pearls as a gift from them...I paid.
