Emaar Community Market Days

Dubai, UAE, June 13, 2006: As part of Emaar’s ongoing ‘Celebrating Lifestyles’ programme, the company recently held two Community Market Days within its Arabian Ranches and The Meadows/The Springs neighbourhoods. The fun packed days included a range of children’s activities and entertainment for the residents of Arabian Ranches, The Meadows and The Springs as well as raising money for a local children’s charity.

The Community Market Days gave residents the opportunity to rent a table and sell a variety of goods to other residents in their community. With items ranging from handmade cards, sporting goods, clothes and other household articles, the days attracted over 100 tables. The monies raised from the rental of the tables were donated to the Al Noor Training Centre for Children with Special Needs.

During the course of the day, youngsters were treated to various entertainment ranging from bouncy castles and a big chief slide to face painters, balloon benders and cartoon characters. Jebel Ali Hospital was also on hand to provide residents with complimentary blood pressure checks and blood sugar levels.

“A good day was had by all and the community event was well attended by residents. A new concept in Emaar’s ‘Celebrating Lifestyles’ programme, the Community Market Days provide an ideal opportunity for neighbours and families to get together, enjoy themselves and socialize as a community,” said Ahmad Al Falasi, Director of Property Management, Emaar Properties.  “We will be organising similar events throughout our communities.”
