Doha, Qatar: The fifth edition of the Katara International Kahraman Exhibition continued its activities yesterday for the second consecutive day, attracting a significant number of visitors and amber enthusiasts from within Qatar and abroad. 

The exhibition stands out for its extensive participation of craftsmen, designers, and exhibitors from over 14 countries, who have come to display their unique masterpieces and distinctive amber-based products. This year, the exhibition has seen a tremendous turnout, with visitors flocking to the pavilions to explore a wide array of prayer beads, jewelry, and artistic pieces crafted from rare amber.

Many exhibitors emphasized the importance of this international event, which serves as a regional and global economic platform for marketing amber products. The exhibition features 77 pavilions, each competing to showcase rare and luxurious collections of prayer beads, amber stones, and related products. These offerings cater to a diverse audience, providing amber lovers with a variety of options to suit different tastes.

Mohammed Ishaq, supervisor of the “Kahraman Palace for Rosaries and Antiques – Bahrain” pavilion, expressed his delight at participating in the exhibition. “I am thrilled to be part of this distinguished event, which allows us to explore other cultures and present our products to a wide audience of amber enthusiasts. The organisation is excellent, and the atmosphere fosters collaboration among exhibitors,” he said.

Ishaq highlighted that his pavilion features amber stones sourced from Baltic countries such as Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania, alongside a range of products including prayer beads and accessories used in jewelllerry and decoration, such as rings and bracelets. He also noted that his pavilion is distinguished by its luxurious Karkosha products, which bear a Bahraini imprint.
