The valuable participation of Embassies will give visitors the opportunity to get familiar with foreign music, Christmas customs, Christmas specialties from many countries around the world. They will also be able to purchase Christmas gifts, clothes and books for their loved ones. The bazaar will be open from 10 am to 8 pm.
