The exhibition showcases more than 10 of Pakistan’s best-known mango varieties, including Sindhri, Chaunsa, White Chaunsa, Anwar Ratol and Dusehri, allowing visitors to experience the rich flavours and diversity of one of Pakistan’s most celebrated agricultural products.
Beyond mangoes, the exhibition also features a selection of Pakistan’s seasonal fruits, including apricots, peaches, jamun and chikoo, which together account for around 20% of the products on display. The inclusion of these fruits offers visitors a broader glimpse into Pakistan’s agricultural sector and its diverse produce.
Specialised chefs and participating restaurants are also presenting innovative mango-inspired dishes and beverages, adding a culinary dimension to the exhibition and providing visitors with new ways to enjoy the fruit beyond its fresh form.
To enhance the visitor experience, organisers have installed a fully air-conditioned exhibition tent measuring approximately 100 metres in length and 30 metres in width at Souq Waqif’s Eastern Square. The venue provides a comfortable environment for families and shoppers despite the summer temperatures, with a range of services and facilities available throughout the event.
The exhibition has become one of Souq Waqif’s signature seasonal attractions.
