Al Harmoudi spoke about the project on the sidelines of an event where Dubai announced two Guinness World Records for a pair of gold earrings. The handcrafted pieces, made in the traditional jhumka style, set records for the heaviest pair of gold earrings and the largest pair of earrings in the world.The district also has plans for a major exhibition dedicated to gold and jewellery trading, which Al Harmoudi said aims to become the largest trade exhibition of its kind in the Middle East.
Gulf Today reported that the Dubai Gold District has seen an uptick in business activity this year. The number of wholesale gold trading offices operating there has increased by 20% since the beginning of the year, while new outlets selling gold, jewellery, precious stones and luxury watches have risen by 15%.Expansion work is also underway to accommodate businesses looking to establish a presence in the district.
Al Harmoudi expects the number of companies moving there to grow by 10% to 20% over the coming year, alongside the addition of more office and retail spaces.- Ends
