Annual commercial exhibition event / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Damascus International Fair is an annual commercial exhibition event, taking place in Damascus, Syria. Described as "The Syrian economy's window to the world,[4] the fair was first held in 1954 and is the oldest such fair in the middle east.[2] It was annually held in the Umayyad Square, but was cancelled in 2012 due to the Syrian Civil War before resuming again in 2017 and this time in a newly established state-of-the-arts fairground.[4]
