It’s just less than a week to Christmas Day, but many people might still be wondering where to buy items to use during the festive season. Worry not as the ongoing Egypt and Middle East Expo at Petit Stade in Remera, Kigali could be your answer.

Already, exhibitors say products like food processors, kitchen kits, clothes for both female and male, jewelry, shoes and cosmetics, as well as gift items are highly sought after by showgoers.

Appoline Hadija, a local exhibitor, said the prices are "pocket-friendly” to ensure that as many buyers as possible leave something from fair.

Florian Mello, a salesperson for a Singaporean exhibitor, said the turnup has been impressive, adding that the products being showcased have excited many buyers.

Jonah Kintu, a salesperson, is optimistic that more people will come to the event.

"Many people are buying different items and there is hope we will receive more because many people are now aware of the trade fair,” she said.

Louise Nigena, another buyer, appreciated the fact that there is a variety of products showcased at the expo. Nigena said the trade fair is timely as it will help buyers get different products under one roof.

The exhibition, which started last Friday, ends on December 31.
