dragon mart

More than a dozen stores selling Chinese goods such as furniture, phone and hair accessories and a small grocery have opened as part of the soft opening of Dragon Mart, which is located in Barwa Commercial Avenue.

The complex of Chinese shops and stalls has finally been granted a permit to operate in Qatar, after meeting new, stricter fire safety requirements from Civil Defense. A formal launch is expected next month.

The long-awaited Chinese goods complex has been postponed until it meets new, stricter government safety guidelines, an embassy official told Doha News.
