Children's holiday without borders

THERE IS ALREADY 15 YEARS CONTRACTING WITH HOT SUMMER IN DUBAI FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES OPENING THE CITY OF ATTRACTIONS "WORLD MODESHA" - MERRY SUNNY CHARACTER, WHICH IS LONGER PERFORMED. WITHOUT HIM, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRESENT THE DUBAI SUMMER SURPRISES FESTIVAL - NOT LESS TRADITIONAL FOR THE EMIRATE - THE FESTIVAL OF SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT, WHICH OFFERS "MORE" ALL THIS EVERYTHING IN THIS SEASON.

This year, the Modhesha World indoor theme park has changed its location and occupied the area of ​​all eight pavilions of the Dubai International Trade Center. Loud music and children's laughter never cease here, colorful performances and shows are held daily, including performances by acrobats, magicians, circus and theater artists from around the world. And, of course, we are very pleased to contemplate our Russian tricolor above the main concert arena.

Indeed, since the founding of this summer holiday, magnificent performances have been presented to the audience by the Russian company Tatiana Entertainment. This year, three bright and impressive productions were put on the court of young and adult spectators - “Stolen Smile” (“Stolen Smile”) based on Russian folk tales, “Lucky Tickets for Olympics” (“Happy Ticket for the Olympics”) on the topic of upcoming Summer Olympic Games in London and “Circus Show” (“Circus Show”), where, in addition to young artists, “our smaller ones” took part - cats and dogs from the Moscow circus named after Yu. V. Nikulin on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

The "Russian" performances are attended by groups from Moscow and St. Petersburg, Klin and Cherepovets. They demonstrate amazing plasticity and acting, as well as a great stucco sense of humor. The plot is based on the ideas of friendship, peace, the victory of good over evil, understandable in all languages. That is why the auditorium is always crowded. A special place in the show, of course, is given to sports topics. After all, we are on the verge of the Summer Olympics in London, and in two years it will come to our native, however, winter Sochi. So our troupe could not get around this topic. The performances of the Russian team are held six times a week and three times a day, except for Sundays. Speaking generally about the “Modhesh World”, it is safe to say that every child will find here not only entertainment, but also a lot of cognitive. In this children's city under the roof, you can get acquainted with a variety of animals and birds, the traditions of your own country or ride on merry-go-rounds. Especially popular among kids are tents with "snow" on the background of the Russian hut. After all, snow is a real exotic for them.

The town covers an area of ​​37 thousand square meters. meters and divided into 36 thematic zones. The second hall housed the cultural heritage zone, where you can learn more about the life of the Bedouins and get acquainted with their homes, clothes, household utensils and traditional crafts. “This exposition greatly enriched my knowledge. Now I clearly imagine how the Bedouin Arabs, the indigenous citizens of the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, lived before the skyscrapers appeared. I like to watch how they prepare national dishes, especially sweets,” said a visitor from Russia .

In the zone that Panasonic has equipped, the traditions of the East meet Western civilization. Here you can see the world through 3D glasses and learn about the most beautiful corners of the planet. Recall that the “Modhesha World” children's park this year will run until August 25, and the summer festival of surprises will last only until July 14, and then the time will come for the holy month of Ramadan.

Traditionally, more than 50 major shopping centers and more than six thousand Dubai stores take part in the Dubai Summer Surprises. In the largest of them you can meet a lot of new acquaintances or favorite movies and cartoon characters - "SpongeBob", "The Smurfs" or heroes of Walt Disney paintings. Participants of the summer festival are waiting for numerous sales and lotteries, fashion shows, as well as more than 100 entertainment events under the roofs of shopping centers.

The 15th festival, as well as all the previous ones, relies on the popularization of Dubai as a summer tourist destination. It is expected that he will make a significant contribution to the economy of the emirate. Last year, 4 million people attended a fun family holiday, and the total volume of purchases amounted to 8.8 billion dirhams (US $ 2.4 billion). Of course, someone will say that mainly guests from neighboring Gulf countries fly to Dubai Summer Surprises. We dare to object to you, in the summer tourists come to Dubai from all over the world, because they are well aware of discounts in hotels, restaurants and spas, and that when a festival reigns in the city, summer in the UAE can simply not be boring!

Come and you! It will be fun.

TATIANA FADEEVA, Director of Tatiana Entertainment:

Our company is Dubai, but the management and staff are from Russia. We have been cooperating with the festival since its foundation in 1996. And invariably, our show programs are recognized as the best, while we did not bring any of them twice. The audience who come to our performances has the impression that we rehearse them for a long time and bring them ready.

But it is not so. Professionals of high skill work with us, and sometimes, being not familiar with each other, they first meet here in Dubai during the final collection of the program. This is the "highlight" of the work of our company, that in 3-4 days we will prepare here, on the spot, a program whose success and entertainment will not leave any spectator indifferent.

Performances of the Russian troupe are held 6 times a week, except Sunday, three times a day. The events of the town, which will run until August 25, can be found on the website www.modheshworld.com
