A fun workshop will be taking place every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during Ramadan, where kiddos will be treated to a factory tour (including the chance to taste the good stuff!), before they sit down and get creative making their own paper wrappers for their chocolate bars. The price per child is 95 AED – and the workshop is suitable for kids between 3 and 12 years old.
When: Mon, Tues, Wed throughout Ramadan, 2pm-5pm
Where: Mirzam Chocolate Factory, Alserkal Avenue
