Bahrain could soon be exploring a whole new flavour of family entertainment, with a proposed ice cream museum offering visitors a colourful world of frozen treats, playful installations and picture-perfect backdrops.
A proposal by five
MPs, led by Parliament’s financial and economic affairs committee chairman
Ahmed Al Salloom, calls for a Bahraini variation of the popular ice cream
museum concept, with Awal Dairy emerging as a potential frontrunner able to
lick the opposition, reported GDN, our sister publication.
Al Salloom, who is
also Bahrain Chamber treasurer, believes the company would be an ideal
candidate, given its long-standing presence in the sector.
Established in 1963,
Awal Dairy is the second-oldest dairy company in the region after Kuwait’s KDD,
established just 12 months earlier.
“Bahrain has the
opportunity to introduce a distinctive attraction that combines entertainment,
investment and local industry,” said Al Salloom. “Awal Dairy has a long history
in the kingdom and the region, and we believe it would be an ideal frontrunner
to explore how this concept could be developed into something that appeals to
families and visitors.”
The idea goes way
beyond displaying ice cream making behind glass displays. International
attractions such as Miami’s Museum of Ice Cream turn the familiar dessert into
an immersive experience, combining themed rooms, interactive play areas,
tasting stations and colourful settings designed to delight children and adults
alike.
“If developed, the
attraction could combine interactive exhibits and tasting experiences with the
story of ice cream production, while creating opportunities for local
businesses in food, retail and tourism,” said Al Salloom.
