Baghdad’s Babylon Mall prepares for back-to-school season

BAGHDAD, September 12 — Baghdad’s Babylon Mall has dedicated a significant portion of its ground floor to stationery and school supplies in anticipation of the new academic year.

The sales manager at Panorama Bookstore in the mall stated: “We began our promotional offers a few days ago for students and these will continue until the start of the school year. Every year, we prepare for the academic year about a month in advance.”

“This year, we have chosen to allocate a larger space on the ground floor of the mall to welcome students and their families in what resembles a festival,” the manager added. “As part of our promotions, we are offering a gift in the form of a school bag worth 25,000 dinars to anyone who makes a purchase of 75,000 dinars or more.”
