THE stars came out to play for luxury retail group Al Hawaj’s 25th annual ghabga extravaganza with raffle prizes galore and entertainment in store for the hundreds of guests who gathered under the Ramadan tent in Barbar.

Amongst the VIPs were Kuwait ambassador Shaikh Azzam bin Mubarak Al Sabah, British ambassador Simon Martin and his lucky wife Sophie, who walked away with one of the raffle prizes, and Governor of the Northern Governorate, Al-Sayyed Ali Al-Sheikh Abdul-Hussein Al Asfoor.
