The first stand-alone Audi Lounge in the Middle East region was opened by Omar Karkour, chairman of Karkour Trading Company, on Mazzeh Highway late last month.

Damascus elite mingled with media at the opening, admiring Audi displays and accessories as well as the vehicles.

The lounge, which includes a restaurant, replaces conventional menus with iPads, while a state-of-the-art Bang&Olufsen sound system entertains guests with subtle music, just like in Audi’s luxurious cars.

The lounge allows Audi fans and car fans in general the chance to socialize and interact with Audi in an environment, which conveys the Vorsprung durch Technik spirit (Advancement through Technology).

Karkour Trading Company is the official agent for Audi cars in Syria.
