Bahrain This Month Magazine - May 2019

In this issue

It’s hard to believe that the Holy Month has come around again so quickly, but let me take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you Ramadan Kareem.
In the spirit of the month, our main feature in this issue brings you details of more than 20 fabulous Iftar and Ghabga options to suit friends, families or business gatherings. We’ve also taken expert advice on both wellness and mindfulness during the period of fasting, to help you get the most from this special time.
And, though Ramadan is almost upon us, there are season closing events to be enjoyed as well as various cultural activities taking place throughout the month. You’ll find all the details in our Happenings section, which is regularly updated online at www.bahrainthismonth.com
Elsewhere this month, in the interview section, Egyptian Ambassador, HE Soha El Far, reflects on her time in the Kingdom and how impressed she has been, particularly by the number of women taking important roles in society. There are also words from hospitality veteran Abdul Rahim Al Sayed, who reflects on the state of the industry as he heads towards retirement. And author Rehan Khan tells of his journey from telecoms specialist to published author.
