Bahrain This Month Magazine - November 2020

In this issue

Welcome to our November digital issue, we hope all our readers are staying safe. October has been an exciting month for the Kingdom of Bahrain given the reopening of restaurants and a significant drop in the number of active COVID-19 cases. The lower transmission rates and renewed sense of normality has citizens looking forward to the months to come.
One of the most illustrious achievements for Bahrain last month was when the 18-strong Bahrain Everest team scaled Mt. Manaslu in the Himalayas. We caught up with exhibition leader, Chris Anthony, who told us all about the glorious achievement, the challenges of the climb and plans for future projects. We were also delighted to interview Korea’s new Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain, HE Chung Hae Kwan, who discussed the countries’ bilateral trade, cultural exchanges and more.
Being indoors and staying safe has led to people looking for alternative means of entertainment like tabletop gaming. We were given some insight into the ever-growing gaming community in Bahrain in our interview with a young Bahraini entrepreneur, Fahad Mohanna, who’s created a safe space for “like-minded people to geek out”.
In one of our main features this month, we delved into the healthcare industry by exploring selected hospitals and clinics in the Kingdom. We also took some time out to overview the glittery world of Jewellery given that the usual excitement surrounding it, in the shape of Jewellery Arabia, won’t be happening this year.
