Bahrain This Month - September 2021

In dieser Ausgabe

It was 8th September, 1997 (24 years exactly to the month!) that a brand-new publication on the streets of Bahrain together with that day’s edition of the Gulf Daily News. That first edition of Bahrain This Month magazine, which had three page sixty-threes, at least two page thirteeens and an unwarranted and unnecessary duplication of half a form, was the beginning of our journey in producing what was the first ever monthly English language magazine in Bahrain.
Our first ever cover boasted an image of ‘Boyzone in Bahrain’ provided by none other than one of our lead interviews this month, the incredibly successful Anglo-Bahraini woman entrepreneur, Eliza Murtaza, the founder of Mirage promotions, who made that image available to us. Through the eyes of her daughter, we take a look into her life and how she changed the face of the live entertainment industry in Bahrain as well as the entire region.
Last, but not least, we spoke to the award-winning Bahraini marine photographer, Hani Bader, who gives us an in depth (pun intended!) look into the marine environment and the colourful species that lie beneath.
