Strong winds of change!
As the cooler weather flirts with the warmer climate, the Kingdom of Bahrain
prepares for the warmth that will engulf the island for the next few months. Strong
winds mark the beginning of summer as Bahrain dwells in the quietened demeanour
of the daytime and comes to life at night as the cooler zephyr breezes through the
country. These changes also brought about with them celebratory moments such
as that of the Hurafuna Festival, which is an ode to one of the oldest traditions of
handicrafts in Bahrain. Bab Al Bahrain bustled with locals and visitors alike, and the
art of handicrafts was once again the centre of the Kingdom’s attention. Another
tradition that has always been at the core of the country’s identity is that of pearling,
and at Al Hashimi Pearls the tradition is celebrated by adorning each piece of
jewellery produced with the finest of natural pearls in all shapes, sizes, and lustres –
showcasing them in all their gleaming glory.
Food lovers can rejoice as the Kingdom is now become home to one of the most
anticipated fusion-food venue in Block 338, Asia De Cuba, where the Chino-Latino
cuisine, live music, and upbeat ambiance make for an enticing experience, inviting
guests to become a part of the cuban joie de vivre. The love for food and travel come
together under the roof of the restaurant Houseboat as diners are taken on a pan-Asian
journey through India, China, Japan, and Thailand through the delicious dishes and
tropical dessert, complemented with a picturesque view of the Amwaj Lagoon.
The world of sports also takes a turn in Bahrain as it welcomes Lift Bahrain, the
country’s first ever fully dedicated boxing gym that also offers strength and
conditioning. Offering more than just the skills to become a boxer, Lift Bahrain aims to
educate the Kingdom about the ethos of the rigorous sport and hopes to make it the
centre of boxing in the region. Sports enthusiasts can also enjoy a bit of indulgence
at The Royal Gold Club, with its lush greenery and impressive golf course as a scenic
background and delicious dining options, whether for a hearty meal, a light snack,
or their ever-famous Friday Brunch at their flagship restaurant Links, where diners are
treated to a delectable spread and live music. The best part is? You don’t even have to
be a member of the Royal Golf Club to commemorate a Friday afternoon!
