Welcome to another exciting edition of Bahrain This Month. It's quite hot outside, but the major advantage is that we can all look forward to some exciting events and even a summer holiday, perhaps! You can make the most of July with our curated happenings listing, which features exciting parties, workshops, and even summer camps. You can find even more events on our website bahrainthismonth.com. The United States of America and the Kingdom of Bahrain have close relations which span well over a century. To mark the 4th of July, we proudly present our special USA in Bahrain supplement, which highlights key collaborators across various sectors including healthcare, education, motoring, and FMCG. As part of the feature, we also had the pleasure of interviewing US Ambassador, HE Steven C. Bondy, who spoke about his objectives as ambassador, his experiences on the island, and the cooperation between the two countries. In our interview section, we speak to The K Hotel's General Manager, Hussain Al Samahiji, about his philosophy and the hotel's next chapter. We also introduce Gulf Hotel Bahrain's new Executive Chef Picco Alapatt, who talks about being at the helm of the hotel's culinary operations. In our dining section this month, we highlight the best of brunches, national feasts, and monthly specials at the very finest of Bahrain's hotels. Maki Restaurant, renowned for their fusion Japanese cuisine, re-opened after extensive renovation unveiling their new Wabi-sabi concept. We also put Ric's Country Kitchen to the taste test following their recent changes. Our motoring section takes things up a gear this month with several car launches and motoring announcements. We were also invited to drive the new Mercedes electric vehicles during a special EQ Roadshow and discovered just why the famous marque is ready to Charge Your Future. In Woman This Month, we interview Philippines Ambassador, HE Anne Jalando-On Louis, who has a prolific diplomatic career and is now making her ambassadorial debut in the Kingdom. She highlights the state of bilateral relations between the two countries. Our other interviewee is the brilliant Yasmin Dickinson, a British-Bahraini scientist in STEM known online as ‘The Cardiac Scientist’. She gives us some insight into the life of a scientist and talks about her recent science policy internship in the UK.
