Active cases on the island skyrocketed last month, as did the number of daily deaths, which resulted in the need for the temporary closure of venues. Since it’s everyone’s responsibility to stay in and stay safe, for the well-being of the community, we decided to put together an issue that should make the experience easier to bear. In our dining section, we’ve compiled delectable dining options from hospitality experts such as The Ritz-Carlton, Movenpick and Frasier Suites, which you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home! In our interview section this month, we had a chat with an extremely talented Bahraini musician, Fawaz Al Shaikh, who recently launched his debut album ‘Conference of Birds’. The divinely soothing album, which was mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, is sure to bring on waves of nostalgia and inspire your deepest of thoughts. Our Downtime section is your source of endless entertainment this month with several excellent films and series, games, music and more. There’s plenty to read in our Motoring section this month as Dick Potter delves into the motoring industries’ move towards a greener, more electric future. We also find out more about the Ferrari certification and get the latest news from the BIC, London Concours as well as renowned motoring brands. Pria Masson Tanwar, as usual, gave us some eye-opening insight into the hot new business concept of ‘Cloud Kitchens’. On the other hand, Bill Grieve delved into a topic that we can all relate to - Nuisance Noise in apartment buildings! Thankfully, he provided us with some vital advice and remedial solutions in case we find ourselves in a similar situation. Woman This Month is jam-packed with fun content that’s cool for the summer. While most people dread the heat, our editorial team was overly enthusiastic about “bringing on the bright colours” and worked on a fun fashion focus for you. They’ve also put together a bunch of beauty essentials, skincare, and dazzling accessories to go with your wardrobe too! On the interview front, we spoke to the ever-so-ambitious media personality and influencer, Nasreen Sururi, who told us about how her career got started and her recent new business venture. Being a woman of many talents, there’s plenty of inspiration here! You’ll also enjoy cooking our delicious recipes and delving into the world of interior design with our take on minimalism. The pandemic has proved to be more resilient than anything we’d dreaded, but the good news is – so are we. We’re positive that our beautiful island will make it through as more people take the vaccination, and continue taking precautions through social distancing and mask wearing in public. STAY responsible and STAY safe, of course! Remember, Bahrain This Month on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter will always be ‘Your Guide to a Great Way of Life’.
