Kube Bahrain, which will be held at La Fontaine, promises to be an exciting event too! In our dining section, we review some of the hidden gems at one of Bahrain’s most popular restaurants in the heart of Adliya, Lanterns. You’ll also find a range of delightful dining options for Eid and throughout May in our dining section. In our interview section this month, we spoke to Indian Legal Consultant V K Thomas, who tirelessly campaigns for a change in law to make the inheritance process easier for expatriates. On May 17th this year, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Federal Republic of Germany will be celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. In our special supplement, we speak to the countries’ respective ambassadors, explore a timeline of the relations, and get to know key individuals who have been instrumental in strengthening these ties. Our motoring aficionado, Kristian Harrison, tells us about his experience driving the Ferrari Portofino M this month.
