Welcome to another very exciting edition of Bahrain This Month. Believe it or not, I’m actually writing this down under from the beautiful city of Perth, Western Australia, as I take my first vacation in nearly four years. Even then, I can assure you all that my heart is still very much in Bahrain! As the weather gets increasingly pleasant there are even more events to look forward to. Being your reliable guide to entertainment, and all things Bahrain, you’ll find information on some of the best upcoming events including star-studded concerts, electronic music events and the unique show Faulty Towers too! Considering the fact that Bahrain is easily turning into a hub for gastronomy and entertainment in the region, we took a look at one of the most happening districts in Bahrain – Adliya. Check out our definitive guide to some of the people’s favourite venues in and around the busy Block 338 area including The Foundry, Howdy, Lanterns and more. Anyone typing “Block 338” into their browser from this month onwards, will land on our comprehensive guide saving them time and bother in their leisure, dining and entertainment selection. In keeping with our mission of being connected to every community in Bahrain, we were delighted to meet with the new German ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain, HE Clemens Hach. He talks about his extensive diplomatic career, including his time as head of the Stabilisation Divison at the German Federal Foreign Office, and his priorities during his posting in Bahrain. We also had an insightful chat with a hugely influential figure in the Kingdom and the Gulf’s film and television scene, Qahtan Al Qahtani. Excitement is in the air (quite literally!) with the return of the Bahrain International Air Show, and one of the most anticipated acts is the phenomenal Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows. We sat down for a chat with Flight Lieutenant Patrick Kershaw, also known as Red 3. In our dining section, you’ll find plenty of fantastic listings from some of the very best restaurants. We also had the pleasure of experiencing Hilton Bahrain’s delectable seafood night, and the unique Peruvian pop-up restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay. Since road safety continues to be one of the hottest topics in the motoring industry today, Kristian Harrison examines the latest safety technology and speculates how much further it might go in the coming years. Woman This Month continues to be the ultimate source of fashion, beauty and parenting in the region. Fashion in the region was at an all-time high with the fantastic Arab Fashion Week as over 30 established and upcoming designers put on runway shows. We share our favourite highlights from the event. In keeping with our focus on Block 338, this month we interviewed the wildly talented Tamar Leek. She tells us about her music, performances and how she came to be known as ‘Bahrain Barbie’. The prolific Eman Deabil shared her advice for young professionals trying to make it in the corporate world, while The Foundry’s Supriya Reginald tells us what makes her tick when we take a walk in her shoes. Needless to say, Bahrain This Month continues to be Your Guide to a Great Way of Life! THE TEAM Publisher and Chairman George F.
