That first edition of Bahrain This Month magazine, which had three page sixty-threes, at least two page thirteeens and an unwarranted and unnecessary duplication of half a form, was the beginning of our journey in producing what was the first ever monthly English language magazine in Bahrain. Our first ever cover boasted an image of ‘Boyzone in Bahrain’ provided by none other than one of our lead interviews this month, the incredibly successful Anglo-Bahraini woman entrepreneur, Eliza Murtaza, the founder of Mirage promotions, who made that image available to us. Through the eyes of her daughter, we take a look into her life and how she changed the face of the live entertainment industry in Bahrain as well as the entire region. Our digital edition also takes a look at ‘Healthcare’ in Bahrain exploring some of the Kingdom’s finest health and fitness establishments. We interview the Chief Resident of SMC Accident and Emergency Department, Dr. Cheriyan P.V – a stalwart leader within Bahrain’s healthcare sector who talks about the latest developments in the healthcare system, Bahrain’s internationally-recognised efforts to combat COVID-19, his illustrious career and more. For our main feature, we delve into the specialties of trusted hospitals, medical clinics and a select group of physical wellness practitioners. Our team put together an exciting list of some of the best offerings at hotels and restaurants and also reviewed the Bo.Sabi – one of the latest additions to Bahrain’s dining scene serving the best of Far East Asian cuisine. In the motoring section, Dick Potter’s talks about stolen cars and the current ROI for the ‘Most Favourite Car in the World’. Meanwhile, Pria Masson Tanwar talks about solar energy and the possibility of implementing it in the region. Last, but not least, we spoke to the award-winning Bahraini marine photographer, Hani Bader, who gives us an in depth (pun intended!) look into the marine environment and the colourful species that lie beneath. Woman This Month in its usual fashion brings you the best of fashion, beauty essentials, dazzling accessories, recipes and more! On the fashion front, we explore the FW21 collections of high-end and RTW designers to bring you some of the most head-turning looks. We also collated a list of six beauty essentials and some exceptional skincare that will have you looking your best throughout September. Remember to stay safe, enjoy the freedom that the new Green Level allows us (responsibly) and, as always, remember that Bahrain This Month will always be ‘Your Guide to a Great Way of Life’.
