This month, we highlight a jewel in the education sector with an exclusive interview featuring Abby Saadeh, Academic Principal of the Canadian School Bahrain (CSB). Fresh from launching its High School Graduate Programme, Mrs. Saadeh highlights how the school is shaping the future for students in Bahrain at the state-of-the-art campus in Diyar al Muharraq. On the diplomatic front, we have two exclusive and insightful interviews this month. Malaysian Ambassador HE Shazryll Zahiran sheds light on the Embassy’s plans to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of bilateral relations between the two countries, whilst new Swiss Ambassador to the UAE and Bahrain, HE Arthur Mattli, takes us on a deep dive into the nuances of diplomacy and shares his aspirations for the years to come. In our special Saudi in Bahrain feature, we speak with Mariusz Tymosiewicz, Cluster General Manager of Fraser Suites Seef and Fraser Suites Al Liwan Bahrain, about his experience in the hospitality industry and the hotels’ exciting plans for welcoming Saudi visitors this September. Additionally, renowned Saudi-based electronic music artist and event manager Meshal ‘Mesh’ Alluqman shares his thoughts on the region’s music scene with Farah Baig. Our second feature focuses on Economy Motoring, with Kristian Harrison offering a guide on the dos and don’ts of buying a new or used car, ensuring that you make the right choice when navigating the market place. We also bring you reviews of the Hyundai Santa Fe and a showcase of the wide range of competitively-priced Audi Approved Plus vehicles. Dining enthusiasts will be pleased to read our spotlight on some of the best eateries in September’s Tablehopping. We were lucky enough to check out the exquisite offerings at both La Table Krug at the Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain and Cucina Italiana this month. Woman This Month continues to deliver with a focus on fashion, beauty and inspiring personal stories. This month’s fashion feature rewinds to the glamour of the 80s and 90s with Rasario’s Autumn/Winter 2024-25 collection, celebrating the return of sophistication and style from these iconic decades. We also highlight the achievements of Sumaya Hussain, founder of The Triathlete Factory, as she shares her journey in building a thriving sports academy for young athletes.
