124 July 2014 www.bahrainthismonth.com Every year for Ramadan, Coral Bay hosts a dining experience called ‘Ramadan by the Sea’. “This is an entertaining family and friends’ gathering where all the excitement, food and culture is combined together to give everyone the best Ramadan experience possible,” says restaurant manager, Ramzi Al Awar. “This year is going to be bigger and better than ever.” Guests will be spoilt for choice trying to choose from two venues, Rayés and the Karma Lounge. Or better still, why not get the experience of both? Serving authentic Lebanese cuisine, Rayés will be decked out with two large and seven big plasma television screens for guests to enjoy World Cup matches. “The idea is to spice up the venue’s atmosphere with a bigger crowd from dusk until dawn,” says Ramzi. “Every year, we embrace the Holy Month as it is the most significant family-friendly annual event in our calendar, attracting a multicultural audience.” A tent has been set up on the Karma Lounge terrace overlooking the marina.
