What began as a new chapter all those years ago, has grown into a lifelong connection with a country I am both privileged and proud to call my enduring home now. This month’s issue celebrates the very spirit of what makes Bahrain so special to all who live here: its hospitality, history and heart. We begin with diplomacy and heritage. Egypt’s Ambassador to Bahrain, Her Excellency Riham Khalil, reflects on the strength of bilateral ties, while His Excellency Bishop Aldo Berardi speaks on the 85-year legacy of Sacred Heart Church and Bahrain’s enduring commitment to coexistence. In our extensive Luxury feature, we explore how elegance is evolving in hospitality, design and jewellery. From the newly renovated Grand Ambassador Ballroom at The Diplomat Radisson Blu to the timeless creations of Devji and Bahrain Jewellery Centre, we highlight the brands and people setting new standards in refinement. This month’s cover image, a stunning moment captured by Kiran Varghese during a Fujifilm Bahrain photowalk, speaks to this quiet sophistication. Motoring enthusiasts will enjoy a glimpse inside the Bentley Flying Spur, while design lovers can discover how Mint Design’s Isa Al Thawadi is reshaping modern interiors with purpose and polish. We also spotlight the Sheraton’s premium dining and Al Sedra’s Folklore Nights, each bringing cultural richness to the table. Over in Woman This Month, we meet inspiring figures including Bahrain’s Honorary Consul of the Netherlands, Zeenat Dawani, Chartered Institute of Building Bahrain Hub Chair Lina Saeed, M&M Beauty Lounge founder, Munara Kyialbek Kyzy, and lifestyle icon Donna Benton of The ENTERTAINER. Our In Her Shoes column this month highlughts Eunice Roldan, the marketing dynamo at Barceló Hotel & Residences. As ever, Bahrain This Month remains your Guide to a Great Way of Life.
