As the golden glow of lanterns flickers, InterContinental Bahrain opens its doors to A Journey Through Timeless Traditions—a Ramadan celebration that bridges heritage with contemporary elegance. This year, the hotel transforms into a sanctuary of warmth and nostalgia, offering a heartfelt homage to Bahrain’s treasured customs.
Step into an atmosphere where tradition and modernity converge. Indulge in a sumptuous Iftar and Ghabga, where each dish is a tribute to authentic Arabian flavours, paired with global culinary delights. The gentle strings of a harpist accompany the evening, weaving an enchanting melody into the air as guests gather to break their fast. Live BBQ stations sizzle with the finest cuts, while aromatic shisha, served during Ghabga, adds to the charm of the night.
Beyond the flavours, the hotel brings a cultural masterpiece to life through a special collaboration with local Bahraini artists Mahdi Al Bannai and Mohammed Buhasan. Their exhibition, Glow of Nostalgia, paints a vivid dialogue between two eras—reviving generational memories, capturing the soul of Bahraini heritage through fine art photography and bronze sculpture. This visual symphony, set against the backdrop of Ramadan’s serenity, invites guests to experience art as a bridge across time, evoking cherished memories and traditions that remain ever luminous.
For a more exclusive experience, private Iftar and Ghabga banquets are set within the refined elegance of Riffa Ballroom, where corporate and family gatherings find the perfect setting. Special Iftar evenings for women add an extra touch of hospitality, with delightful surprises awaiting guests throughout the month.
Iftar and Ghabga will be served at the Regency Tent by Selections Restaurant. Iftar begins at Sunset and runs until 8:30 pm, priced at BHD 24 net per person (kids below 6 dine free). Ghabga will be served from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am and is priced at BHD 20 net per person.
