Art celebrations, racing thrills, and dining specials – you don’t need to look too hard or far to find fun things to do in Bahrain. There’s much to look forward to beyond the 9-to-5 drivel. While the weather’s still breezy, cool, and pleasant, take some time outdoors and explore what’s happening around the island. Whether you’re hanging out after work, for lunch, or having a mid-week outing with the family, there’s plenty to check out in Bahrain this first week of February.
If you’re looking to elevate your midweek lunch routine, Avli by tashas has launched a Business Lunch menu that brings a bit of Mediterranean charm to your afternoon. Head Chef Vlassia Anagnostou’s menu features Greek classics with a contemporary edge. Start with mezedes like Seabream Crudo or Lahanodolmades, move on to mains such as Chicken Souvlaki or Grilled Seabream, then finish with Peach Pavlova or Phyllo Cheesecake Cream.
Running daily until 20 February, this exhibition was inaugurated by H.E. Shaikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa and transforms The Art Centre into a vibrant celebration of local talent and cultural expression. It’s a perfect opportunity to see what Bahrain’s creative community has been working on.
For something truly unique, Il Barza Café offers an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Sip a hot brew while admiring the 400-year-old tree that somehow thrives in the desert. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why Bahrain is special.
The 52nd Bahrain Annual Fine Arts Exhibition begins this week, marking the comeback of the visual arts celebration in the Kingdom. It has embodied the richness and diversity of artistic practice in Bahrain, affirming its presence as a vital contributor to the Arab and global art scene.
