Gulf Weekly 2022: The Year That Was

Gulf Weekly Naman Arora
By Naman Arora

After a two-year Covid-19 pandemic marred by social restrictions and health precautions, 2022 was the year in which we returned to a new version of normal. The year was filled with tales of travels, both of Bahrainis conquering new heights and globetrotters traversing through our sandy shores.

We also witnessed the relaxing of restrictions and with that, came the opening of a plethora of art exhibitions, conventions and more.

Bahrain’s creative scene was abuzz, as new albums, art pieces and films, many of which were created in isolation during the pandemic, were finally showcased to live audiences.

We would like to wish our family of readers, advertisers, website visitors, social media friends and YouTube viewers a lovely and lively 2023.

As we head into a more promising 2023, GulfWeekly continues to be the most home-delivered English-language weekly newspaper in the kingdom – so once again, a big ‘thank you’ for your continued support.

The GulfWeekly is delivered every Wednesday to homes, clubs and businesses across the kingdom. Many subscribers to our sister newspapers, the Gulf Daily News and Akhbar Al Khaleej also enjoy the GulfWeekly’s artistic and community features.

As the country goes through economic changes to prepare for the future and achieve His Majesty King Hamad’s Vision 2030, we have particularly enjoyed highlighting the work that young Bahrainis and expats have done within their communities to improve the kingdom.

Now in our 22nd year of publication, we continue to offer local businesses a unique cost-effective multi-channel (print, online and social media) advertising platform to connect with our readers so they too can share in our success.

Our website www.gulfweekly.com has had thousands of visitors from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and even as far afield as the US, Canada, India and Europe. We are also part of the GDN Media group of platforms, providing greater reach for our advertisers and variety of content for our readers.

We remain ever grateful to our weekly contributors and look forward to bringing you even more stories affecting the kingdom’s diverse community.

on behalf of the GulfWeekly team.
