Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Set against the shimmering coastline of Bahrain, The Ritz-Carlton’s Masaya Pavilion by stc, in partnership with Behbehani Brothers, has once again raised the bar for an indulgent Ramadan experience.
Television series have long been an integral part of Ramadan traditions in Bahrain, the Gulf and the Arab world at large. Years ago, every evening at the iftar table, families would gather to break their fast and catch the latest episode of their favourite series. This has changed with the advent of satellite TV and video-on-demand, but the Ramadan customs continue. Zainab Almahdi has compiled a list of iconic shows that have shaped Bahraini popular culture, produced by Bahrain TV in the 80s and 90s, starring an ensemble of local talent. Every show boasts its own unique opening and ending sequence - a full-length music video - each a work of art in its own right.
