Summer is truly here, and this month we’re celebrating all things arts and culture. With a finger on Bahrain’s creative pulse, we’ve caught up with some exceptional local talent to find out what keeps them inspired. The French Embassy honours the winner of its photography competition, Al Riwaq explores technology through art in its latest group show and Al Jasra Handicrafts Centre keeps traditions alive through its creative workshops. For families, the Bahrain Summer Toy Festival returns alongside fun-filled kids’ camps. On the motoring front, priority ticket access is open for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 and we spent the day with the Porsche Panamera Manufacturer Edition. In dining, we explored new flavours – from the newly opened Brasero Atlántico to fresh Italian at Rosso and authentic Balti cuisine at Rasmalai. Our travel pages reveal the most trending destinations for 2025 and, as always, we bring you the latest in beauty, tech and entertainment to round it all out. Whatever your plans
