5. Catch the last call for Hawa Al Manama

If you haven’t visited the Manama Souq lately, this is your sign. Hawa Al Manama is wrapping up its second edition, and this is the final full weekend to experience it! It’s a total nostalgic dream, taking you through Bahrain’s golden eras from the 60s to the 90s.

Expect antique auctions, vintage cinema screenings, and the famous Halwa Factory where you can see the magic happen up close. It’s the perfect spot for a night stroll.

4. Enjoy a massive night for music at Beyon Al Dana

Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre is hosting one of the biggest Arabic music events of the year this Friday: Jalsat: Three Gulf Voices. Featuring the legendary Abadi Al-Johar, alongside the soulful Mutrif Al-Mutrif and Fahad Al Kubaisi, this is a masterclass in Khaleeji music. There’s nothing quite like hearing these icons perform under the stars at Bahrain’s most atmospheric outdoor venue.

3. Check out the fresh picks at The Ritz-Carlton

There is no Friday morning ritual quite like a Farmers’ Market. The Annual Farmers’ Market at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain is back, and it’s basically a hug in event form.

Expect the irresistible aroma of a traditional Bahraini breakfast (Shakshuka, Balaleet, and Gaimat), fresh local produce, and plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy. It’s the best way to start your Friday with a clear head and a full stomach.

2. Feast like boss at Supernova

If you haven’t heard the hype yet, where have you been? London’s famous hidden gem, Supernova, has officially landed in Bahrain, and it is living up to every bit of the reputation.

Their menu is simple but deadly: smashed beef patties, soft potato buns, and that signature house sauce that just hits different. Pair it with their golden fries and a signature sundae for the ultimate weekend cheat meal.
