Your perfect day in Bahrain:
• Horse back riding at the Fort by the Fort Club
• A beach day at Jazayir Beach
• A sunrise run along the beach towards the Fort followed by yummy coffee and breakfast at green bar or arabica. Most importantly I love being active and outdoors close to water source or green farm areas.
The best thing about living in Bahrain:
Safety, I leave my doors unlocked, I leave my keys to my car in my car. I run at 5 am and am never scared of my safety as a woman running alone while everyone is still asleep. It’s such a privilege to live in this type of peace and not have to worry at all about your safety, you can’t put a dollar amount on that.
A hidden gem that you tell all your friends about: There is a secret beach only my friends and I know about and we go there to picnic. I would say that’s my hidden gem!
