Spirit of Ramadan
LAVISH RAMADAN SPREADS
Ramadan, the month of giving and sharing, presents a
unique experience in Bahrain every year due to the
Kingdom's rich traditions of hospitality and culture.
During this month, all hotels and resorts in the Kingdom put
together a selection of dishes varying only in ingredients
and presentation. All uniformly promise a rare gastronomic
experience. Iftar and Ghabgha evenings are special
occasions and the hotels in the Kingdom outdo themselves in
creating extraordinary experiences and ambience.
The Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, Ritz-Carlton Hotel,
Sofitel Hotel, Sheraton Hotel, Gulf Hotel, Downtown Rotana and
Al Areen Palace Hotel are among the major properties gearing
up to welcome families and friends not only from Bahrain but
from neighbouring GCC countries. Here we present a round up
of some the best Iftar and Ghabga spreads.
