A jam-packed calendar of numerous tourism and entertainment events awaits visitors to Bahrain for the rest of the year as the country continues to mark Manama’s reign as the Gulf tourism capital for 2024.
With its opulent accommodation packages, alluring excursions and festivals, the kingdom promises to provide visitors with an abundance of entertaining events and experiences that will guarantee a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience, tourism bosses say.
In an effort to maintain year-round tourism momentum, the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) has unveiled special ‘Eid in Bahrain’ activities from Tuesday to April 14 in a bid to woo more visitors from neighbouring states and further afield.
These activities will consist of exclusive travel packages, celebrations and other entertainment events at locations across the kingdom.
BTEA CEO Sara Ahmed Buhiji said the authority was committed to launching ‘brand new initiatives and innovative festivals’ to make the island ‘the ideal option’ for people looking for ‘unique entertainment and unwinding attractions’. “The festivals and programmes that will appeal to all tastes,” she promised.
Events will include marine activities, cultural celebrations, live concerts and musical performances. On numerous occasions, they will bring Bahrain and Gulf heritage to life and illuminate Manama, while also displaying a distinctive cultural identity on a regional and global scale.
Starting on the first day of Eid Al Fitr in the cultural hall in Manama and the Muharraq Model Youth Centre Theatre in Busaiteen, there will be a wide variety of activities, including comedies and family plays. Many retail centres will also host activities, music and light shows.
During Eid in Bahrain, guests of all nationalities can enjoy exclusive stays at three- to five-star hotels and resorts, as well as special tourism trips, entertainment and hospitality deals spread out across the country’s most popular attractions.
Prominent regional and international superstars, including Mohammed Abdu, Khaled Al Shaikh, Amr Diab, Metro Boomin, and others, will perform at a number of upcoming live concerts at Al Dana Amphitheatre in April and May too.
The activities are consistent with the objectives of Bahrain’s tourism strategy 2022-2026, which aim to increase the contribution of tourism to the country’s GDP, diversify the kingdom’s tourism product and strengthen its position as ‘an ideal tourist destination’, BTEA added.
