Things to do in Bahrain: Aug 8-14

Sci-fi at the cinema, family golf and water park fun

Catch a movie
Released last week Total Recall stars Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel in a remake of the 1990 movie with Arnie Schwarzenegger. There’s no trip to Mars and some decidedly political undertones but who could resist Farrell and Biel.
Cinemas across Bahrain. Check local press for cinema timings

Calling lady entrepreneurs
The Women’s World Expo brings together entrepreneurs and home businesses from across the island to help them market their products. If you fancing branching out into the marketplace, take a look.
Aug 10, Movenpick Hotel 8pm-1am. Call (33 227 627)

Family golfing
Take advantage of the Wee Monty family deal where adults play for BD15 and kids play free including green fee and club hire.
Every Sat, Royal Gulf Club, 10am-2pm. Call (80 008 089)

Fast for a day
To really get into the spirit of Ramadan, and if you aren’t fasting already, trying it for a day will give a small insight into what Muslims around Bahrain are currently feeling each day. And it will make the evening iftar or gabgha taste all the better.
Aug 11, various locations

Make a splash
Where better to cool down during the hottest month of the year than at the Lost Paradise of Dilmun waterpark. The hours have changed to fit in with fasting but they’re open right the way through the Holy Month and the restaurants are also operating so you can even break your fast by the beach.
Until Eid, call for timings. Call (17 845 100)
