As part of the invited media, I attended the preview evening to explore this year\u2019s Ramadan theme.<span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">.<\/span><\/p><p data-start=\"513\" data-end=\"692\">The first thing I noticed was the glow. Soft lighting reflected off pearl-inspired details across the space, giving the entire setting a warmth that felt intentional and intimate.<\/p><p data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"875\">This Ramadan, InterContinental Bahrain has drawn inspiration from one of the Kingdom\u2019s most meaningful symbols. Pearls. And you feel that story unfolding from the moment you arrive.<\/p><p data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"1177\">Under the theme <b>\u201cCelebrating Heritage, Embracing Togetherness,\u201d<\/b> the hotel has shaped its Iftar experience around Bahrain\u2019s pearling legacy. The atmosphere felt refined yet welcoming. Conversations flowed easily between fellow media guests, partners, and families as they gathered to break their fast.<\/p><p data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1607\">The buffet stretched elegantly across live cooking stations, where chefs prepared Ramadan favourites alongside international dishes. The aroma of freshly grilled meats and warm Arabic sweets filled the tent. I found myself pausing more than once, taking in the details before even deciding what to put on my plate. Live Arabic melodies played gently in the background, adding rhythm to the evening without overpowering the room.<\/p><p data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"2125\">In the lobby, the pearl story continued through curated artistic installations. Miracle Publishing House presented a collection of books and photography capturing Bahrain\u2019s maritime past. French-born artist Tiny Om showcased locally sourced pearls that highlighted craftsmanship and authenticity. Nearby, renowned Bahraini sculptor Mahdi AlBannai exhibited sea-inspired pieces that reflected the depth and beauty of the Kingdom\u2019s underwater heritage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8da9ef4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8da9ef4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 Manama, Bahrain \u2013 The InterContinental Bahrain Ramadan Iftar 2026 opened with an immersive&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":309,"featured_media":10482,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_angie_page":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120,123,102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","category-dining","category-lifestyle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/309"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10473"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10473\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11521,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10473\/revisions\/11521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
