Good morning Bahrain, this is Newzak. We bring you local news every morning at 7AM.

Sea Causeway
Bahrain has approved a backup passenger sea route to Saudi Arabia, ensuring travel continues if the causeway faces disruptions. The move offers a reliable alternative, but the question is: will it be faster than the causeway, or simply a backup when traffic stops?

Currency Swap
Bahrain and the UAE have signed a BD2 billion currency swap agreement, strengthening financial ties and economic stability. The five-year deal allows both countries to access each other’s currencies, helping support trade, boost liquidity, and provide a safety net during uncertain times.

Korean Teacher
Seven years ago, it started with YouTube. Today, Zahra Al-Safi is Bahrain’s first licensed Korean teacher. What began as curiosity turned into years of study, competitions, and real dedication. Now, she’s back at the same institute where she once learned but this time she’s teaching others. This is proof of what sticking with something can lead to.

Flights Resume
Flights at Bahrain International Airport are gradually resuming after the country’s airspace reopened. Authorities are working with airlines to ensure safe and smooth operations, with passengers advised to check with their airlines for the latest updates.

Surgical Error
A Bahraini court has awarded a family BD5,400 in compensation after a surgical mistake caused a permanent 12% disability. The court confirmed that even if no criminal charges are proven, victims can still receive compensation.

The camel wishes you a good morning!
