Good morning Bahrain, this is Newzak. We bring you local news every morning at 7AM.
Happy Bahrain
The 2026 World Happiness Report is out and Bahrain climbed four places to rank 55th in the world. The reason? Not the weather. Over 84% of residents say they have someone to count on : family, friends, community. Let’s get under 50 next year!
Run Horse Run
Bahrain Turf Club wrapped up today's meeting with strong finishes across the board. The track delivered, the crowd showed up, and there are names to watch this season.
Singapore Showdown
Both the men's and women's national 3x3 basketball teams have started preparations for the Asia Cup in Singapore, April 1-5. World Cup qualification is on the line.
Calorie Labels
Bahrain approved mandatory calorie and ingredient labelling for restaurants nearly ten years ago. It still hasn't happened. Parliament is pushing again, with Capital Trustees Board chairman Saleh Tarradah warning that Bahrain is falling behind the rest of the Gulf on consumer transparency. You have a right to know what's in your food.
Al Salam Bank
All Al Salam Bank branches return to normal operating hours from Wednesday March 25. If you've been managing digitally, the branches are ready. If you prefer the app, it's available around the clock.
Factak: Bahrain is occasionally home to the rare Ocellated Eagle Ray, truly beautiful!
The camel wishes you a good morning!
