Good morning Bahrain, this is Newzak. We bring you local news every morning at 7AM.
Relief for businesses
One of the main costs for any business is rent, an expense that remains fixed regardless of how well the business is performing. With trade slower than usual, a proposal has been put forward to freeze rents for six months, giving businesses time to recover while helping protect jobs and support small businesses.
April Deals
Shops at Avenues Bahrain are offering discounts and promotions throughout April, making it a great time to pick up a few deals. Personally, I’m eyeing the 25–50% off at LC Waikiki and up to 50% off at Foot Locker, perfect timing to grab a new pair of Under Armour shoes.
Flea Market
The beloved Friday Market in A’ali is set for a comeback, with ten contractors bidding to rebuild it five years after it was shut down due to redevelopment and lack of a permanent site. Known for its mix of antiques, second-hand goods, pets, and street finds, the market will return as.
No Crossing
Due to rising regional tensions, key infrastructure such as bridges has been placed on high alert. As a precaution, the King Fahd Causeway has been temporarily closed to traffic. Authorities say the move is part of wider security measures to protect critical links between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with updates expected as the situation develops.
Factak: Bahrain is estimated to have fewer than 10 nationals from Liechtenstein, making it one of the smallest communities in the country.
The camel wishes you a good morning!
