Good morning Bahrain, this is Newzak. We bring you local news every morning at 7AM.
5 Days Off
Eid al-Fitr is almost here, and the government has announced a 5-day public holiday to ease you back in. Before you disappear to your family's house, swing by Bahrain Islamic Bank to grab the new Eid banknotes, it's tradition for a reason.
CBSE Cancelled
Lucky day to be an Indian student CBSE exams have been cancelled across the entire Middle East. More revision time for some, more PlayStation time for most.
Basket Finals
Al Muharraq and Manama are heading to the Khalifa Bin Salman Cup final. Muharraq defeated Al Ahli comfortably, while Manama had to dig deep, coming back to beat Al Najma 77-75. Personal prediction: Romeo Enan drags Manama over the line.
Al Munther turns one
Bahrain's first satellite has been orbiting Earth for exactly a year today. The Bahrain Space Agency is marking the first anniversary of Al Munther's launch, which lifted off on March 15, 2025 and hit orbit without a hitch. Will we have Gulf Space air in the future?
Factak: Bahrain was the first Arab Gulf country to discover oil in commercial quantities in 1932.
The camel wishes you a good morning!
