There are few areas in Bahrain that don’t have some sort of construction going on. It seems like there’s a new high-rise going up every other day. And no two rarely look the same. The area where I took this shot is the perfect example […]

Sunset Watching from Bahrain Fort
During winter Bahrain comes alive. People are outside making the most of the cool weather, especially in places like Bahrain Fort. Which is one of my favourite sunset watching spots. Bahrain Fort is probably one of the most famous tourist sites in Bahrain. It’s a […]
This Unapologetic Wall
This bright yellow wall and blue door felt slightly out-of-place in Muharraq. Buildings here are usually white, beige, or some other neutral colour. The buildings blend into the desert like landscape they sit in. And then there’s this. Unapologetically standing out next to the grey […]

Waking up to this sort of view usually means one thing—widespread dust. And waking up on the day I took this shot I assumed exactly the same thing. But I was wrong. It wasn’t dust obscuring everything outside, but fog instead. One of the densest, […]

Night Time Activities
There’s a lot of continuous construction in Bahrain. Especially in the area I live in. It’s not uncommon to see construction work going on at night. During the summer months, that’s when most of the work happens thanks to the scorching daytime temperatures. (Not that […]
Strolling by on a Quiet Sunday Afternoon, in Muharraq
The time between lunch time and just before the sun goes down is generally a quiet time in Muharraq. Shops and restaurants are closed. Cars still whizz by on the roads, but there’s definitely fewer people about. And this is in winter, when the weather […]
