Bahrain announces dates for Eid Al Fitr holiday

Bahrain has announced the dates of public holidays around Eid Al Fitr.

Prince Salman bin Hamad, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, issued a directive on Monday through an official circular which said this year's public holiday will continue for two days after Eid Al Fitr.

Work will resume on Thursday after the holiday. The statement says that May 1, or Labour Day, will be a public holiday for all government ministries and government-linked institutions in Bahrain.

The government this month said public spaces including cinemas, swimming pools, conference centres, gyms and other venues would be open to visitors effective from the end of Ramadan, provided they can show proof of vaccination or recovery from Covid-19 through the BeAware Bahrain app, and that they were 14 days past their second vaccination, the National Taskforce for Combating Coronavirus said.

Last year, Bahrainis enjoyed a slightly longer public holiday as Arafat Day fell on the July 18 and July 19, a day before Eid Al Fitr.

Prince Hamad has decreed that widows and orphans registered with the Royal Humanitarian Foundation will receive clothing for the celebration of Eid Al Fitr.

Five healthy carbs and how to eat them

Brown rice: consume an amount that fits in the palm of your hand

Non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli: consume raw or at low temperatures, and don’t reheat  

Oatmeal: look out for pure whole oat grains or kernels, which are locally grown and packaged; avoid those that have travelled from afar

Fruit: a medium bowl a day and no more, and never fruit juices

Lentils and lentil pasta: soak these well and cook them at a low temperature; refrain from eating highly processed pasta variants
