Amidst the special atmosphere of the Holy Month of Ramadan and the rich heritage of Muharraq, the cultural program "Gathering at the Pearling Path" was launched on Monday evening at the Pearling Path Visitor and Experience Centre, attracting a large number of visitors and families.

The workshops will host a variety of activities for audiences of all ages, such as making Quran bookmarks, creating Ramadan-inspired collages, crafting decorations and Gergaoon bags, painting crescent moons, and designing Islamic mosaic patterns.
Visitors can also enjoy an array of culinary experiences, featuring popular traditional dishes often enjoyed during the holy month. Activities will extend beyond the Visitor Centre, with several cultural activation sites hosting some of Bahrain’s leading cafés and restaurants, including Dar Amana, Bait Nasser, and Higher Grounds, among others.
As part of the accompanying events, the Haneen Sedra exhibition will be open daily throughout the program, from 10 AM to 3 PM and from 8:30 PM to 12:30 AM, showcasing a diverse collection of rare and vintage artefacts. While Amarat Fakhro will host the Muharraq Auction on Thursday, 13 March, from 9 PM to 12 AM.
