elcome to the July issue – containing a very special ‘USA in Bahrain’ supplement, officially
endorsed by the US Embassy in Bahrain, which we publish as an ongoing tribute to the special
relationship that exists between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United States of America.
In the interview section this month, we spoke to renowned Bahraini musician, Mai Alqasim, who
told us about her battle to stay alive. She talks about her painful journey and how it inspired the
release of an original sound track, aside from a beautiful rendition of Heal the World, for which she
collaborated with several talented local and Bahrain-based musicians.
For the USA in Bahrain segment, we had a very insightful chat with Chargé d’affaires at the US
Embassy in Bahrain, Margaret Nardi, who has witnessed some trailblazing developments in relations
between the two nations since her arrival. In addition, President of the American Chamber of
Commerce in Bahrain (AmCham Bahrain), Qays Zu’bi, touched on US-Bahrain relations, the benefits
of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and more. The Executive Director of AmCham Bahrain, Mary
McGinnis, on the other hand, highlighted the many benefits of being a member of AmCham and how
the organisation has grown over time.
In our dining section, we present you with a selection of our favourite eateries across the island
that serve the finest of American cuisine. Don’t blame us if some are missing; everyone was given a
chance to participate!
