“Traveling — it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller.”*

I must admit to knowing little to nothing about Bahrain before visiting. And then having been there, I had so much to process before beginning to write this piece. In fact, I was a bit ‘stuck’.

So I started again. I closed my eyes and recalled how this island actually made me feel, the sights, sounds, smells, colours and the first thing that came to mind was warmth. If Bahrain was a colour it would be a perfectly peachy pink, the buildings, the desert and the sunsets all radiating this wonderfully warm and glowing hue.

Said warmth also radiated massively from the people that I met along the way. Wherever I went, I was met with smiles and genuine friendliness. But, of course, there was more to Bahrain than that.

Travelling in style with Gulf Air

It’s easy to say the journey is the destination but it definitely felt that way as I turned left on the airplane, for the very first time in my life feeling like a fully blown A lister. Treated to business class, I sipped chilled champagne and slid into my complimentary pj’s (like a second skin on my curvaceous frame but super comfy nonetheless!). I quickly got to grips with all the various buttons and switches in my pod and adjusted the seat to a fully flat bed. Goodnight!

The service from the Gulf Air cabin crew was extremely efficient yet personal and friendly. I was actually a little sad when the plane landed after the 6 hour flight and I had to leave my little luxury den. The problem now though is I’ve been spoilt for life as regular economy will never be the same!

Leaving a very cold dark and wet morning in Manchester it was lovely to be greeted with a wonderful waft of warm Arabian air as I left the cleanest, most pristine airport I had ever seen. It certainly deserves its certified 5 star status for comfort and cleanliness.

Winter sun

When I had previously googled “winter sun holidays”? Bahrain was not somewhere that had come up on my searches. The usual suspects are either the Canary Islands or Dubai. So with Bahrain never being on my radar until now, I was excited to find out what this country had to offer and to see if it could compare and compete with these other popular winter sun locations.

The climate is certainly a winner. Bahrain only has two seasons – summer runs from May to October with temperatures often exceeding 40 ° C during the day. Winter is a little cooler, from November to April the average daily temperature is between 20 and 25 ° C. That said, when I visited in November the temperature reached 30-32 degrees.

Shop till you drop in Bahrain’s souks

It’s no secret that I love to shop! However on this occasion I decided to swerve the commercial malls in favour of the traditional souk. I absolutely love a market – they tell the real story of a place and the souks of Bab al Bahrain are no different.

If gold is your thing then you will literally be in your element here. Shop after shop selling pretty gold jewellery, often inlaid with the famous Bahraini pearls. In fact, in 2012 UNESCO declared the Bahraini pearl beds a world heritage site, I was fascinated to learn that natural pearls are made when a foreign object like a grain of sand enters the oyster and is coated in a luminous material thus forming a pearl!

My tour guide showed me a little pouch containing pearls he had found during his scuba diving exploits over the years. Some were the size of a pea and others no bigger than a pin head. He told me that he once opened an oyster and found nine pearls! With natural pearls occurring in only 1 in 10,000 oysters this was a real find.

if you love perfume then the souk is the place for you. Many of the perfume shops are packed to the rafters with oils, perfumes, oud and musk all kept in beautifully intricate glass bottles. In one shop I asked if I could blend my own perfume. I chose amber, rose and oud which was poured and mixed for me. I indulged in plenty of smelling and sniffing along the way! I paid 10 Bahrain Dinah for a bottle of perfumed oil (about £22) and a tenth of the price of my regular perfume Portrait of a Lady by Frederick Malle. Every time I wear it I will be reminded of my trip. The souks also have rows and rows of tailors and fabric shops selling silks, satins, velvet and trims as well as an array of spices, dates, pottery and handicrafts.

The disappearing island

Somewhere in the middle of the ocean after a particularly fast and exciting speedboat ride, an island of pure white sand appeared like a beacon in the distance. Comprising of a strip of bright white sand 25 foot wide and it struck me just how magical this place is. When I first heard about this disappearing island I thought it was something to do with climate change, but it’s actually a tidal Island which means that it appears and disappears at certain times of the day.

We ate a delicious bbq of steak and lamb chops and as I took my last bite it was time to head back. It was timely because the island was reducing quickly now and there was only another 20 minutes before it would be completely submerged. It would re-appear for another boat load of people to enjoy tomorrow.

Vida Beach Resort Marassi Al Bahrain

It was during a balmy evening swim in the resort’s stunning infinity pool, with the twinkle of fairy lights glistening on the water, that I started to wish I was staying longer in this paradise. Having the entire pool to myself, I had a rare moment of serenity and a happy relaxed feeling washed over me.

The Vida beach resort hotel is a new and luxurious hotel perfectly positioned on its own private beach, complete with said infinity pool and tasteful opulent interiors. Sun loungers are aplenty and there’s a nice relaxed feel where nothing was too much trouble. It’s definitely a place to unwind and rejuvenate in unpretentious luxury.

The Address Hotel

The Address hotel is brand new. It’s beautifully designed and incredibly luxe. The rooms and suites are all spacious and impeccably designed.

The Address Beach Resort Bahrain features an outdoor pool for adults and a dedicated kids’ Splash Pad, adorned with landscaped gardens and tempting lounging areas with private cabanas.

It also boasts an amazing infinity pool with skyline views. When I say the beach is pristine, it was the most perfectly manicured beach I’ve ever walked on, white sand that is raked every day.

There is also a brand spanking new 200,000 sqm shopping mall called the Marassi Galleria which will open between the two hotels later this year housing some of the world’s top retailers.

Jumeirah Hotel

Pulling up to the Jumeirah hotel is a bit like driving through the dessert and stumbling upon Las Vegas. The hotel is immense. It is huge, super luxe and virtually on its own. It’s a holiday destination in itself with huge swimming pools, a wide variety of restaurants and bars, perfect if you just want to relax in one place with everything you need on hand.

The hotel was at full capacity when I visited and yet because of the size it felt perfectly quiet. No mad rush for a sunlounger here!

No visit to the city of lights is complete without a night at the original Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris. Rewinding back to 1889, the club was the scene of Bohemian, Belle Epoque Paris, where artists converged to produce and attend colourful and avant-garde performances. Fast forward to today, the outstanding show continues with people gathering from all over the world to grab a seat.

From the offset, I was wowed at how amazing the Moulin Rouge was, imagine bright lights, glitz and glam, and Parisian culture. I hadn’t made it inside yet, and I was stunned at the picturesque building beaming with a seductive red glow. Followed by the red carpet-style stairs that made you feel like all eyes were on you.

Sat by the stage, the Parisian culture and lustrous theme were dominant throughout the interior. Surrounded by table lamps, classic gold decor, and champagne bottles.

As the show begins, I’m taken aback by the spectacular fanfare and beautiful dancing. One thing that catches my eye is the barely-there outfits of the female dancers, dressed with nothing to the imagination including multi-coloured pants encrusted in rhinestones, matching nipple tassels, pink feather boas, and thigh-high leather boots – WOW! The male dancers are dressed head to toe in sparkly silver suits adding to the glam factor. Each dancer makes between 10 and 15 costume changes per show, and each design is utterly beautiful.

The initial semi-nudity of the female dancers sets the tone for the entire show along with the European music and French lyrics. Each routine has a theme, with a combination of slow contemporary dancing to circus-like acrobatics, and of course, the iconic can-can dance. The performer’s moves, are certainly impressive, bringing rhythm and precision, I was lost for words at the outstanding performances.

The faultless choreography traces various periods in history, whirling us through the Mayans to the Egyptians to the 1940s, complete with swing dancers – all presented in a vibrant display of colourful costumes and upbeat music.

Halfway through, the show presents intimate and intense moments that made me feel all types of emotions. The stage gives way to a tank of water, and a female performer swims with snakes to deep, upbeat music. Followed by an ice skating duet which was simply stunning and bought tears to my eyes.

The larger-than-life finale is distinguished by typical fury pink costumes, as you would imagine. Each dancer joins together to perform the historic can-can dance, as the high kicks immerse in a sea of tricolour.

An absolutely spectacular performance awarded with a standing ovation from the crowd.

Cybersecurity is important wherever and whenever you go. This isn’t something you can leave at home and dive deep into your vocation without worries. The reality highlights that you must always be ready to keep things under control and follow every security tip without any buts.

Long story short, even if you leave your laptop or PC at home and go somewhere only without your phone, then your devices will still be vulnerable to cyber issues. The point is your gadgets are connected so all information requires proper protection. So make sure your personal data is well-protected and follow these expert cybersecurity tips starting from making a checklist to picking a VPN for traveling.

Step #1. Get ready for your trip

Before you leave your home you need to make basic preparations. First of all, you want to protect your sensitive information from strangers, for instance, date of birth, name, social security number, etc. The pre-step to making it is to decide which devices you should take with you and which you should leave at home. The best you can do is to take just one personal gadget, so you can work on its protection properly.

Basic traveler security includes the following steps:

– create your to-do list before you go and complete them step-by-step;

– make back-ups of your data and store them on a secure medium;

– get rid of the sensitive information you don’t need during your trip;

– add strong passwords to your apps and the device in general;

– install essential software, for instance, antivirus, VPN free trial, etc.

Also, use the ‘find my phone‘ feature. No one knows what may happen during your trip. It is so easy to lose your phone in new places or to face criminals. So turn on this useful feature to maximize your chances to take your property back no matter the risk.

Well, these steps must be done even if you don’t plan to travel, in particular using appropriate antivirus and VPN services like VeePN. So keep in mind to control your security without waiting for possible issues. It’s always better to prevent such threats instead of dealing with the consequences of the problem.

Step #2. Follow expert security tips daily

The first thing you should understand – is that your cybersecurity is a process. It means you need to keep following proper tips daily to reach safe traveling. Otherwise, any action for the record would be worthless and useless.

So here are the most essential security tips to follow all the time:

– manage your location online. Pro VPN services like VeePN allow you to change your current location and access the content you need. Even if there are some geo-restrictions in the country you wouldn’t be influenced by them;

– connect to a secure network. Public Wi-Fi may be dangerous for your security because it simplifies the path to your files. By using a Colombia VPN you may protect your connection easily. It encrypts your data and hides your real IP;

– think about what and when you post on the Internet. Traveling excites us and makes us want to share our excitement with others. But if you post a picture of you somewhere far away from home you may notify criminals your place is free. So consider posting direct facts about your absence and current location;

– turn off the auto connection. You don’t need Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to work all the time. On the one hand, these wireless technologies drain your battery faster. On the other hand, your device will try to reconnect to any visible network without your permission.

Remember that all these tips will be much more efficient if you follow them regularly. For instance, turn on the VPN every time you connect to the Wi-Fi. If you skip this step once, it may cause tons of issues and make you regret ignoring this piece of advice.

Step #3. Pay attention to extra recommendations

If you have completed all the recommendations including finding a reliable VPN free trial, then don’t get relaxed. Your trip starts now and you should be ready for everything. So here are several additional tips for travelers to follow daily:

– keep your gadget at hand all the time when you are at a public place, for instance, in the airport, train station, restaurant, and so on. These places are known for the large concentration of people so the risk of human factor increases;

– protect your phone screen from strangers. When you are using your personal device you may accidentally reveal your banking details, passwords, and other information. So it’s better to make sure no one follows you and stares at your screen;

– after you come back home you should check your devices. They may be compromised because of insecure connections or software, so it’s better to update your security apps and passwords.

Conclusion

As you can see, you need a lot of things before you go on a trip. Finding VPN for traveling and installing antivirus are as important as packing your stuff. So pay enough attention to your cybersecurity to make your trip comfortable, safe, and joyful!
