The best burger in bahrain!

Elevation Burger is the best tasting burger I had in Bahrain and its actually GOOD FOR YOU! Elevation Burger serves premium 100% organic burgers made from grass-fed beef and fresh-cut fries cooked in heart-healthy olive oil.

They have a concept of "not all fast food should be junk food"

If youre on a diet or just dont want to feel guilty of eating chemicalized burgers from other fast food chains, I highly recommend the choice of elevation burger!

Once you start you won't be able to stop! Just typing about it makes me drool!

Elevation burger is located in seef new extention.  The price is a bit higher than other fast food chains but it is worth it! Why eat chemicals when you can have a yummy, juicy, organic burger thats better for you?

Try it out and make it youre cheat meal from now and then, I LOVE ELEVATION BURGER ITS MY FAVORITE CHOICE when it comes to fast food.

The New York Coffee – The Walk Branch


I got to know about the NYC’s the walk branch through a pamphlet that came to my house. Being a regular customer of the NYC Hamala,I was naturally very excited  to visit this branch for this was near to my house and it got opened up in a place which beholds a worthy reputation. I am glad to say that I wasn’t disappointed. This NYC branch was everything that I had expected and much more. From its interior (Which is splendid) to its services, everything about the place doesn’t disappoint you. They added a whole new line of food and tried to combine your typical coffee shop with a restaurant of good standard. If I was to pick my most favorite drink, it’d be "Kona Mocha Frappe"

Ever since I have visited, I have been a regular customer. I would recommend this place to whoever wants to have a good time.The best part of this place is that they are having offers for every single day.They have special offers for weekends and the prices are not as high as one would expect after looking at the location and the interior of the place from outside

The New York Coffee-The Walk Riffa branch is 24 Hours. This is one great thing about such an amazing place to sit,relax and study for those who love to study late night at coffee shops. Mostly their customers are university students at midnight time. I personally recommend "NYC" as i study there too.

So If You want to experience something amazing this week.. Go Visit the NYC-The Walk Branch.

Avène Very High Protection Cream SPF 50+



A Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare items that everyone should own. No matter whether you're a male or female, what's your skin type or skin tone; sunscreen is a must-have product especially in Bahrain's super hot and humid weather!

· What is a sunscreen?
A sunscreen or sun block: "is a lotion, gel, or spray that reflects the sun's Ultraviolet radiation on the skin exposed to sunlight and thus helps protect against sunburns."

· Why do you need a sunscreen?
You might think that all those years you've never tried sunscreen because you don't need it at all and nothing seems wrong. However, the side effects of not using sunscreen everyday are huge but going to be noticeable only in the long-run. Sunscreen protects the skin from discoloration or sun burns. And perhaps the biggest advantage of sunscreen that it is proved to slows the aging process for women and fines the wrinkles as well as it helps prevent two types of skin cancer.

· Does it need to be expensive to be good?
When It comes to skincare products, they don't need to be from high-end brands in order to be effective. The main thing I look for when I shop for a skincare item is whether it's gentle on the skin or not.

· Why Avène sunscreen?
I've tried many sunscreens out there in the market from different brands, such as Bioderma, Neutrogena, and Nevia, and QV. Some of them worked just fine, and some of them irritated my skin and left a white cast on my face because of the high SPF. Among all the list I've tried, Avène sunscreen was my superhero product that became to me an everyday essential!

Avène sunscreen is a water resistant lotion that has an SPF50+ which is very good for Bahrain's climate, and contains both UVA and UVA protection. It does not make your face greasy at all and feels so soft on the skin. Also, it works perfect as a primer for your makeup!

The packaging looks fresh and nice, it's small so you can through it in your bag easily and reapply every two or four hours. You can find it in all pharmacies in Bahrain for BD12, I got mine from Boots Pharmacy and it definitely worth the price!

· How do i rate this product?
5.0/5.0 

*Tip: You have to make sure that your sunscreen has at least SPF20+ and contains both UVA and UVB to provide you with the full protection!

Words..Bookstorecafe My Secret Place

Pic 1: Picture of the place from outside

Words Bookstorecafe in Palm Square (Budaiya Avenue) is a mix of amazing ideas in one place, it's a bookstore and cafe at the same time. Also, it's suitable for students and business people to study or meet there because of calm environment.

It's a bank of knowledge for interested people, I had been visit this wonderful place once before in Feb. in current year 2014 and until now I go there each week two to three times because I like it so much. I go there to study and drink their coffee (there prices range between 1 BD to 1.900 BD which is cheaper comparing to the special taste and delicious cakes), it's a small space with suitable lights and air atmosphere and they have two floors, the first floor for magazines and cookbooks,in addition to cafe and tables indoor and outdoor. They provide in the upstairs more sections of books (novels for all ages, travel, business, body and mind,art,fashion,..etc) and the important thing that they make categorized section especially for children. Their prices of books around 4 BD to 20 BD which is seem good for books that are available at any time.However, I saw some customers ordered books out of stock or new and they bring these books for them but they took long period because they purchase big quantity not single book.

Anyway,when I go there I feel convenience and ready to study, because they have so calm and nice place.Also, they have a best deal with their customers. If you search for a place to read or study or even meet and drink coffee in a quite place, I encourage you to visit Words..Bookstorecafe and believe me you will feel relax and you will find what you are looking for, especially novel obsession people and book readers, but note that in the weekends it is so busy and crowded so I advise you to go at the rest of days.

It's located in Palm Square (Budaiya Avenue) beside NBB in Jannusan,

Burger King ( on the mood you are )


Yesterday I went to the " Amwaj park"  to Breathe fresh air and to study there, and i arrived at two o'clock noon, every time I go to pizza restaurants for lunch because I love pizza so much, but this time I went to a fast food restaurant is a Burger King.

I ordered a King Chicken fillet meal , irresistible taste and contain slice chicken fillet, 5 bread, mayonnaise and lettuce Ice Berg. 


Location:  There are a lot of branches in the Kingdom of Bahrain and around the world (such as Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates).

The restaurant features: Fast in providing meals, not to delay in the delivery of the order, and also a photo image of the meal same as a photo in the menu .

Service:  Above excellent, service has been fast and provide hot meal within 5 minutes !

Price:  Very expensive, the price of my meal is about 3 dinars.

Style of restaurant:  Clean and gorgeous and beautiful Style.


I liked the phrase written on the front door of the restaurant which is (On the mood you are) and means (ie that have multiple choices) and customization according to the selections personal (I get what I want exactly) and convenience with an individual's personality (it unique for me and reflect about me) making customers feel possessing the right choice.
