Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air recently hosted its annual Ramadan gathering for members of the media in Riyadh.
The “ghabga” was attended by Shaikh Hmood bin Abdullah Al-Khalifa, ambassador of Bahrain to Saudi Arabia, and media representatives from various Saudi publications.
A detailed presentation about the airline’s latest developments was delivered by Gulf Air Deputy Chief Executive Officer Captain Waleed Abdulhameed Al-Alawi. A raffle draw was held, in which guests won airline tickets as prizes.
“Ghabga” is a Ramadan custom in many parts of the Arab world. It is a get-together usually with family, friends and neighbors, taking place from around 10:30 p.m. to midnight or even later and there is always food. Many companies and corporate houses host “ghabga” evenings for their employees and invitees to socialize.
