Bahraini Ghabga is Popular during the month of Ramadan

Ramadan is a month of many things, one of them being social gathering. One of the main occasions for social gatherings in countries like Bahrain and Kuwait is the Ghabga. Basically it is a bit like a dinner invitation as it is a meal to which people are invited that takes place after Iftar (after the break of the fast).

People usually dress up in national dress and on many an occasion Ghabga’s turn into mini-fashion shows. Whilst some people go overboard with these things and send out personalized invitations like those for wedding, it doesn’t have to be.
