National Days provides all of us - citizens and residents - an opportunity to rejoice and immerse in everything Bahrain.
But then we do it normally swimming with the tide! However, it emerges, there are some others who love to go that extra mile, take that extra effort to get fully immersed and experience a whole lot of Bahraini culture and heritage.
Bahraini Ahmed Abdul Rahman and Saeed Al Maamari of the United Arab Emirates are two such people.
They laced up their shoes and hit the ground to get closer to people and Kingdom as celebrations reached fever pitch across the Kingdom for National Days.
They went on an expedition around the Kingdom on foot, which they said provided them with an ultimate opportunity to soak in the surroundings.
They started their journey by walking to Durrat Al Bahrain, the third largest artificial island in Bahrain after Northern City and Diyar Al Muharraq Islands, covering a distance of 68 kilometres, extending their warmest congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
“Our initiative aims to feel patriotism and create a beautiful atmosphere on National Days,” said Ahmed Abdulrahman Mohammed. “It was a 10-hour walk from Amwaj Islands to the heritage village, which included stops for prayer, food and a short rest,” Saeed Al Maamari said:” I am honoured to share the joy of our brothers in the Kingdom through the walking initiative.”
“Through our initiative, we like to communicate the love of the sons of Zayed to the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
“Our initiative also reflects the depth of the ties that unite the two countries at various levels and the care and attention this relationship enjoys from the leaders of the two Kingdoms.”
“We will stop our journey in Durrat Al Bahrain,” they said.
