[updated 5.9.15] I wanted to know what blogs are still being published in Bahrain and I went searching. I found eleven, other than this one. There must be more, surely. In 2006 when I was aggregating all the blogs I remember that the list exceeded 200 at one point. That number has crashed to eleven which are mainly concerned with lifestyle. Food and fashion is the top earner it seems. I remember MyBahrain.MEÂ did a feature on the blogging scene last year with the ladies appearing in the picture above which offered a glimpse of the current blogging scene.
I’m very happy for their success of course and wish them a lot of luck, but am I missing something here? Aren’t there any other Bahraini blogs? If you know of any please contribute. I’d like an updated list to help nurture blogging in Bahrain again.
Here are the ones I found so far:
- [Lifestyle] Blonde in Bahrain
- [Food] Food and Tools
- [Food] The Slice of My Lyfe
- [Travel & Photography] Not just a Photo
- Rasha Yousif (portfolio site)
- [Food] Restless in Riffa
- [General] Rantings by Nouf
- [Fashion] Mara Mustafa
- [Tech] Waleed’s Tipnology
- [Tech] A7maDev’s Home
- [Fitness] Nerve Bullet
- [Photography] Lifeommentory
Know of any to be added to this illustrious list? Please enter the details in a comment below.

You missed us! We’re two sisters one in Bahrain & one in Pakistan so we write about both places alot of food and beauty related posts! Do check our blog out! 😀
Thanks Syedas!
I’m blogging In Bahrain in a couple of places – time-wellspent.com and brutallyhonestbahrain.com – both newish, but blogging!
Thanks Jaina. Please let me know of any other blogs you know of so I can compile a more comprehensive list.
A bird chirps far more exotically in the wild than behind the bars of a cage…
Yes. There is no questioning that fact. Still, one learns from how journalists allude to things and effect a response, if not change. Maybe a language change might encourage some. Not an ideal situation, but one that might be conducive to chirping without having to suffer a life in a cage?
Hi Mahmood! I am blogging in Bahrain…I have a food blog 🙂 http://aseasyasapplepie.com
Thank you Elena!
Hi Mahmood,
Thank you for including me in your hall of fame 🙂 At the moment I can only think of two others, fashion blog http://www.trestouline.com and a lifestyle/food blogger across the water http://www.ohmytash.com who blogs about Bahrain on her visits.
Thanks Moyà . Will add them.
Nice post, we always tried to search for bloggers in Bahrain and it was very difficult. hope that there are something like a bloggers community with different activities, or a website such as http://lebaneseblogs.com
anyhow, this is our blog http://www.dilmunicouple.com (Dilmuni Couple | Hussain & Mariam) related to culture, travel, and photography
I used to have http://bahrainblogs.net but unfortunately the government blocked it. I tried to find out who’s responsible to appeal to no avail.
I’ll add your site now.
Mahmood, I’ll submit my baby blog http://www.debbiemovestobahrain.com as well as one of my favorite food bloggers, http://foodandtools.com/ Moya has an eye for photography. There’s another newbie, a recent expat to our island, http://lifemeant.com/…. she’s got a writing style that I enjoy. Thanks for curating!
Thanks Debbie, will add those. Moya’s blog is already listed.
