Personal Life



I'm married and have got four wonderful kids, two boys, Abdulla and Salman and two girls, Fatima and Mariam. I live with my family in nice house in one of the cities neighbouring the capital called Sihla. I have a very close relationship with my family. During school days, we only go to Dad's house in the week-end, but in the holidays, you'd find us there day and night, poor unfortunate dad : )
I have four sisters and one brother; thanks to mum, we were brought up to be very loving and always in touch. My dad is an Assistant Professor at Bahrain University. He also did his MA and Ph.D at Warwick, which is why I chose that uni. He's the best person in my whole life and I look up to him in every thing I do.
My husband is also a university graduate. He works at the Ministry of Electricity and Water and is a very loving and caring man. Poor thing, I left him with the four kids for a whole year where he had to do all the mothering for me ; ) I owe him and my family my success.

The first is a picture of the kids at a festival wearing Bahraini traditional costumes. The second picture is of my niece (Nora)... gorgeous, isn't she :)

What gorgeous expressive eyes your children and niece have. Lovely to see the female colours of the traditional clothes, do boys always wear white?

Boys here wear trousers, shirts, T-shirts and shorts. This is only on a festival which is celebrated in Ramadan or on Eid Day to have this traditional feeling and to make them look like adults. It's called a "thobe". However, it is more commonly worn by men. In the summer, they wear white thobes made in light material to suit the burning weather of Bahrain, but in winter, other colours are used with heavier material.
