Introduction Tucked away in the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain may be a small island nation, but its cultural richness speaks volumes. Bahrain has roots that run deep in history. Its traditions have gracefully evolved into modern life. Bahrain offers a unique blend of old and new. The warmth of its people is inviting. The rhythm of its music is captivating. The aroma of its cuisine tantalizes the senses. Bahrain’s culture is an experience waiting to be explored.
1. A Tapestry of Heritage Bahrain’s cultural identity is shaped by its strategic position as a trading hub. For centuries, it has welcomed influences from Persia, India, Africa, and Europe. This diverse heritage is evident in its architecture. Its language is a fusion of Arabic dialects, spiced with Persian, English, and Hindi.
The ancient Dilmun civilization once flourished here. The legacy lives on in archaeological sites like the Bahrain Fort (Qal’at al-Bahrain). This site is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

2. The Heartbeat of Hospitality Bahrainis are known for their generous hospitality. It’s not uncommon for strangers to be welcomed with Arabic coffee (qahwa) and dates. The traditional majlis is a sitting room for receiving guests. It remains a core element in Bahraini homes. It symbolizes respect, storytelling, and community.
3. Music, Dance & the Arts The traditional music of Bahrain is especially notable. Fidjeri (sailor songs) pay tribute to the island’s pearl diving past. Instruments like the oud (a string instrument) and tabla (drum) are commonly used, creating soulful rhythms that echo across generations.
Bahrain also fosters a vibrant contemporary arts scene. The country hosts the annual Spring of Culture festival. It also boasts a growing number of art galleries. Bahrain is a hub for regional creatives.
4. The Taste of Bahrain Bahraini cuisine is a reflection of its multicultural heritage. Dishes such as machboos (spiced rice with meat) and muhammar (sweet rice served with fried fish) are loved by many. Harees (a wheat and meat dish) is also a beloved staple. The use of spices like saffron, cardamom, and cinnamon brings a fragrant warmth to every bite.
And let’s not forget the street food. You can find everything from shawarma stalls to fresh juices. Traditional sweets like halwa are also available. There’s always something flavorful to try.
Experience Authentic Bukhari Rice at Our Restaurant in Sitra, Bahrain
If you’re in Sitra, Bahrain, and craving a delicious, aromatic, and flavorful meal, look no further than our restaurant! We specialize in serving Bukhari Rice, a traditional Middle Eastern dish that’s loved by locals and tourists alike. It’s the perfect comfort food. It combines fragrant basmati rice with tender, marinated meat. Everything is cooked to perfection with a mix of spices.
In this blog post, we’ll share a little bit about the rich history of Bukhari Rice. We will provide a few recipes and cooking tips. We’ll also showcase why our version is a must-try.
Bukhari Rice
What is Bukhari Rice?
Bukhari Rice is a flavorful rice dish often served with lamb, chicken, or beef. It’s a staple of many Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The dish is traditionally prepared by cooking the rice with marinated meat. The meat is often seasoned with spices like cumin, cinnamon, and turmeric. The rich, aromatic flavors come together as the rice absorbs the meat’s juices during cooking.
At our restaurant, we take pride in our Bukhari Rice. We use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This creates a truly mouthwatering meal.

Bukhari Rice Recipe: How to Make It at Home
Chicken with bukhari rice
If you’d like to try making Bukhari Rice yourself, here’s a simple recipe to get you started.
Ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice
500g chicken (or lamb, beef, your choice)
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
3 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cups chicken stock (or water)
Salt and pepper to taste
A handful of raisins (optional, for sweetness)
A few slivers of almonds (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Rice: Wash the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it for about 20 minutes and set it aside.
Cook the Meat: In a large pot, heat the oil and sauté the onions and garlic until golden brown. Add the meat and cook it until browned on all sides. Add the chopped tomatoes, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Let the meat cook with the spices for about 10 minutes.
Simmer: Pour in the chicken stock (or water) and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and cover the pot. Let the meat simmer until tender. It takes about 45 minutes for chicken and longer for lamb or beef.
Cook the Rice: Add the soaked rice to the pot with the meat. Stir gently, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed. Cover and cook on low heat until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the flavors (about 20 minutes).
Final Touches: Optionally, toast the raisins and almonds in a small pan with a little oil. Scatter them over the rice before serving. This adds an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
“This isn’t just roasted chicken—it’s Sitra’s Sunday ritual. Samarkandi’s whole chicken emerges crackling-gold from the clay oven, skin glistening with cumin and cardamom. Served atop aromatic Bukhari rice studded with almonds, this is Bahraini comfort food that hugs you back.”
Serve the Bukhari Rice hot with a side of yogurt. You can also serve it with a fresh salad. Enjoy a meal that will take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey.

Tips for Cooking Perfect Bukhari Rice
Use Basmati Rice: For that signature fluffy texture and fragrant aroma, basmati rice is essential.
Soak the Rice: Always soak your rice for at least 20 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly. It also prevents it from becoming too sticky.
Perfectly Spiced: Don’t be afraid to adjust the spices to your preference. The key is balancing the cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric for that deep, warm flavor.
Don’t Skip the Meat Marinade: Marinate your chicken, lamb, or beef for a few hours with spices. This process will infuse it with maximum flavor. A simple marinade with garlic, cumin, and olive oil works wonders.
Simmer Slowly: The slow simmering of the meat is crucial. Let it absorb the flavors of the spices to create that rich, deep taste in your rice.
Optional Garnishes: For extra flavor and texture, garnish with fried almonds, raisins, or even crispy onions.
Why Our Bukhari Rice Stands Out
What makes our Bukhari Rice so special? We believe in delivering a meal that is rich in flavor. It is also crafted with love and attention to detail. Our chefs use only the best ingredients. We pride ourselves on providing an authentic experience. This experience transports you straight to the heart of the Middle East.
Whether you’re a local or visiting Bahrain, stop by our restaurant in Sitra. Try our signature Bukhari Rice. It’s a dish that promises to satisfy both your hunger and your craving for something deliciously different!

5. Faith and Festivities Islam plays a central role in daily life. You’ll hear the call to prayer echoing across cities, and Friday remains a sacred day for family and prayer. However, Bahrain is also known for its religious tolerance. It hosts diverse communities, including Christians, Hindus, and Jews, who worship freely.
Cultural celebrations like Eid, Ramadan, and National Day are major events, often accompanied by fireworks, performances, and community gatherings.
6. Modern Bahrain: Embracing Change While proud of its traditions, Bahrain is also forward-thinking. Bahrain was the first Gulf nation to discover oil. It was the first to host a Grand Prix. The nation is also among the first to empower women in politics and business. Skyscrapers rise beside traditional souqs. Luxury malls sit close to heritage sites. This is a symbol of how Bahrain balances modernity with cultural preservation.
When I visited Petra, I found that booking a guided day trip to Amman made everything much easier. If you’re planning something similar, this link has some great tour options you can explore.
Conclusion Bahrain isn’t just a destination — it’s a cultural mosaic where the past and present coexist in harmony. Whether you’re strolling through the alleys of Muharraq, sipping tea by the corniche, or watching a traditional dance at a village wedding, you’ll find yourself touched by the soul of Bahrain — warm, resilient, and timeless.

–Periodicity and relative periodicity Using GROUP BY and COUNT in Postgres, we can determine how often each category appears in a categorical field. In order to calculate the relative frequency, we will utilize a CTE to count all of the values in the rating column. We’ll utilize CTE because not all databases allow window functions. We’ll also go over how to use window functions to calculate relative frequency.–

–The count of values in the rating field is captured by a CTE in the example above. The percentage/relative frequency of each category in the rating field was then determined using it. We’ll explore a less complicated method of computing relative frequency utilizing window functions as Postgres supports them. The total number of values in the rating field is determined by adding the counts of ratings across each category, which we will do using the OVER() function.–

The regr_slope() function is used to calculate the slope of the linear regression line, which represents the average change in the dependent variable (“Density (per km²)”) for a unit change in the independent variable (“Area (km²)”).
The regr_intercept() function is used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear regression line, which represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.
The regr_r2() function is used to calculate the R-squared value of the linear regression model, which represents the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable.
It is important to note that this query will only work if the database you are querying has a table called “world_population” with columns called “Area (km²)” and “Density (per km²)”. It is also important to make sure that the data in these columns are numeric and appropriate for calculating a linear regression model.–

The entity-relationship (ER) diagram below, should help familiarize you with the design of the Yelp Dataset provided for this peer review activity.
Data Scientist Role Play: Profiling and Analyzing the Yelp Dataset Coursera Worksheet
This is a 2-part assignment. In the first part, you are asked a series of questions that will help you profile and understand the data just like a data scientist would. For this first part of the assignment, you will be assessed both on the correctness of your findings, as well as the code you used to arrive at your answer. You will be graded on how easy your code is to read, so remember to use proper formatting and comments where necessary.
In the second part of the assignment, you are asked to come up with your own inferences and analysis of the data for a particular research question you want to answer. You will be required to prepare the dataset for the analysis you choose to do. As with the first part, you will be graded, in part, on how easy your code is to read, so use proper formatting and comments to illustrate and communicate your intent as required.
For both parts of this assignment, use this “worksheet.” It provides all the questions you are being asked, and your job will be to transfer your answers and SQL coding where indicated into this worksheet so that your peers can review your work. You should be able to use any Text Editor (Windows Notepad, Apple TextEdit, Notepad ++, Sublime Text, etc.) to copy and paste your answers. If you are going to use Word or some other page layout application, just be careful to make sure your answers and code are lined appropriately. In this case, you may want to save as a PDF to ensure your formatting remains intact for you reviewer.
/* Are there any columns with null values in the Users table? Indicate “yes,” or “no.” Answer: “no”
SQL code used to arrive at answer:*/
SELECT id ,name ,review_count ,cool ,yelping_since ,useful ,funny ,fans ,average_stars FROM user WHERE id IS NULL OR name IS NULL OR review_count IS NULL ;
/*Please explain your findings and interpretation of the results:
Yes, but number three Harald does appear to be a significant anomaly. More “helpful” “cool” and “funny” reviews get more fans for the other users, but also in conjunction with the review count and length of time they have been yelping
Part 2: Inferences and Analysis
Pick one city and category of your choice and group the businesses in that city or category by their overall star rating. Compare the businesses with 2-3 stars to the businesses with 4-5 stars and answer the following questions. Include your code.
i. Do the two groups you chose to analyze have a different distribution of hours?
The 4-5 star group seems to have shorter hours then the 2-3 star group. Please note the query returned only three businesses so not a great sample size.
ii. Do the two groups you chose to analyze have a different number of reviews?
Yes and no, one of the 4-5 star group has a lot more reviews but then the other 4-5 star group has close to the same number of reviews as the 2-3 star group
iii. Are you able to infer anything from the location data provided between these two groups? Explain.
No, every business is in a different zip-code.
SQL code used for analysis:
SELECT business_id ,category FROM category GROUP BY category ORDER BY category=’%shopping%’;
Group business based on the ones that are open and the ones that are closed. What differences can you find between the ones that are still open and the ones that are closed? List at least two differences and the SQL code you used to arrive at your answer.
i. Difference 1:
The businesses that are open tend to have more reviews than ones that are closed on average.
Answer review count 35261 < 269300 so The businesses that are open tend to have more reviews
For this last part of your analysis, you are going to choose the type of analysis you want to conduct on the Yelp dataset and are going to prepare the data for analysis.
Ideas for analysis include: Parsing out keywords and business attributes for sentiment analysis, clustering businesses to find commonalities or anomalies between them, predicting the overall star rating for a business, predicting the number of fans a user will have, and so on. These are just a few examples to get you started, so feel free to be creative and come up with your own problem you want to solve. Provide answers, in-line, to all of the following:
i. Indicate the type of analysis you chose to do:
Predicting whether a business will stay open or close. We wish not to explicitly examine the text of the reviews, but this would be an interesting analysis.
ii. Write 1-2 brief paragraphs on the type of data you will need for your analysis and why you chose that data:
To better help businesses understand the importance of different factors which will help their business stay open. Some data that may be important; number of reviews, star rating of business, hours open, and of course location location location. We will gather the latitude and longitude as well as city, state, postal_code, and address to make processing easier later on. Categories and attributes will be used to better distinguish between different types of businesses. is_open will determine which business is open and which business have closed (not hours) but permanently.
iii. Output of your finished dataset:
SELECT id ,is_open ,stars ,review_count FROM business GROUP BY review_count ORDER BY review_count DESC LIMIT 20 ;
This week’s dataset involved deep diving into penguin habits to understand their body mass and other aspects:
The Palmer Penguins is a dataset constructed by Dr. Kirsten Gorman and relates to the structural size measurements of 3 species of penguins: adult, male and female Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins. The data was collected at Palmer station Antarctica LTER between the period 2007-09. For each species, 4 structural size measurements were collected: bill length, bill depth, flipper length, and body mass. In total 344 samples were collected (however 2 samples have missing structural size measurements).
The data on the 3 different species of Penguins was collected from 3 islands in the Palmer archipelago in Antarctica. These islands are the Dream island, Torgerson island and Biscoe island
Of all the Palmer penguins, Gentoos are the largest. The second is Chinstrap and the last is Adelie.
Adelie species of Torgersen Island penguin’s male and female have negligible differentiation in body mass, flipper length, culmen depth, and culmen length
