Gulf Weekly Time to discover the American connection

A series of events, activities and promotions are being featured across the kingdom as part of the Discover America Week 2018 celebrations.

The festivities, which continue until tomorrow, are being organised to highlight the relationship between the two countries, in particular American commerce and culture including food, leisure, shopping, sport and tourism.

Newly-appointed US ambassador Justin Siberell said: “Discover America is a great opportunity for Bahrainis to learn about and take advantage of some of those world-class American products and services.

“This year’s programming underscores the enduring presence of a number of U.S. companies and brands in Bahrain, as well as the incredible variety of new entrants into this market.”

In recent days the ambassador has visited West Point Homes’ three production plants in Askar to highlight the success story of the company’s investments in Bahrain under the U.S.-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

He also visited shopping malls and attended the Al Hawaj Group’s official launch of its Samsonite store at City Centre Bahrain which stocks US luggage and travel gear, briefcases, duffles, backpacks and accessories. The week wraps-up with food and country music at Big Texas Barbecue and Waffle House.
