Mohamed Slaise, Manager of Al Dar Islands, gave us a call some time ago, and my my, weren’t we thrilled… Can you see where this is going? Well let me take you there!

On Saturday January 17th, a group of Elham Photographers set sail with Al Dar Management, to visit a few Bahraini Islands, and experience what naturally habitats our Secretive Eden.  While we had captured Mohamed Slaise’s interest and imagination (hence the invitation), he has captured us with wonder and awe! He had promised and he had delivered, the Winter Month of January is indeed a wonderful time to witness the flocks of migrating birds and dolphins leaping out of the water, teasing us to almost dive right back in with them. Our photographers braved the high seas armed with cameras, thrilled, nay RAPTUROUS! Photographers could barely catch their breath, trying to take it all through their lens! We caught oysters, and saw baby sharks released back into the ocean by fisher dhow-men!

It was a long, shutter opening and flickering day; and while we give you only a teaser of it here, we thank Mohamed Slaise for this opportunity and hope that our photographs (all to be given to Al Dar Management) will form a fantastic image library for them! As for you Elhamers, we promise photography, film, poetry and more, inspired from the trip to Al Dar Islands on a special occasion in March. Look out for it…it might just be at Al Dar!!

Also look out for our exclusive interview with Al Dar Manager Mohamed Slaise for our February Newsletter, where we will also showcase which photographs made it on Al Dar Postcards!!!
