Labour Crackdown Intensifies
TDT | Manama Bahrain has intensified its nationwide crackdown on illegal workers and businesses, with the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) confirming 1,132 inspection campaigns and visits conducted between July 13th and 19th. The week-long operation led to the detention of 12 irregular workers and the deportation of 89 others, according to an LMRA statement. The LMRA said that 1,117 inspection visits targeted commercial outlets across all governorates, while 15 joint campaigns were conducted in coordination with several ministries and security authorities. Among these were one campaign in the Capital Governorate, six in Muharraq, four in the Northern Governorate, and four in the Southern Governorate. Participating agencies included the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA), the Coast Guard Headquarters, the General Directorate of Civil Defense, and various municipal and economic departments. These included the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, and the Social Insurance Organisation. The coordinated inspections uncovered multiple violations related to Bahrain's Labour Market Regulatory and Residency Laws, prompting legal action in each case. The LMRA reaffirmed that such campaigns are part of an ongoing strategy to maintain labour market stability and competitiveness, while protecting Bahrain's economic and social security.

Seef Mall reimagines future
TDT | Manama Seef Properties has announced a bold relaunch plan for Seef Mall in the Seef District, aiming to reimagine the Kingdom's oldest mall for a new generation. Over the next two years, the destination will undergo a phased transformation blending retail, entertainment, and lifestyle spaces under a modern, climate-aligned vision. The redevelopment begins with a facelift to the jewellery section to match Bahrain's growing appetite for luxury. Global fashion brand Kiabi, making its debut in the country, will be among several new international names setting up shop at the mall. Family and fun A major draw will be the revival of Magic Island, now reborn with over 3,900 square metres of themed fun and 600 square metres dedicated to immersive games for children. A separate 2,500-square-metre youth zone will offer creative and recreational programming tailored to the tastes of Gen Z and families alike. Dining, too, is getting a makeover, with indoor-outdoor concepts designed to enhance the visitor experience. Upgraded parking and green spaces, including shaded walkways and family gathering zones, aim to improve access and comfort. Sustainability push More than a cosmetic overhaul, the redevelopment embeds climate goals into its core. Energy- and water-saving technologies will be introduced to cut the mall's carbon footprint, supporting Bahrain's 2060 net-zero ambition. 'This strategic redevelopment reflects our long-term vision,' said Ahmed Yusuf, CEO of Seef Properties, noting the project's alignment with both market trends and national economic development. Future focus Seef Mall, which pioneered integrated shopping and entertainment in Bahrain, now seeks to redefine what it means to be a destination in a post-pandemic, eco-conscious era. As retail pivots toward immersive and sustainable experiences, this makeover positions Seef Mall to remain at the forefront of the region's evolving consumer landscape.

Bahrain gets exclusive Arabic Jewellery brand as Malabar expands retail concept
TDT | Manama Bahrain has been chosen as one of only two Gulf countries to host two showrooms of a new jewellery brand dedicated exclusively to Arabic designs, following a regional rollout by Malabar Gold & Diamonds. The new concept, branded 'Mojawhraty by Malabar', was launched across six locations in the GCC, with outlets in Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Bahrain now hosts two branches, at Bahrain City Centre and Bab Al Bahrain, making it a key destination in Malabar's regional strategy to serve Arab consumers. Cultural identity The initiative marks a significant shift in the retail giant's strategy, as it moves beyond general collections to offer a niche brand focused entirely on Arabic jewellery traditions. The designs available under the Mojawhraty brand are crafted in 18K, 21K, and 22K gold, and also feature certified natural diamonds. Malabar Group Chairman M.P. Ahammad said the concept was part of the company's larger goal of becoming the top global jewellery retailer. 'Expanding our design portfolio across diverse cultural and value chains is a key focus. With six showrooms across the GCC and more on the horizon, we are confident that Mojawhraty by Malabar will be welcomed with open arms by jewellery lovers in the region,' he said. Arab appeal According to Malabar officials, the new format aims to reflect the preferences of modern Arab consumers while staying rooted in heritage. 'The rich legacy of Arabic jewellery and its profound cultural relevance has long inspired us,' said Abdul Salam K.P., Vice Chairman of Malabar Group. 'With Mojawhraty, we have created a distinct platform that will offer customers an immersive and personalised retail experience focused exclusively on Arabic design traditions.' Each piece is backed by the 'Mojawhraty Promise', which includes benefits such as guaranteed buyback, lifetime maintenance, 100 percent value on diamond exchange, and exclusive use of certified stones. Further growth The brand plans further expansion across the region, with company officials confirming that the GCC debut is only the beginning of what they described as an 'ambitious growth roadmap.' The launch of Mojawhraty follows Malabar's ongoing efforts to strengthen its international retail footprint. The group currently operates more than 400 showrooms across 13 countries, with annual revenues exceeding $7 billion.
