Ramadan is a month of many things, one of them being social gathering. One of the main occasions for social gatherings in countries like Bahrain and Kuwait is the Ghabga. Now we all know what and when Iftar and Suhoor are, but very few of us will know about the Ghabga. Basically it is a bit like a dinner invitation as it is a meal to which people are invited that takes place after Iftar but before Suhoor!
Another excuse to eat you say? Well yes, but it is also a great way to socialize as many people have Ghabga parties where they invite even Western friends. People usually dress up in national dress and on many an occasion Ghabga’s turn into mini-fashion shows! Whilst some people go overboard with these things and send out personalized invitations like those for wedding, it doesn’t have to be. So maybe you, your school or even just your family want to throw a Ghabga?!
