Bougainvillea is one of the most beautiful evergreen climbing plants, bringing a vibrant touch of colors such as white, pink, orange, and red. With its radiant blossoms and graceful growth, it has become one of the most popular ornamental plants, adding a unique charm to fences, walls, and arches in gardens and balconies. Bougainvillea is well known for its strong adaptability to warm climates and its ability to bloom almost all year round, while requiring minimal care. This makes it an ideal choice for areas seeking lasting beauty with easy maintenance, keeping its vivid colors shining throughout the seasons. In line with its commitment to creating a stunning natural environment and distinctive green landscapes, Riffa Views ensures the planting of Bougainvillea across many of the community’s communal gardens. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the surroundings but also provides residents with a sense of comfort and harmony with nature.

Plumeria trees are among the most distinctive aesthetic features of Riffa Views, adding a serene and colorful natural beauty that reflects the elegance of our community’s design and planning. Plumeria trees offer several notable characteristics, including their fragrant blossoms that fill the air with pleasant aromas, their resilience to heat and local climate conditions, which makes them well-suited to Bahrain’s environment, and their glossy green leaves that provide natural shade along gardens and pathways. Additionally, their minimal leaf shedding makes them ideal for residential areas in terms of cleanliness and ease of maintenance.

We would like to inform you that several Bahraini flags displayed on residential units within Riffa Views have been observed in unsuitable condition, such as being torn or faded. These should be replaced. Accordingly, we kindly request all unit owners to ensure that any damaged flags are replaced in a manner that reflects the dignity and symbolism of the National Flag of the Kingdom of Bahrain. We also recommend that, when displaying the flag, it be mounted on a white metal pole, in accordance with the official guidelines for the proper use of the national flag. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

With reference to previous circulars prohibiting children from operating golf carts, motorbikes, and quad vehicles within Riffa Views community, we have observed that some residents continue to allow their children to drive these vehicles, putting their own safety and that of others at serious risk. Several recent incidents have been observed, including a severe collision involving a child operating a motorized vehicle, which nearly resulted in a fatality and could have caused legal consequences for innocent parties due to this disregard for regulations. The Board affirms that it will not tolerate such irresponsible behavior and will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure public safety within the Riffa Views community. Accordingly, the Board strongly urges all residents not to allow their children to operate such vehicles. Should any violations be observed, the Association Manager will proceed with applying financial penalties in accordance with the Association’s By-Laws, in addition to filing official reports with the police.

The Cordia , or Geiger tree , is one of the most beautiful tropical trees, known for its vibrant orange flowers that bloom throughout most of the year. These trees grow up to 5 meters tall, with a dense circular canopy and rough leaves. They are known to attract butterflies and birds. The tree is also heat-resistant and requires minimal care, making it an ideal tree throughout the year. Riffa Views takes great care in planting these trees, and they are found in various locations, being planted annually in increasing numbers as part of efforts to enhance green areas. The Cordia tree is easily propagated through seeds or cuttings, making local cultivation straightforward.

We would like to draw your attention to the announcement by the Ministry of Labour regarding the enforcement of the midday work ban, effective from June 15 to September 15, 2025, between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Under the edict, it is prohibited to engage workers in direct sunlight or open areas during the designated period. Bahrain enforces this ban in line with international labour standards to enhance the protection of workers from occupational illnesses and injuries during the peak of summer, when temperatures and humidity levels are high. The working hours for private contractors for the units in Riffa Views will be from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We appreciate your continued cooperation.

Also known as the Flame Tree , the Delonix is prized for its vibrant red-orange flowers and soft, delicate leaves. It is one of the most striking ornamental trees, blooming beautifully during the summer months. At Riffa Views, we plant Delonix trees in communal gardens and along streets to provide broad shade and enhance the visual appeal of the area. Reaching up to 10 meters in height, the tree thrives in hot climates, grows best in well-drained soil, and requires full sun. It is typically propagated from seeds.

We have previously issued several notices to residents emphasizing the importance of not leaving dog waste while walking on pedestrian pathways, gardens, or green spaces. Unfortunately, this issue continues in several areas, and it has even extended to leaving waste near the entrances and garages of the units. Upon reviewing the security camera footage, it was found that several pet owners did not remove the waste during their walks with dogs, which exacerbates the negative effects of this uncivilized behavior. This poses a health risk, contributing to the spread of bacteria, harmful parasites, and the potential transmission of diseases to humans, especially children, when exposed to it. Therefore, and in accordance with the recommendation of the members present at the General Assembly meeting held on May 17, 2025 , the Board of Directors has decided to issue notices imposing financial penalties on unit owners who house dogs, and whose residents fail to clean up after them, in accordance with the provisions of the Association's By-Laws regulations. Due to the difficulty of continuously monitoring this issue, the Board of Directors urges everyone to cooperate in reporting these violations, either by sending them via WhatsApp to the number 39996117 or by [ clicking here ].

Neem trees are considered an important environmental species due to their high ability to purify the air, resist, and repel pests and insects, provide shade, and improve soil quality. Additionally, they require minimal water, making them ideal for the local climate. Riffa Views is committed to enhancing the green cover by increasing the annual planting of neem trees and spreading them across various areas and communal gardens. Currently, there are hundreds of neem trees distributed along streets, gardens, and community borders, with the continued planting of hundreds more annually as part of the strategic plan established by the Association Board of Directors regarding sustainable development.
