All about Bahrain
Bahrain, a tiny Arab state, is tucked into a bay on the southwestern coast of the Persian Gulf. Within this archipelago, which further contains the island of Bahrain, you'll find around thirty other smaller islands. The phrase al-barayn in Arabic means "two seas," which is where the name comes from.
Despite having very few oil reserves of its own, the once tranquil pearling island of Bahrain has grown in importance as its region has grown in geopolitical relevance. Oil workers from nearby cities flock here on vacation thanks to the laid-back atmosphere and tolerant monarchy. People from Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, and especially Saudi Arabia flock there on weekends, and an increasing number of tourists travel from even further afield to experience the city's modern conveniences and balmy environment.
List of things to do in Bahrain
- Manama skyline from a rooftop venue: It is impossible to get a greater perspective of the Manama skyline than from a rooftop restaurant or bar because the city is full of historic structures such as the World Trade Centre, which was only recently recognized as among the most important skyscrapers in the world. We strongly encourage you to visit the Blue Moon Lounge, which is located on the fifty-first floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Bahrain Bay.
- Muharraq pearling road: This particular location is one of the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites that can be found in Bahrain. Following the path that goes around Muharraq, you can explore the mansions and warehouses that were originally employed in this lucrative commerce. An enjoyable and engaging outing awaits you.
- Bahrain Fort: Around three thousand years before the common era, the Portuguese constructed the Bahrain Fort on the country's lone stretch of coastline, and it is today recognized as a World Cultural Heritage site. It appears to be of remarkable quality. Archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient city as they unearthed the remains of Bahrain Fort, which is located underneath the ruins. The ancient city was composed of a great number of massive stone homes. For defence, tall walls were constructed all around.
- Al Fateh Grand Mosque: You might have visited a lot of mosques, but the vibes of this mosque are something that keeps attracting numerous visitors. This is one of the best religious places to visit in Bahrain.
- A’Ali Pottery District: A’Ali pottery district is quite famous among travellers coming to Bahrain. It is a great place to shop for unique articles and souvenirs.
Bahrain airport information
The Bahrain International Airport (IATA code: BAH), which is located on a tiny island to the north of the nation's capital city of Manama, is the most important point of entry into the Kingdom of Bahrain. Manama is the capital city of Bahrain. An older terminal and another more up-to-date terminal are both available for use by travellers at this airport.
