Bahrain

Bahrain is a small archipelago in the Persian Gulf where ancient pearl-diving culture meets one of the Gulf's more cosmopolitan urban atmospheres. Causeway-linked islands hold date palms, limestone escarpments, and a capital skyline that reflects both oil wealth and a longer mercantile history. The pace is quieter than Dubai, but the social fabric is layered and distinct.

About Bahrain

Overview

Bahrain sits in the Persian Gulf between Saudi Arabia, connected by the King Fahd Causeway, and Qatar. The capital, Manama, serves as the political and commercial center. Arabic is the official language and the Bahraini dinar is the currency. The population is a mix of Bahraini nationals and a large expatriate community, giving daily life a noticeably international texture within a firmly Gulf Arab cultural framework.
