#Bahrain #Kingdom #middleeast Bahrain, known as the Pearl Island, or the country of millions of palm trees, is located in the heart of the Middle East, being its smallest unit. Sadly, there aren’t many palm trees left on the island but locals say that some 60-70 years ago their land was vividly green. At least before oil was found. Getting There - Bahrain can be reached by a number of major world airlines, such as Turkish Airlines, Emirates, including the domestic carrier Gulf Air. Optionally, you can reach Bahrain by car crossing the bridge connecting this small island to its large neighbour, Saudi Arabia. Attractions - Bahrain National Museum, World Trade Centre, Bahrain International Circuit, Amwaj Beach. Hotels - the Novotel Bahrain is a good choice as it has its private beach. Food & Restaurants - you’ll find plenty of restaurants in Manama and other areas of the island, serving the local cuisine. In case you prefer something more European or Asian in terms of food, it won’t be a problem either. Shopping - Bahrainis are fond of shopping centres, it’s one of their favourite time-killers, which is why you’ll see them here and there. Once you are fed up with them, you can go exploring the local markets where you will find the atmosphere of the Middle East. But it’s better to practise you bargaining skills before going there 😃

The tree, which is over 400 years old, is naturally occurring on a hillside in the arid Arabian desert and has been nicknamed the "Tree of Life". In 1991, Steve Martin called the tree one of the most mysterious places in the world. #Bahrain How to get there - Private car or rental car is cheaper than taxi. Tourist attractions - Tree of life (Bahrain)

👉Today I want to be a Korean girl 🇰🇷. Even in Bahrain, there is Korean food to eat.😋Today, I ordered only 2 things: Tteokbokki, cheese 🥘 and Korean chicken sauce 🍗. I have to say that the taste is a bit too sweet. And I want to eat cheese that is stretchy 🧀, but it is not stretchy. And the chicken sauce does not have pickled radish to cut the richness. But I don't know if they adjust the taste to suit each place or not. But overall, it is delicious. It helps me miss Korea a little bit. 🥰 👉#The location of the restaurant we ate at is at Lulu Juffa K POP FOOD. The restaurant has many menus. There is also a delivery service.🛺 For Korean fans who want to order to eat while watching Korean series, I recommend it.☝️☝️☝️

Bahrain is an interesting place because the hotel resorts own the prettiest beaches. If you want a free beach to yourself, I recommend Dumistan. I've been maybe six times, and it was empty on almost every trip. There are two cabanas you can relax at. Whole place to yourself, really. Enjoy! #tripblazers #manama #bahrain #travel #photography #fallingforfall

Bahrain… Sun that doesn’t get tired of SHINING… 🔅 #beachlife #bahrain #marassibeach #staycation

The financial harbor comprises of two towers with multiple businesses housed in the buildings. The place also hosts the VFS tasheel for the Saudi visa applications. The place is big and airy with a number of eating kiosks and restaurant as well. There is free car parking for the guest for up to 2 hours. The parking is really cramped and becomes challenge to navigate with larger cars! #givethanks #givethanks

This typical house is very interesting and attractive. The visit was very enjoyable. I think it was the most interesting thing to visit in the old area of Al Muharraq which is located just some km. from Manama and very easy to reach in bus. The best impression you could get to see how Royals lived in 19th century in Bahrain. Great place to take pics #givethanks #givethanks

The mosque itself is simple and elegant and well worth a visit. Our guide for the roughly half-hour tour was Ahmed, a real scholar and gentleman who spoke excellent English and was able to explain a lot about its construction and about Islam. It amused me that the dawn call to prayer includes the line "prayer is better than sleep". #givethanks #givethanks

An archaeological finding that is so spectacular. It’s a must visit place If you come to Bahrain. The entrance is free and you will totally have a great time here experience this amazing UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lots of nice area to snap pictures. Worth of visiting since there aren’t many places of historical significance in Bahrain, maybe the best time to visit is late afternoon because of the heat. #givethanks #givethanks

The museum speaks alot about the Epic of gilgamesh and the dilmun civilisations in particular and explained (Early,Middle and Late dilmun) with items dating back to these times to more recent things such as old bahraini letters and stamps. #givethanks #givethanks

Bahrain weekend trip. there are some old castles there. this one is a small one. you can take boat from national museum to reach there. it’s also nice to take some pic on the boat before reaching there.
