#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 😃

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.

I went to Bahrain. Unfortunately, I only took these 9 pictures. Like many of my friends, I got to know Bahrain, an island country in the Persian Gulf, because of a stopover. Bahrain is not very big, so you can visit almost all the popular attractions during an 8-hour stopover here. Because the time was short, I had some regrets and only managed to take these nine satisfactory photos. P1. Bahrain World Trade Center: The world's first building to use wind turbines in its construction. P2. Bahrain Bay: A modern seaside area with luxury hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. P3-4. Manama Souq: Experience a traditional Arab market with spices, textiles and handicrafts. P5-6. Al-Fateh Mosque: The largest mosque in Bahrain, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. P7-8. Qal'at al-Bahrain: A UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing the history of the ancient Dilmun civilization. P9. Evening rush hour on the main road of Manama
