Comprising more than 30 islands in the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain has been at the centre of trade and culture for centuries. Its capital, Manama, is a lively city full of cultural spots, restaurants, and international hotels. Step outside the city and you’ll find coastal towns, desert landscapes, and the Hawar Islands, a protected haven for birds and wildlife.
Bahrain is also buzzing with events all year round – from motorsport weekends to music festivals – giving travellers plenty of reasons to explore, experience, and enjoy everything this island has to offer.
Did you know? Bahrain’s Tree of Life is a 400-year-old acacia surviving alone in the desert. Scientists think its roots reach 50 metres to underground springs, while legends link it to the Garden of Eden. The island’s name, “Two Seas,” comes from these rare freshwater springs breaking through the salty seabed.
