Bahrain

The Official Travel Notes Blog

The Kingdom of Bahrain is made up of 33 small islands in the Arabian Gulf, between Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the largest of which, is Bahrain itself.

The 25 kilometre King Fahad causeway, between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, was opened in November 1986; and with it came an increase in local tourism.

Tourist Attractions:
No visit to Bahrain would be complete without a trip to the soukh, with its profusion of colours, sounds, and aromas. A descriptive list of your sightseeing options in Bahrain, together with a handful of images.

Bahrain is ruled by the Al-Khalifa family, and some of their palaces are worth a visit: Bahrain's Guest Palace being one of the more famous.

Behind the modernism of Manama is the old town with its decorative houses, rambling Arab souks, old mosques and the occasional date palm grove.

The Bahrain National Museum is situated on the intersection of the Muharraq Causeway and King Faisal Highway.
