The Pearl of the Gulf. From the ancient and traditional to the breathtakingly modern, there is much to see and do in Bahrain.
The name ‘Bahrain’ means two seas, which is attributed to the sweet water springs and salty water in the seas that surrounds the island country. Our cluster of thirty-three islands sits happily in the heart of the Gulf.
