About Bahrain

An island archipelago in the Persian Gulf, Bahrain links to the Arabian mainland by causeway and looks back on a pearl-diving past. Manama holds the old souq and the national museum, the Bahrain Fort recalls Dilmun and Portuguese eras, and the Tree of Life stands alone in the desert interior. The cooler months from November to March are the most pleasant, summers are extremely hot and humid, and spring can bring dust and brief rain.

Did you know?

Bahrain is an archipelago in the Gulf and one of the most densely populated countries in the region.
Its pearling industry and the Qal'at al-Bahrain fort are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The Tree of Life, a lone mesquite standing in the desert, has survived for generations without an obvious water source.
