Bahrain Travel Guide

Bahrain is a small island in the Persian Gulf (or the Arabic Gulf, as the Arabs call it). It is linked to its big neighbor Saudi Arabia by a bridge and separated by a small strait from Qatar. The population is, like in neighboring Iran in large majority Shia Muslim. Less than 270 square miles in size, Bahrain is one of the most densely populated island countries in the world. Approximately 140,000 people reside in the capital city of Manama. Arabic is the official language, but many citizens also speak English. Bahrain is sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of the Middle East, because of its many banks and financial centers. Comprised of 33 islands, the country has one of the lowest elevations in the world; its highest point reaches a mere 134m or 440’. Bahrain’s main exports are aluminum and petroleum.
