BAHRAIN
The Pearl of the Gulf
The Kingdom of Bahrain has been called the ‘Land of Eternity’ and the ‘Pearl of the Gulf’ representing the rich heritage, culture, and beauty of the 33 natural islands and several man-made ones. It has a deep history, a vibrant present, and a bright future. A unique country unlike any other, Bahrain is definitely worth a visit.
Bahrain, an island long known for its tolerance, coexistence, and freedom of religion, has always welcomed people from different faiths and backgrounds to its shores. You can find mosques, churches, temples and the synagogue all side-by-side. It is home to the only indigenous Jewish community in the Arabian Gulf, which dates back to the 1880s.
Bahrain offers something for everyone – if you are interested in ancient history, Bahrain was the center of the ancient Dilmun civilization. If you are interested in modern history, Bahrain was the pearling hub of the gulf.
