Bahrain Travel

Bahrain travel and tourism information & guide on vacation spots and destinations in Bahrain. Bahrain is an independent emirate comprising a group of low-lying islands located in the Persian Gulf between the Saudi Arabian mainland and the Qatar peninsula. The archipelago's major island, Bahrain, is about 48 km (30 mi.) long and 16 km (10 mi.) wide. About 23% of the country's population lives in Manama, the capital city. Bahrain's importance as an oil-producer is waning, but it continues to be a commercial center because of its strategic location. The two most important islands are Bahrain and al-Muharraq, which are connected by a causeway; other islands include Sitra, Umm Nassan, An Nabi Salih, Jidda, and the Hawar group.
