The island of Bahrain is a sovereign state in the Persian Gulf. Connected to Saudi Arabia by the 25-kilometre King Fahd Causeway, Bahrain is known for its ancient mosques, quirky souqs and desert climate.

Bahrain's buzzing capital Manama is a city of contrast. Discover the country’s ancient history by day and party by night. Get your culture fix by visiting the Bahrain National Museum, exhibiting 9000-year-old artefacts and inspiring Islamic art. Ignite your senses in the Manama Souq, selling everything from sparkling gold to exotic spices. At night, skyscrapers light up the sky. The nightlife is legendary, with world-class bars and top nightclubs on every corner. Leave the modern world behind and journey into the Arabian Desert. 40 kilometres out of Manama, you find the Tree of Life. Mystifying locals and tourists alike for centuries, this lone tree surrounded by barren desert is a mythical, awe-inspiring sight.
