Home of the ancient Dilmun Empire, one of the oldest Middle East’s civilizations with 6,000 years of history, Bahrain has much to offer, such as the Bahrain Pearling Trail, Islamic architecture, and the colorful Manama Souq.

Note: vast majority of trips are trouble free and there is no need to be paranoid. That said, it always pays to be aware, careful, and prepared.
