Tour of Bahrin

About Bahrain...
The Kingdom of Bahrain—a name that translates as “Two Seas”—is actually an archipelago of 33 low-lying islands located in the heart of the Gulf. Situated along major Arabian and international trade routes between Asia and the West, the Kingdom has, for millennia, served as an important port and center of business. Today, the capital city of Manama is a vibrant cosmopolitan center offering an open economy and an educated workforce enhanced by modern cultural amenities like museums, shopping, restaurants and fine hotels.

Though modest in population, land area and resources, Bahrain has achieved considerable social and economic status. Our modern roads, international airport, telecommunications, public services, medical facilities and schools are considered among the best in the Middle East, if not the world.

Located just 25 kilometers from Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Bahrain is easily accessible by sea, air and even automobile via the King Fahd Causeway. Completed in 1986, the causeway provides a symbolic and virtual link between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, connecting the archipelago to mainland Arabia for the first time since people first inhabited the islands. Today, the causeway serves as a vital link to the entire Middle East.


Business...
With the discovery of oil in 1932, Bahrain enjoyed rapid economic development. In the 1960s, the Government adopted a strategy of economic diversification that favored non-oil industries that promised sustainable, long-term growth. Bahrain focused on improving physical infrastructure, telecommunications network, and the legal system in an effort to attract top-quality international companies and investors to Bahrain. Oil revenues were reinvested in education and healthcare, both drivers for non-oil industrial growth. Today, Bahrain offers a strong business ethic and a progressive investment environment.
Bahrain is a borderless island country in the Middle East to be more specific in the Persian Gulf and is also the smallest nation in the entire Arabian region.

Bahrain's Hotels are not simply places to stay but also offer varied live entertainment and so are centres of social life and places to meet both members of the expatriate community and Arabs in surroundings where the normal rules of behaviour are relaxed slightly.
