Island of the Golden Smile
Review of General: Bahrain by
newty1977
Advantages: Warm, hot, fascinating place to visit
Disadvantages: Very humid ! 9 hour flight !
Look what I found when I was clearing some files from my work database .... a review I wrote after I had been to Bahrain in June 2001.
As part of my job, working within a global conference and events organiser, I used to do so much more International (and somewhat more exotic) travel than I currently do ;-( but I still can't grumble and I went to Barcelona on business last weekend and go to the South of France on business (of sorts!) next weekend.
This ...

Expat Heaven.
Review of General: Bahrain by
Rowan
Advantages: Good nightlife and pearl shopping
Disadvantages: Not much there for tourists
I may well be horribly biased but I think this is a fantastic place. After all I was born in Bahrain, but I hadn’t been back for at least 15 years when I visited family friends for a week last summer. It strikes me that Bahrain is far from an up and coming tourist destination. I had great time, but I was with a resident.
As far as background goes Bahrain is a tiny island in the Persian Gulf. It’s not particularly famous for anything ...

Bahrain
Review of General: Bahrain by
penguin_too
Advantages: Good for short breaks
Disadvantages:
Bahrain is a rare pearl in the Arabian Gulf. More relaxed than it's strictly Islamic neighbours - it combines the rich Arab culture with a more relaxed, somewhat Western, outlook. This small island, connected to the Saudi Arabian mainland by an enormous freeway, is oft a weekend escape for expats who can sample a pint of beer (alcohol is forbidden in most Muslim countries and anyone caught with it is severely reprimanded).
It is also a place for ...

Golden Bahrain
Review of General: Bahrain by
cheekychunkychops
Advantages: Undiscovered by most!
Disadvantages: Soon will be!
As cabin crew i visit Bahrain on average once a month and I never fail to enjoy my trip. I can stay from anywhere between 12 hours and 10 days and love it everytime. Where do I start?
Well, we usually stay in the Diplomat Hotel in Manama which is sheer luxury and caters for all your needs. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the tv keeps you up to date with news from around the world. When you drive up to the hotel really takes your breath ...

Bahrain - a melting pot of cultures
Review of General: Bahrain by
lillygirl
Advantages: Can see it all in a day or two
Disadvantages: No beaches, lack of tourist attractions, expensive taxis
An island with without any beaches? It doesn't seem possible yet somewhow Bahrain manages to acheive it.
A tiny island attached to the vastness of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain is a Kingdom with big plans. Like many of the other Gulf countries, it is a melting pot of cultures and there's always something to be looking at - women entirely covered in veils showing only their stunning eyes, Indian workers spending their Friday relaxing on the grass in the ...
