	A spacious, well laid out national museum Review of Bahrain National Museum, Manama by xameeurc Advantages: Modern and airy, well displayed exhibits, very cheap entry price Disadvantages: None really, apart from cafe usually shut Bahrain National Museum is a modern, spacious museum (opened in 1988) with lots of interesting things to see, and well worth a couple of hours if you are in Bahrain. The entrance fee is only 500 fils (about 70p) and children are free. It is situated ...

	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 mel ...

	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 ( ...

Bahrain used to be the burial isand for the ancient Delmun civilisation so you are standing on a huge graveyard.!! Normal flight time is a great deal less than 9hrs. by webfoot wow, i only ever stopped off there on the way to the maldives, very cheap duty free! i got a watch for £400 less than uk prices by earlofaldgate read all comments There are 4 other reviews on this product: View other reviews Bahrain by penguin_too Expat Heaven. by Rowan Golden Bahrain by cheekychunkychops read all reviews		very helpful 13.05.06 01:17 (13.05.06 01:39)
	Hospitality on Fantasy Island Review of Sheraton Hotel Bahrain by Vodkaboy Advantages: Good location, pleasant service, some great people Disadvantages: Limited dining options, bland pool Bahrain is a small group of islands just off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Because of its relatively liberal attitudes, it has always been a haven to where people escape from the rest of the Middle East, for R&R and sanity. For this reason it has acquired th ...

	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 she ...

	Gorgeous, tasty but not very clever. Review of Novotel Al Dana Resort, Bahrain by Vodkaboy Advantages: Beautiful style, good food Disadvantages: Dull rooms, can be a bit slow There is a bit of a rivalry between Bahrain and Dubai. The history of trade and friendship between Bahrain and the West, particularly UK, goes back decades, and until maybe fifteen years ago, Bahrain was considered the jewel of the Gulf, people would go t ...

	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 ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful Ciao members have made 6 comments about this review View comments You've certainly given some basics about a beautiful country, and I agree with some of your comments about bars and marines! :) It would be useful to know something about where to stay (I appreciate you stayed with friends but there are lots of hotels there), what do apart from the souk, bars and boating; culture and history; how liberal (I actually found that it was liberal and more women were not in hijab); shopping; beaches; eating out; costs etc. It you feel like adding more I would be glad to re-rate. by Vodkaboy Though I find this somewhat helpful, you seem to have missed outthe best bits .... where are the scenery descriptions ???? The amazing places to visit?? The stunning shopping malls??? It can't have changed that much in a couple of years. I was there in 2002. Might write my own review.

	Bahrain Review of General: Bahrain by penguin_too Advantages: Good for short breaks 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 ...
