.... and where exactly is The Kingdom of Bahrain...? bahrain.gov.bh The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of low lying island located in the Arabian Gulf of the eastern shore of Saudi Arabia. Frequently called the Pearl of the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain has a history of more than 5,000 years of civilisation, from the mists of time to a vibrant present under a stable and prosperous government. Bahrain is the site of immortal Dilmun, religious centre to Summerians, Babylonians and Assyrians, as dramatic excavations prove. Subsequent visitors include Greeks from the time of Alexander the Great, Portuguese, Omani's and the English. Marvellous old sites and buildings compete with modern office buildings and colourful traditional markets. While relatively small in population, land area and resources Bahrain has achieved a high level of social and economic development in a short period. The road network, international airport, telecommunications, public services, medical facilities and university are all recognised as being among the best in the world. Although great emphasis is naturally placed on the development of its own citizens, due to its large expatriate population Bahrain has a marvelous multi-national mix of nationalities, all living harmonously together in a completely unique mix of cultures. English is widely spoken, but traditional Arab courtesy and hospitality are still the hall mark of a friendly and peaceful Bahrain Fact Sheet: bahrain.gov.bh Geography: bahrain.gov.bh Government: bahrain.gov.bh Grand Prix of Bahrain home page: bahraingp.com.bh An interesting circuit... bahraingp.com.bh Map of Bahrain (from the World Factbook) cia.gov
