Destination Bahrain

Every year Bahrain attracts more than six million visitors, drawn by the island's sunny climate, cosmopolitan ambiance and traditional friendly welcome.

Fondly known as the 'Pearl of the Gulf,' Bahrain is a land of colourful contrasts. Impressive skyscrapers sprouting along the waterfront stand side by side with ancient mosques and the narrow twisting maze of the traditional souqs. Landmarks of civilisation date back some 5,000 years to the Dilmun era, and the country's rich heritage and culture are revealed in its museums, archaeological sites, handicraft centres and preserved structures.

The island community offers a relaxed lifestyle where personal freedoms are respected and these days, perhaps more importantly, it is a safe place to be with one of the world's lowest crime rates.

With its strategic location, excellent connections and world-class  infrastructure, the country is also one of the region's busiest hubs for exhibitions and conferences.
