About Bahrain
The Gulf's most liberal island kingdom — Formula 1, ancient Dilmun heritage, the Tree of Life, a vibrant nightlife, and the King Fahd Causeway connecting to Saudi Arabia.
The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands, the smallest Gulf state but one of the most culturally rich. Its Dilmun civilisation dates back 5,000 years. Bahrain was the first Gulf state to discover oil (1932) and the first to diversify away from it. Today it's the most socially liberal Gulf country — alcohol is freely available, and the nightlife rivals any in the region.
