| About Bahrain
Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands in the Arabian Gulf, located
about 25 km off the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. The four main
islands are joined by causeways, and make up about 95% of the total
land area offering a blend of ancient and modern. Skyscrapers share
the landscape with majestic mosques, embodiments of Islamic art,
culture and architecture.
Manama, Bahrain's capital is modern, dominated by a Manhattan-style
skyline. The souk lies in the centre of the old town, near the
archway of Bab Al-Bahrain and, although much of the surrounding area
is modern, the street layout follows traditional lines.
Bahrain is a generally flat and arid archipelago, consisting of a
low desert plain rising gently to a low central escarpment, in the
Arabian Gulf, 25 km east of Saudi Arabia. The highest point is the
122 m.
