Bahrain

Made up of thirty-three islands, located just off the east coast of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain offers a fascinating blend of eastern and western cultures, as skyscrapers vie for space with traditional dwellings. A cosmopolitan atmosphere has been created by the many nationalities that live and visit here every year and there are lots of things to see and do. Sweet water springs and dazzling white sand beaches provide the perfect settings for relaxation, while the bustling gold and cloth souks are a must for any 'shopaholic'!
