Bahrain is the smallest of the independent Persian Gulf states. The country has few oil reserves; however it has established itself as a hub for refining as well as international banking, while also achieving a liberal political system. Bahrain is a famous tourist destination. Most of the visitors are from the surrounding Arab states that come from King Fahad causeway but there are an increasing number of tourists outside the region, thanks to a growing awareness of the kingdom’s heritage and its higher profile with regards to the Bahrain formula one race track, horse racing, beside, the traditional and gold souq. The best time to visit Bahrain is from November to March. Bahrain offers diverse opportunities for visitors and residents, from dolphin watching trips, shopping, visiting the Bahrain International Circuit, dining, to visiting ancient historical sites and museums. The recently renovated Bahrain Fort is a World Heritage Site and a “must” for every visitor. Bahrain Fort, on the island’s North coast, was built in the 14th century but excavations have revealed it was built on the site of Dilmun settlements, dating back to 3,000 BC. Recently renovated, and with new lighting at night, the Fort is an outstanding example of Bahrain’s varied and ancient history. The Al Fatih Mosque is Bahrain’s largest mosque. The huge domed building houses the National Library, which opened in 2006. Manama Suoq is a bustling marketplace full of traditional as well as modern shops. It is located in the centre of the city, near Bab Al Bahrain. The market is a perfect place to buy traditional products, with everything from spices, fabrics, kaftans to dried fruit and nuts. The Gold Souq is also worth a visit, with all the gold hallmarked and pure. If planning on visiting several sites, consider renting a car. Prices are reasonable and it allows you freedom to drive around the island.
