The kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of low lying island located in the Arabian Gulf of the eastern shore of Saudi Arabia. Known as the Pearl of the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain has a history of more than 5,000 years of civilisation, from the mists of time to a vibrant present. While relatively small in population, land area and resources, Bahrain has achieved a high level of social and economic development in a short period. The road network, international airport, telecommunications, public services, medical facilities and university are all recognised as being amongst the best in the world.
Although great emphasis is naturally placed on the development of its own citizens, due to its large expatriate population, Bahrain has a marvelous multinational mix of nationalities, all living harmoniously together in a completely unique mix of cultures. Marvelous old sites and buildings compete with modern office buildings and colourful traditional markets.
English is widely spoken, but traditional Arab courtesy and hospitality are still the hallmark of a friendly and peaceful Bahrain.
