Bahrain, also known as the Kingdom of Bahrain, is one of the smallest country in Asia. It is known as the site of the ancient Dilmun civilization, is famed for its pearl fisheries and unique Bahrain tourist attractions.

It is located off the coast of Saudi Arabia and is connected by the King Fahd Causeway which stretches at around 25km. The Causeway provides as the direct road link between the two countries. A drive through the Causeway is a treat as there are some great spots that you can visit.

Like most of its neighboring countries, tourism in Bahrain is increasing due to the various developments in the kingdom. January to March and October are the popular times to visit Bahrain as it is not too hot or too cold. Several points of interest includes forts, museums and mosques.
