Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: ‎Mamlakat al-Baḥrayn), is a borderless island country in the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia lies to the west and is connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway (officially opened on November 25, 1986), and Qatar is to the south across the Gulf of Bahrain. The Qatar–Bahrain Friendship Bridge being planned will link Bahrain to Qatar as the longest fixed link in the world.Bahrain – whose name means “two seas” – was once viewed by the ancient Sumerians as an island paradise to which the wise and the brave were taken to enjoy eternal life.It was one of the first states in the Gulf to discover oil and to build a refinery; as such, it benefited from oil wealth before most of its neighbours.The country has been headed since 1783 by the al-Khalifah family, members of the Bani Utbah tribe, who expelled the Persians. From 1861, when a treaty was signed with Britain, until independence in 1971, Bahrain was virtually a British protectorate.
Bahrain – a chain of around 30 islands – is a haven for tourists from the region, who take advantage of its relaxed social environment. A close ally of the US, it is home to the American navy’s Fifth Fleet.Bahrain is a generally flat and arid archipelago, consisting of a low desert plain rising gently to a low central escarpment, in the Persian Gulf, east of Saudi Arabia. The highest point is the 122 m Jabal ad Dukhan.

The official religion of Bahrain is Islam, which the majority of the population practices. However, due to an influx of immigrants and guest workers from non-Muslim countries, such as India, Philippines and Sri Lanka, the overall percentage of Muslims in the country has declined in recent years. According to the 2001 census, 80% of Bahrain’s population was Muslim, 10% were Christian, and 10% practiced other religions.Bahrain is a popular tourist destination with over eight million tourists a year. Most of the visitors are from the surrounding Arab states but there is an increasing number of tourists from 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.

    Great blog man. When will you post anotherone ?

    Btw I dont know why nobody is writing blog posts about this free electronic cigarette giveaway youtube vid? It’s New years and the amount of peepswho are quitting cigarettes is massive. I would imagine electronic cigarettes and quitting smoking will be a hugely googled statement for next few weeks.

    Might be a bit out of the blue but traffic is traffic and everyone likes free stuff.

    I really need to own a blog!

    love
    Chanelle

    Would you kindly translate your site into Italian as I’m not very comfortable reading it in English? I’m getting tired of using Google Translate all the time, there is a little WP plugin called like global translator which will render all your pages automatically- this will make reading articleson your sweet blog even more comfortable. Cheers, Concha Maclauchlan!
