Bahrain is the third smallest country on the Asian continent, but there’s so much to see!
How to Get Here
You can fly into the capital of Manama, but since I was already in Saudi Arabia I decided to take the land border across to Bahrain! I flew from Jeddah to Dammam, then went to the local bus station and bought a ticket to Manama. The bus leaves twice per day, once in the early morning and again in the evening, so plan your schedule accordingly.
Top Things to Do
Pearl Diving
Bahrain’s pearls are prized as some of the best natural pearls in the world. You can even dive and collect your own! There’s a few companies that offer the trip but if you’re looking for a half day snorkel, I recommend this company.
Royal Camel Farm
Over 500 camels are located right outside of the capital city of Manama, founded by the late sheikh of Bahrain.
Bahrain Fort
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bahrain Fort dates back to 2300 BC and has hosted Kassites, Greeks, Portuguese, and Persians.
