Bahrain
Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf with a history dating back over 4,000 years, once the heart of the ancient Dilmun civilization. It is known for its traditional pearl diving heritage and modern transformation into a financial hub, with landmarks like the Bahrain Fort (Qal’at al-Bahrain), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing its layered history.
Manama
Manama is the capital and largest city of Bahrain, located on the northeastern coast of the Persian Gulf. Historically a center of trade and pearling, it grew from a small port into a modern financial hub following the discovery of oil in the 20th century.
