Bahrain is defined by its relationship with water. Take the country’s name “Two Seas” in Arabic, the focus is not the island’s minimal landmass, but the water that laps in its shores.
The island State of Bahrain has become the leading financial and communications center for the Persian Gulf. Linked to Saudi Arabia by the King Fahd Causeway, Bahrain’s
has been the most important hub in the GCC region in terms of banking, real estate development and tourism.
Bahrain’s reputation as a relatively liberal and modern Persian Gulf state has made it a favorite with travelers in the region and an excellent introduction to the Gulf.
So shallow is the water lapping Bahrain’s coastline that the inhabitants regularly ‘reclaim’ pieces of land, filling in the gaps between sand bars, as if winning back lost territory.
