Monthly Wrap Up
Wow, so I just spent a good 2 hours piecing together my Bahrain trip, only for it to all get erased. So instead of immediately retyping that incredibly long entry, I'll just save it for later and do this one dedicated to what I've learned in my first ...
Bahrain by car.
... "carpenter". Well, duh. I think I'm just spoiled by the wonderful reveal of the Dubai museum. So that completes my time in Bahrain; a small country that's nice enough, I guess, but not a real metropolis like Dubai. It's trying hard, and there's plenty ...
Homeward bound via Bahrain
... fly through the night back to England We wanted to surprise a few folks so have sneaked home quietly. Never the less, Bahrain International Airport looked very nice at midnight, all lit up. This small island state lies in the Persion ...
Bahrain by foot.
... the middle of the city. So I walk, through the diplomatic area and past the new commercial district rising rapidly -- the Bahrain World Trade Center is a really neat two-tower building forming a point at the top, but with turbines between the ...
Anniversary in Bahrain
... Mall (has a large theatre complex), Al Seef Mall (biggest and best), Al A'ali Mall (exclusive expensive shops) and Geant Mall (Bahrain Mall). The National Museum on the Corniche was well worth the 1 BD (500 fils each). Had a good history of Bahrain ...
Mana-Rama
... LOVE coming to Bahrain for all its shopping and splendor. They will also tell you the US soldiers prefer docking in Manama over Dubai, because as they put it, Bahrain is the Las Vegas of the Middle East. Now don't get me wrong, by no means is Bahrain a ...
Bahrain is insain!
... even in the small Gulf of Arabia, you can't see any land surrounding the archipelago of Bahrain, 33 islands of which Bahrain is the largest, Manama being the capital and largest city. It is connected by bridge to Saudi Arabia, and is not far from Qatar, ...
Pacing the Cage in Manama
There's a lot of money in Bahrain, but it doesn't look like much of it has been spent on the airport. The terminal building is basically a long, shabby corridor, filled with people wandering aimlessly up and down like lions pacing ...
Bab Al-Bahrain
... , some more sightly then the others, although overall, much of the city is pretty trashy. For most travelers I would not recommend Bahrain as a visit, maybe a stopover on a connecting flight, otherwise its really not worth your time. There are a couple of ...
I got locked in a store because of Ramadan
Bahrain I have flown on to Bahrain and am in the capital, Manama, now. It's a really cool mix of modern skyscrapers and narrow winding streets filled with little shops. There seems to be a lot of Indians here so that just adds to ...
Ghost town

Manama - I'm Pinky in Bahrain

Exploring Bahrain
... time there. We walked from the park to the bus station. We wanted to take a bus to the huge causeway that leads from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. My untrustworthy LP guide said there were lookout towers on either side of the border, on a small island in ...
Leaving the Middle East Later Today
... far as you can get. Manama is a pleasant enough little place although fading a bit on the side streets behind the new skyscrapers. Bahrain is one of those places I have always wanted to go to for some reason since I was a kid. Maybe it was ...
Happy New Year!
Happy new year, everyone! Now, back to my life ... Somehow our 35 minute flight from Doha to Manama, Bahrain took up most of our day. Once we were up we checked out the buffet breakfast at our hotel in Doha. It was magnificent! They had delicious ...
Doha Life and a bit of Crazyness in Bahrain !!

The Kingdom of Bahrain
Bahrain is a tiny island nation in the middle of the Persian Gulf, with Iran on one side and with a causway to Saudi Arabia on the other. It is also the home to Riyadh's (the capital of Saudi Arabia) closest movie theatre, a mere 520 kms away (300 ...

What Would It Take To Get A Passport Stamp?
With a five hour layover, I was left with no clue as to what I would do with myself. So it was that I ended up in the SkyBar. Ambiguously marked, the traveling drinker must know to follow the signs to the elevator which will lead you to the fourth floor. ...
Dubai's laidback cousin
... who at 3 months old was about the same height as me! They were very cute though :) We then drove on the Causeway to the Bahrain - Saudi Arabia border [that road in the middle of the sea on the map]. We couldn't cross the border [you need a visa in ...
my vacation within my vacation
... a half-hearted attempt to catch up. Like the ridiculously over the top environmentally questionable development projects in Dubai, Bahrain too is creating man-made islands of various shapes encroaching into the Persian Gulf and sticking shiny modern ...
And back to Dubai!
Not much - just waiting at the airport for the flight! Bahrain was both nicer and more boring than I thought, the weather is a lot more forgiving but it's not worth more than about 3 days exploration tops.. Unless you like to get really nittygritty :P ...
UV, Cyber and Fire Shows at Seef Opening
This was a quick trip to Bahrain for the opening of Seef Mall in Manama. Short but sweet, we had fun and met a crew of breakdancers, a genius of football levitation, some living statues from Britain, a 'slinky lady' from Russia and an Australian virtuoso ...
16 hours in Manama
... for women and families. There, in the hidden corner the whiskey probably would taste very well, right? OK, finish with sarcasm, Bahrain is a lovely small country, and definitely better than some others. Cheers, it is allowed to drink alcohol, and woman ...
So close, I can almost smell the freedom...
What to do with 24 hours in the Middle East? My plan was to sleep in the airport but it seemed that the airline had other plans for me. I arrived in the Middle East and even though it was night, it was still very muggy and warm. My flight did not ...
