Bahrain, Manama market postcard
 
    Bahrain, officially the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: مملكة البحرين Mamlakat al-Barayn),
    is a borderless island country in the Persian Gulf and is the smallest Arab state.
    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. Entry from Wikipedia - I leave it to wiki to explain the history of Bahrain
    
    For now I'll give you some short impressions from our last two trips there.
    More might come in time and more pics will be posted in the next few weeks
    (I still have quite a few in my archive, sigh)
