The winds of change have swept across the Kingdom of Bahrain, turning a sleepy fishing port into a bustling metropolis. Strut your stuff in Manama’s luxury malls, poised between the steel canyons and glass gorges of the financial district. Seek soulful moments below the sky-scraping minarets of elegant mosques and the cobbled streets of ancient souqs. Solitary trees stud the desert to the south, where camel treks and 4x4 safaris delve into parched dunes and high-octane adventures await at Bahrain International Circuit. Heed the call of fine fare and warm sands at elegant beach clubs or sail in search of pearls in the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf and the desert reserves of pristine islands.
