The state takes its name from the largest island Bahrain. It is linked by causeways to Muharraq [ internationale luchthaven ] en Sitra [ industriegebied en tankopslag ].

There are numerous other tiny islands, but they are mainly uninhabited and are best known for the variety of migrating birds which pass through in spring and autumn.

 Al Jazaer Beach - Strand
 Al-Khamis Mosque - moskee
one of the oldest relics of Islam in the region, and the foundations are believed to have been laid as early as 692AD. An inscription found on the site, however, suggests a foundation date sometimes during the 11th Century. It has since been rebuilt twice in both 14th & 15th centuries, when the minarets were constructed.
 Arad Fort
This 16th century fort of Arabic construction is probably one of the first landmarks you will see upon arrival to Bahrain due to its proximity to the airport.
 Bahrain Fort - Fort van Bahrein
The first dwellings on the site are believed to have been constructed around 2800 BC, and have subsequently been overlaid by numerous fortified settlements. The last was built in the early 16th century to defend Portugal's recent acquisition of the islands-for this reason, it is also known locally as the Portugueese Fort.
 Beit Al Qur'an - House of the Qur'an
The House of the Qur'an was built to accommodate a comprehensive and valuable collection of the Holy Qur'an and manuscripts, a concept which is unique in the Arabian Gulf.
 Barbar Temple
Excavations, which were begun in the 1950s and 1960s, have revealed three stone-built temples dating from the second and third millennia BC. It is believed that they were built as a place of worship for the God of Spring Waters, Enki, and a sacred well within the complex strengthens this theory.
 Hawar Islands
 Museum of Pearl Diving - Museum over parelduiken

Standing on a low escarpment, overlooking the valley between the east and west Riffa the fort held an ideal strategic position during the 18th century
 Shaikh Isa's House
Shaikh Isa's house, in the old town of Muharraq, was once the home of the Amir`s great-grandfather, Shaikh Isa Bin Ali Al khalifa . It provides a fine example of local architecture, complete with wind tower, wall carving and lattice work, and its representative of traditional 19th century life. One of the early forms of " air conditions" was the wind tower, a traditional landmark of local architecture. This would act as a funnel, catching the breeze and drawing it down it down into the cavities below, as well as allowing the release of hot air like a chimney.

The Soukh, The Gold Soukh en The Cloth Soukh
 Siyadi House
One of the most impressive examples of a 19th century built by the pearl-merchant Ahmed Bin Qassem Siyadi and has many fine features to look out for, including ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows, carved screens and a large safe set into the wall of a small, upper reception room.

Geschiedenis van Bahrein

Known in ancient times as Dilmun, Bahrain was an important center of trade by the 3rd millennium B.C. The islands were ruled by the Persians in the 4th century A.D., and then by Arabs until 1541, when the Portuguese invaded them. Persia again claimed Bahrain in 1602. In 1783 Ahmad ibn al-Khalifah took over, and the al-Khalifahs remain the ruling family today. Bahrain became a British protectorate in 1820. It did not gain full independence untill Aug. 14, 1971.

 Bahrain's History  -  Wikipedia
Bahrain was once part of the ancient civilization of Dilmun and served as an important link in trade routes between Sumeria and the Indus Valley as long as 5,000 years ago.
In the first century AD, Bahrain was referred to by the Greeks as "Tylos", the centre of pearls trading...

Houses some fascinating exhibits, including drilling equipment, documents, old photographs and a working model of an oil rig.
 Oil Well No.1  -  Oliebron nummer 1
As its name suggests, this is the first oil well in the Gulf. "Spurted" on 16th October 1931, the well finally began to blow heads of oil on the morning of 2nd June 1932, too much celebration on the part of those involved in the project. It is situated below jebel Dukhan, the Mountain of Smoke, which, at a height of 134 meters (450 feet), is the highest point of the island. Its name comes from the misty haze, which frequently surrounds it on a hot and humid day.

Opmerking
Sinds het toenemende nationalisme in de zestiger jaren in de diverse Arabische staten, is rond de juiste naamgeving van de Perzische Golf een namenstrijd tussen Iran en de Arabische staten ontstaan. Hoewel de laatste de naam 'Arabisch-Perzische Golf' voorstaan, houdt Iran vast aan de al lang bestaande naamgeving. De UNO gebruikt de naam Perziische Golf en beveelt aan om die vooralsnog te gebruiken.
