Bahrain, Island nation in Persian Gulf, Middle East

Bahrain consists of one main island and 30 smaller islands, forming an archipelago with a total land area of 295 square miles near Saudi Arabia.

The territory served as a central trading hub during the ancient Dilmun civilization, connecting Mesopotamia with the Indus Valley through maritime routes.

The National Museum in Manama presents 6000 years of regional history through artifacts, documents, and traditional crafts from pearl diving to pottery making.

The months between November and March provide temperatures between 15-25°C, making it the most suitable period for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

The Tree of Life stands alone in the desert, surviving for over 400 years without any visible water source, reaching a height of 32 feet.
