Manama, Capital and financial center in Capital Governorate, Bahrain
Located on a northeastern peninsula, Manama extends across 78 square kilometers of flat terrain between the waters of the Persian Gulf.
The settlement received its name around 1330 during the visit of Turān Shah of Hurmuz, deriving from Arabic words meaning place of rest.
The Bahrain National Museum in Manama presents archaeological artifacts, traditional crafts, and contemporary art collections representing regional civilization developments.
The public transportation network includes regular bus services connecting major districts, with routes operating from the central terminal near Bab Al Bahrain.
The city transformed from a pearling economy into a modern financial hub, now containing more than two hundred banking and financial institutions.
