While plenty of tourists are heading for the likes of Dubai and Qatar on their next vacation, Bahrain proves to be a hidden gem in the Arabian Gulf. With a highly tolerant culture that offers locals and tourists complete freedom, here are some of the main reasons why you should make Bahrain your next travel destination.
It’s The Home Of Multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites
This small nation has a rich history which you can immerse yourself in with a visit to several ancient sites. Qal’at al-Bahrain is an ancient fort that has origins stretching back to 2,300 B.C., while the Dilmun Burial Mounds provide an insight into the culture of one of the Middle East’s oldest civilizations.
Culinary Delights
This country is filled with scrumptious food, ranging from its Khubz flatbread to falafel, Keema (minced meat), and Bahraini machboos (spiced chicken and rice). There is also a wide array of authentic international dishes to make for a diverse food tour.
Formula 1
If you’re looking for a sports vacation package, or more specifically Formula 1, then Bahrain may just be the destination for you. Every year, the nation hosts the Bahrain Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. When you’re not unwinding on Bahrain’s golden beaches, enjoy the thrill of witnessing the world’s highest level of racing in person.
