Country Summary

The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island country situated in western Asia. An archipelago of around fifty natural islands and thirty manmade islands, it is positioned in the Persian Gulf, between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It is connected to Saudi Arabia by the King Fahad Causeway. The capital is Manama.
Bahrain was the home of the Dilmun civilization. It was one of the Prophet Muhammed’s first areas of influence in the seventh century. Since 1783, the country has been ruled by the Al Khalifa family. It became a British protectorate in the late 1800s and gained independence in 1971. It is a constitutional monarchy and divided into five governorates.
For centuries, Bahrain has been renowned for its pearl fisheries, but in 1931, oil was discovered and production began. Bahrain has been heavily reliant on oil and petroleum products, and they remain its main exports. Responding to a need for diversification, Bahrain has developed and invested in its service sector, particularly finance and tourism. The city of Manama is home to many financial structures and institutions. Whilst Bahrain is a popular destination for visitors from neighbouring countries, it is becoming more popular with tourists from further afield. Aluminium and construction materials are also important exports for Bahrain, but it imports a lot of food. Despite diversification, unemployment remains an issue, especially amongst younger sector of society. Over 85% of the population live in or around urban areas.
The main religion of Bahrain is Islam, but it remains very tolerant of other faiths. Music, art and literature, especially poetry, are important components of its cultural heritage. Expressionism, surrealism and calligraphy are amongst a wide range of artistic influences. Bahrain organises several festivals each year. Soccer is the most popular sport, but Bahrain is recognised on the cricket and martial arts circuit. It hosts a Formula One Grand Prix annually.
On the world stage, Bahrain is a member of the United Nations and the Arab League.
