Bahrain

Visa for Bahrain

Bahrain, an archipelago in the Middle East, is popular around the world for being distinctly Arab, without the strict laws of a Muslim minority. It is in the beautiful Persian Gulf, which makes it a perfect destination for those seeking an experience in the beauty of the Middle East, near Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Compared to other surrounding countries, Bahrain is socially liberal, and alcohol is legal. It is one of the social and shopping meccas of the world, and you’ll see many socialites spending weekends there to get the most unique clothing and material items anywhere in the world. Famous for its tropical beaches, Bahrain is truly a perfect destination for more reasons than one. Some of its major cities include Manama, Jidd Hafs, Jufair, and Sitrah.
