About Bahrain
The Kingdom of Bahrain, in Arabic: Mamlakat al-Ba?rayn, is the smallest Arab state. Qatar lies to the south across the Gulf of Bahrain. The Qatar–Bahrain Friendship Bridge being planned will link Bahrain to Qatar as the longest fixed link in the world. Bahrain was declared a kingdom in 2002. Among Bahrain's cities and towns are: Al Manama, Al Muharraq, Hamad Town, Isa Town, Riffa, Jidhafs Sitrah and Al-Hidd.

In a region experiencing an oil boom, Bahrain has the fastest growing economy in the Arab world, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia found in January 2006. Bahrain also has the freest economy in the Middle East according to the 2006 Index of Economic Freedom published by the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal, and is twenty-fifth freest overall in the world.

Culture in Bahrain
Bahrain is described as a country that mixes modern infrastructure with a Gulf identity, but unlike other countries in the Middle East region its prosperity is not only a reflection of the size of its oil wealth, but also related to the creation of an indigenous middle class. While Islam is the main religion, Bahrainis have been known for their tolerance, and alongside mosques can be found churches, a Hindu temple, a Sikh Gurdwara and a Jewish synagogue.

The city of Juffair is the location of the U.S.Naval Support Activity, Bahrain. The concentration of western restaurants, bars and the prevalence of prostitution, make this city a magnet for U.S. service members and Saudi Arabians. On weekends the Saudis cross the causeway to escape the restrictive culture of Saudi Arabia.

Tourism
Bahrain is a popular tourist destination in the Arab World with over eight million tourists a year. Most of the visitors are from the surrounding Arab states but there is an increasing number of tourists from outside the region thanks to a growing awareness of the kingdom’s rich heritage and its higher profile with regards to the Bahrain Formula One Race Track. The Lonely Planet describes Bahrain as "an excellent introduction to the Persian Gulf" because of its authentic Arab heritage and reputation as relatively liberal and modern. The kingdom combines Arab culture, Gulf glitz and the archaeological legacy of five thousand years of civilization. The island is home to castles including Qalat Al Bahrain which has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. In Bahrain you will find more and more luxurious hotels.

The Bahrain National Museum has artifacts from the country's history dating back to the island's first human inhabitation 9000 years ago. Bahrai also host more and more important art galleries, which show a mix of Arab and Western art.
