Overview of Bahrain
Like an oyster, Bahrain has a rough exterior that takes some prising open, but it’s always worth the effort. Manama may lack the finesse of other Gulf capitals, but that’s key to its appeal. The storied location of ancient Dilmun and the epicentre of the Gulf’s pearling past – Bahrain has a history to reflect on with pride. There’s even a cheeky claim that it was home to the Garden of Eden. Nowadays the country has its own Formula 1 grand prix, a growing art and foodie scene frequented by Manama’s sizeable expat population, and all the hallmarks of wealth, modern Arabian style.
Languages
The official language of the country is Arabic, however most people in and out of the workplace communicate in English. There are so many different nationalities in Bahrain and therefore English finds common ground with most people. The majority of road, shop signs, and restaurant menus etc. are in both English and Arabic.
Electricity
The Bahrain electricity supply is 230 volts AC 50 HZ.
