The Middle Eastern nation which packs a lot into a small space, Bahrain is a fascinating, futuristic island nation that sits between the countries of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the Persian Gulf.

Mysterious Manama

Manama could be considered the modern heart of Bahrain, but there's plenty of things to do when it comes to Bahrain's culture and history. Make a pilgrimage to the Al Fateh Grand Mosque to marvel at its grand scale. Designed to hold over 7,000 worshippers at any one time, the mosque is one of the largest in the world. Feeling the need for some retail therapy? Running south from the Bab Al Bahrain and only a short bus ride from your serviced apartment you'll find the Manama Souq, a warren of alleys and narrow roads stacked end-to-end with purveyors of fine... everything. Traditional Arabic pastry and sweets shops rub shoulders with fabric merchants, spice merchants and of course some delightfully flavourful food. Speaking of food, after a night out you may want to stop by ''Shawarma Alley'', otherwise known as Osama Bin Zaid Avenue. A bunch of traditional shawarma cafeterias sit cheek by jowl, trying to outdo each other in the pursuit of the perfect shawarma

An ancient legacy

Bahrain was one of the first regions to convert to Islam in the time of Muhammad. Its long and proud relationship with Islam can be seen in its impressive Islamic cultural sites, mosques and the Beit Al Quran, or 'House of Quaran' in the Hoora district, conveniently close to your serviced apartments in the Diplomatic Area. The Beit Al Quran houses an impressive collection of ancient and rare Qurans, the holy book of Islam, as well as Islamic artefacts and examples of Islam's unique flowing calligraphy. The Khamis Mosque, located west of Manama, is thought to be the oldest mosque in Bahrain with a heritage stretching back to the end of the 7th-century. Although in ruins, the site is immaculately preserved and you can almost feel the history swirling around you.

Getting to and getting around Bahrain

Getting to your apartment in Bahrain is quick and easy. Bahrain International Airport services the small island nation and all international flights land here. The easiest way to arrive at your serviced apartment is to take a taxi or a private hire from the airport, a journey of fewer than 10 kilometres for both Fraser Suites Diplomatic Area and Fraser Suites Seef Bahrain.
