Manama cruise port guide
A cruise to the Orient also offers the opportunity to discover the Kingdom of Bahrain: the archipelago lies exactly between Saudi Arabia and the emirate of Qatar, the world's richest country. The total of 33 islands extend with the main island of Bahrain in a bay between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Bahrain. The archipelago owes its name to this location, because the Arabic “Al-Bahrain” means “two seas”. Bahrain impresses with the dazzling metropolis of Manama and historical sights. Its oriental mosques, magnificent palaces and ancient temples extend against the backdrop of magnificent natural beauty. Golden beaches and extensive desert landscapes invite you to a variety of activities.
