One of the Gulf's most important commercial crossroads for over 4,000 years
Strategically located in the heart of the Arabian Gulf, with rapid access by road, sea and air to the GCC's $1.5tn market, Bahrain comprises 33 islands and a cosmopolitan capital city, Manama. With an attractive liberal lifestyle and a rich history and culture, the Gulf Kingdom represents a popular destination for businesses and tourists alike, with a total population exceeding 1.4 million people.
Today, in an effort to diversify its oil-dominated dependence, Bahrain's economy stands as the most diversified in the region, with particular strengths in financial services, technology sectors and related industries.
