top Tips for travelling to Bahrain
Despite having ample coastline, the island only has relatively few public beaches because much of the land has been reclaimed, although most of the top hotels and resorts have their own beaches. Visit a souq (marketplace) and have a tailor custom make your favourite clothes within a week.
Global Affairs Canada advises travellers to Bahrain to exercise a high degree of caution while in the country because of the threat of terrorist attacks or violent demonstrations.
