Bahrain, UAE

Crossing to Bahrain felt like arriving at the crossroads of ancient civilization and modern flair. The island nation may be small, but its history runs deep — and its people radiate warmth and pride.

I wandered through the Bahrain Fort, explored the Manama Souq, and admired the sleek skyline rising behind centuries-old mosques. The National Museum gave fascinating insight into Bahrain’s past as a center of trade and pearl diving. Evenings brought lively cafés, seafront walks, and that familiar Gulf sunset glow — the perfect closing note to an unforgettable journey.
