Thank you for the beautiful pictures. My husband is currently stationed in Bahrain and is nice to have some quality photos to share with our daughters of where their daddy is living. It is nice to see a mix of historical points and modern life shown in your photo gallery.

I am American and have lived in Bahrain for the past 3 1/2 years. The people of Bahrain do not hate Americans, however you must keep in mind that most Bahrainies have never been to America and therefore learn about us from TV and from interactions with the military members stationed here, unfortunately a large percentage of those interaction are negative due to our ignorance of the Islamic culture and a better than you attitude both of which are typically ingrained in the youth of todays military. If you treat Bahrainies with respect you will be warmly welcomed and treated respectfully. Note: Do not confuse Saudis for Bahrainies, Not All but most Saudis are extremely rude and have no respect for others,especially while Driving!

Terrific pictures. Spent my childhood in Bahrain and in later years have organised "trips down memory lane" - to date have taken over 600 people in small groups of 20-30. Next one in October next.

Hello i am a Naval student at a Military College in the U.S.
Do the people of bahrain hate Americans? and how can we blend in?

I see some negative comments about Bahrain -- and am astonished. We spent 5 years living in Bahrain, and it was one of the most wonderful experiences I've had. We loved the multi-cultural environment. I spend a lot of my time back in the states telling people how much we enjoyed it and would go back in a minute. Also explaining the culture, which many just don't seem to understand. Wonderful country, wonderful times. Thanks Brian .. for your fantastic photos of a beautiful country .. and for taking us back down memory lane.

Hi - do you have any photos of the Kings National Monument on the palace grounds?
M. I. Sayed 28-Aug-2007 14:56
I am very impressed with the architectural Monuments & extraordinary efforts by the
Kingdom of Bahrain. The Hard work of the BAHRAIN Govt. is really appreciative.
If was the King , I would have given Exra Rewards to Our Nation's Employe.

hi. i was there in bahrain last 2001. i worked there for only 5 months.i enjoyed my stay in that beautiful country. if ever i have a choice, i would rather settle in state of bahrain, together with different races. i find it very peaceful and many more interesting ideas...i just wish that his majesty will continue supporting all the people in his kingdom...the way i supported them when i was there...

It bothers me dearly that people have a very bad perception of the Middle East. Bahrain is one of the most advanced countries not only in the GCC, but in the Middle East. It is an Island that is not dependant on oil or natural gas. Bahrain in a kingdom that earns it's living. What Arab country let alone GCC country has a church (several) mosques, Hindu temple and a synagogue all in one place? I have visited Bahrain several times, and the more I visit it, the more I fall in love with it. You have everything you can possibly want. You can grab a beer with your buddies at countless locations, or have a nice quite and romantic dinner with your wife or girl friend. Yes, girl friend, you can hold her hand and no one will bother you or say anything to you. FREEDOM!! That is how I like to describe Bahrain. I have lived in the US for years, and if I can be impressed with bahrain from what I saw in the US and Europe, then the kingdom is impressive. Do not judge the country because you see pictures of Saudi Arabia. Weather you are an EXPAT or a local, you are treated equally. Everything I have mentioned, I know based o experience I have traveled with several of my friends there, and they are planning to move there. Oh by the way, Bahrain is the first GCC country to have a free trade agreement with the US.
RJ 11-Mar-2007 13:17
The pictures are very good. Its been four years since i've been to Bahrain and now i am living in Dubai. As they all say that this is the most advanced and progressive city in the Middle East....but it lacks one main ingredient in life....and that is peace of mind. Bharain on the other hand has everything like Dubai......it may not be as developed as Dubai, but still it is a place where i would love to live my life...gracefully and peacefully.
Ijtaba Mehdi 26-Feb-2007 09:34

Kate 01-Feb-2007 12:28
You have captured Bahrain from its best angle - some beautiful photographs which give a rather blinkered version of the country. My over-riding impression of the country is one of rubbish strewn streets and coastline, pollution pouring into the sea, non-stop land reclamation destroying the coastline, traffic jams and shopping malls. Sadly, such topics don't make picture postcard images; what a shame your images are not a reflection of the country as it is today.
junaidi 23-Jan-2007 07:07
fabulous pics. interesting angles and lightings manouver.
great fingers and sights Allah awarded you.
jfitriani 20-Jan-2007 21:21

Kirsty Pops 07-Dec-2006 13:58
Wow! Thank you for posting these photos on the internet for all to see. My mother lived in Bahrain for 4 years and her husband is from Bahrain. These photos have just given me a trip down memory lane, I didnt know I could feel happy and sad at the same time. Thank you. Kirsty Pops xxx
Richard 07-Dec-2006 12:31
Bahrain sure has changed since I was there in 1963! I think the biggest attraction then was the camel racing, and for night life the floating Indian restaurant in a creek just out of town.
zywaylee 26-Oct-2006 21:35

I spent three days in Bahrain and I fell in love with the country and its people! Lovely pictures...lots of memories!
Dewey Patton 19-Jul-2006 18:18
Thanks for the memories - Bahrain is such a wonderful and charming place. I made several visits after the Gulf War in 1991, some by car, some by bus. Looks like so much has changed since then but even so, I want to return with my family and share the experience. Bahrain has the effect of never leaving you I suppose. Hope the people are still as nice to Americans in these troubled times we live in.
Juan 09-Jul-2006 10:49
