And in solitude built her nest;
And in solitude, alone
Hath the Beloved guided her,
In solitude also wounded with love "

Jay and I were in Bahrain for two and a half years while I was teaching at the Bahraini Air Force. I arrived in January of 1989 and we ventured onward to Dubai in the middle of 1991. We lived in several locations during our time on the island.

"Historically, this is one of the most important sites in Bahrain. The fort, located on the north coast, was built in the 14th century, but excavations in the area reveal it to be the site of settlements dating back to the Dilmun era, or around 3000 BC. The fort itself is very much a part of Bahrain's history. In the early 1500s, the Portuguese saw Bahrain as a key point to protect their trade routes between India, Africa and Europe. They invaded the island and set up military base at the Bahrain Fort. They strengthened the perimeter and erected new stone towers. The fort is still sometimes referred to as the Portuguese Fort." - from Bahrainguide.org

In 2006, just before I started my first "real" job, we went on a trip to the Middle-East: Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, back to the Emirates, to Oman and back to the Emirates.
I went with a Dutch friend from school with Moroccan roots and who could speak Arabic and another Dutch friend that I met during an internship in South-Africa in 2003.
At that time, tourism wasn't that big in these countries. What I can remember is that the flight was around €500. We flew on a old ass Alitalia B767: Amsterdam - Rome - Dubai.
Air Arabia: Dubai - Bahrain was €40. Al Jazeera Airlines: Bahrain to Kuwait was €40 and €50 back to Dubai. We rented a car in Bahrain and Emirates and drove to Oman.
It was a fantastic trip. We didn't have a plan. Holidays were much more relaxed and much more an adventure in those days.
