Travel to Bahrain

In Bahrain, witnesses say riot police have tried to disperse protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets.

 

The clashes took place as officers attempted to stop people gathering for a major rally in the capital, Manama.

 

It follows demonstrations on Sunday, with protesters calling for reform in the island kingdom.

 

Bahrain has Sunni muslim rulers but the population is 70 per cent Shia, who claim they are regularly discriminated against.

" In solitude she lived,

And in solitude built her nest;

And in solitude, alone

Hath the Beloved guided her,

In solitude also wounded with love "

Bab Al Bahrain is a historical building located in the Customs Square in Manama's former central business district. It marks the main entrance to the Manama Souq. Bab Al Bahrain once stood close to the water's edge.

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.
