i <3 Ba7rain..
it just such a quite cool place… can’t wait til next month where am gOing to meet my friends there.. ^_^
hmmmm, beer & gulf run.
Bahrain rocks.
I’m guessing this post is someway related to alcohol being allowed there :) am i right?
lol alcohol and what it can do…
no one can do nothing but lovin’ it
It should be called Bah-booze-rain
well booze is allowed n dubai as well…i don’t c mark gush’n about it every time he steps foot there…
so i guess its not the booze..its the coziness of this cute tiny island
dont forge to try the traditional “tikka abul” ..za best
Good things come in small packets, always!
The working man’s mantra in Kuwait should read :” Slog hard harder and hardest in Kuwait so that you may then splurge and indulge your senses in Beirut, Cairo, Dubai or Bahrain.”
me too
You are retards. The fact that Bahrain is an open-minded and liberaly country doesn’t deem it necessary for you to take the liberty in calling it Bah-booze-rain. As Bahrainis we find it quite frustrating to have some GCC neigbhors flocking our country just to take advantage of the liberties that we have – alchohol, fine dining, awesome movie theaters, and kick as* shopping. Unfortunately, your GCC citizens give you a bad name because they drive over here, drunk like there’s no tomororw, get behind the wheel, and drive killing so many Bahrainis as they speed back home.
it’s nice for a weekend only.
Guys, booze can be found anywhere, you don’t hear people walking around saying I love Qatar. For my taste, the warmth and coziness you experience when you get to bahrain is unrivalled in the region.
Sure, it may not be as glitzy, nor as Russian, as Dubai, but it’s a hundred times more authentic. It’s like our own little Key west, sans Ernest Hemingway, right here in the Arabian Gulf.
I’m with you Mark; I love Bahrain, too.
Its not about the alcohol, if it was yeah I would love Dubai also but I don’t. Bahrain is just a very relaxing and cozy place.
Dubai is a shit-pit. Anyone who says it’s not is simply lying to themselves.
My experience of Bahrain was like love at first sight. Had a fourteen hour stay back in 2004 there while traveling to Kuwait and those turned out to be one of my life’s most beautiful moments. Walked all the way from Bahrain’s main market to Bahrain mall. It was all so green, water was crystal clear, Pearl Round About was magnificent. Above all, photography was fully allowed “anywhere”.
It was April and was probably the first F1 event being arranged on Bahrain’s circuit. There were billboards of that all over the place. One shop in Bahrain mall had NOS cylinders available. I don’t know if their were any legalities attached with their purchase but it was the first time I saw that stuff for sale in my life.
The police there are so nice and humble even to expats like us, totally unlike Kuwait. One even helped us take snaps in Bahrain Mall.
That was the only time I have ever been to Bahrain and I am dying to visit there again.
So do I, sniff,…, goes hiding back in her corner,…., jealous,…….
;)
In many ways, the tiny island of Failaka is comparable to Bahrain – the kingdom minus its “supposedly glitzy hotels” and a thriving red light district.
I love Bahrain, its the first place I achieved success until I left it for 23 years….. Got a call and am back here. Its blow hot – blow cold – and within such a small and beautiful place – You get your moneies worth.
God willing, I wish to die here too. ;)
Bahrain isnt about the booze. Im British and grew up there from the age of 2, Im not 27 and still go back every year to visit familly still in bahrain.
Its changed allot but still has a fantastic cosey feel to which has been mentioned allot in this thread! The alcohol just provides more of a freedom for its visitors and provides that night vibe that makes bahrain so special!
The Sea during the day is the place to be! Go visit Jaradah
love you Bahrain
I fell in love with Bahrain within hours…its truly a special place. I will go back again and again to this beautiful country.
I came to Bahrain 7 months back. Since then, I started loving this place, and it’s just growing day by day. I don’t feel like I’m in a gulf country,it’s just like any other place. It’s my second home.
