I heard aot about Bahrain all which seemed a little surreal. Alcahol all around, prostitutes walking the streets and bars and of course the guys that will sell you a tank or ballistic misile. It was an incredibly long and boring 4 hour drive to the Saudi/Bahrain causeway through some of the most unspectacular desert imaginable, and I got lost at the end. Finally met my driver on the causeway who would take me across and to my hotel, which I hadn’t booked.
I walked around the next day and what a shock, firstly absolutely no interesting architecture or people and secondly absolutely no prostitutes anyway. I didn’t bother trying to find the guy selling tanks. This is seriously boring city, I can’t see one redeeming feature or reason to visit, stayed at the hotel next day by the pool.
I should point out that thousands of people visit Bahrain every week, all with one unified purpose, prostitutes. I found out later that you stay at the 3 star hotels, not 5 star, and you just order them with your room service....not that I would of course.
The only thing interesting to photograph was the buildings lit up at night decorated beyond belief.
