Manama

Bahrain
Someday we will visit Manama or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Manama

Manama is the capital and largest city of Bahrain with an approximate population of 157,000 people, roughly a quarter of the country's population.

The country attracts a large number of foreigners and foreign influences, with just under one-third of the population hailing from abroad. Alcohol is legal in the country, with bars and nightclubs operating in the city. Bahrain gave women the right to vote in elections for the first time in 2002. Football is the most popular sport in Manama (and the rest of the country), with three teams from Manama participating in the Bahraini Premier League.

The city is located in the north-eastern corner of Bahrain on a small peninsula. As in the rest of Bahrain, the land is generally flat (or gently rolling) and arid.
