Bahrain is one of the very fast growing countries around the Arab world and is considered as a major tourist centers in Middle East. Some major development has been made in last few years to make country more tourist attractive. Though Bahrain is a very small country but it still has a potential to generate a good revenue and maintains good standard of living. Lets look at some of the renowned places in Bahrain where I have been so far:

This is Bahrain's Financial Harbor building, the tallest and modern building on the main Bahrain highway.

Mosques in Bahrain are very attractive and some of them are kept as historic. Al Fateh Grand Mosque is the biggest on island.

This is Bahrain World Trade Center the most renowned structure in Bahrain. It is close to main (King Faisal) highway. This unique structure is a tower complex connected with three bridges having wind tribunes on it. These tribunes helps in power generation that is consumed in building. Making of this structure is also covered in National Geographic as one of the mega structures.
