Introduction to Bahrain
The Kingdom of Bahrain a name that translates as “Two Seas” is actually an archipelago of 33 low-lying islands located in the heart of the Gulf. Situated along major Arabian and international trade routes between Asia and the West, the Kingdom has, for millennia, served as an important port and center of business. The capital city of Manama is a vibrant cosmopolitan center offering an open economy and an educated workforce enhanced by modern cultural amenities like museums, shopping, restaurants and fine hotels.
Human Development
Bahrain is consistently one of the top Middle Eastern countries in the United Nations Development Program’s (UNDP) annual index on human development. The UNDP’s report tracks statistics like access to medicine and medical care, life expectancy, infant mortality and availability of safe drinking water. Bahrain ranks proudly among the top countries in those important yardsticks.
