Bahrain Island is the largest and most populous island in the archipelago, home to the capital Manama, ancient burial mounds, and the sweeping desert of the interior. Visitors can explore the bustling souqs and skyscrapers of Manama, then drive south to the Tree of Life or the oil fields. The coastline offers beaches and the Bahrain Bay development, while the interior reveals a stark, beautiful desert dotted with archaeological sites.
