Bahrain





Thursday was our last port of call on the cruise, Manama Bahrain. We were so pleased to have our tour guide from last year, the beautiful, young, Bahraini lady, Nada. She gives a delightful insight into their culture from a woman’s perspective, and also make it clear what differences there are between the various Arab countries. She toured us through the national museum, past the mosque, through the downtown which boasts really stunning buildings, and out to the Bahrain Fort. A visit to a camel farm preceded our drive out to the middle of the causeway leading to Saudi Arabia, where we went to the top of the view tower so we could see across the water into Saudi Arabia. Nada plans to marry within the next year and we wish her all the best!
