Local Airports In Bahrain
- Bahrain International Airport, Bahrain, Asia
While in Bahrain, visit a local suk, which is a marketplace with jewelry, tailors, and various gifts. Another interesting thing to do while visiting Bahrain is to visit the Bahrain currency museum. There are samples of coins that were circulated in the country, and also Indian and Gulf banknotes. There are also official documents that were created by the Bahrain Monetary Agency about the use of Bahraini banknotes and coins, with enough information and photographs about the role of the Agency. One can also visit a renovated pearl merchant's home, or the excavations at Saar, which is a 4000 year old town. There have been a lot of artifacts found in that town, and some of them are on display at the Bahrain National Museum. One item on display is a perfectly preserved pearl, claimed to be the world's oldest. The Muharraq Museum may be small, but it has a lot of fascinating archaeological finds that tell of the island's past. It has an in depth manuscript section, which includes well-illustrated texts in Arabic and English, drawings and photographs, and several beautiful, calligraphy copies of the Quran.
