Bahrain, 1993 Bahrain (from the Arabic word for "two seas") comprises an archipelago of thirty-three islands situated midway in the Persian Gulf close to the shore of the Arabian Peninsula. The islands are about twenty-four kilometers from the east coast of Saudi Arabia and twenty-eight kilometers from Qatar. The total area of the islands is about 691 square kilometers, or about four times the size of the District of Columbia. The largest island, accounting for 83 percent of the area, is Bahrain (also seen as Al Bahrayn), which has an extent of 572 square kilometers. From north to south, Bahrain is forty-eight kilometers long; at its widest point in the north, it is sixteen kilometers from east to west (see fig. 6 Around most of Bahrain is a relatively shallow inlet of the Persian Gulf known as the Gulf of Bahrain. The seabed adjacent to Bahrain is rocky and, mainly off the northern part of the island, covered by extensive coral reefs. Most of the island is low-lying and barren desert. Outcroppings of limestone form low rolling hills, stubby cliffs, and shallow ravines. The limestone is covered by various densities of saline sand, capable of supporting only the hardiest desert vegetationchiefly thorn trees and scrub. There is a fertile strip five kilometers wide along the northern coast on which date, almond, fig, and pomegranate trees grow. The interior contains an escarpment that rises to 134 meters, the highest point on the island, to form Jabal ad Dukhan (Mountain of Smoke), named for the mists that often wreathe the summit. Most of the country's oil wells are situated in the vicinity of Jabal ad Dukhan.

Bahrain Business Directory Websites Directory Make Friends TheBahrain.com - know everything about Bahrain. Bahrain Geography The Kingdom of Bahrain consists of an archipelago of 33 small islands situated halfway down the Arabian Gulf an has a combined area about the size of Singapore. The main island lies almost midway between Saudi Arabia to the west and Qatar to the east. Iran is about 200km northeast across the Gulf. The largest island of the cluster is Bahrain island (586.5 Sq. km) from which the Kingdom takes its name. The main island, where most development is concentrated, is quite flat with Jebel Ad-Dukhan, the highest point, only 130m above sea level. Two bridges to Muharraq, the second largest island, and one to Sitra further south connect Bahrain. To the southeast lies a group of 16 small islands; the largest of these, Hawar, being similar in shape to Bahrain, hence its name which means 'young camel' in Arabic. The majority of the surrounding islands are uninhabited; except for a huge variety of migrating birds that make these islands their home annually. The afore-mentioned King Fahd causeway which was opened in 1986, has made Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar and beyond directly accessible by road from Bahrain.
