Was stationed here for 2 and a half months over 2 deployments in the early 90's. The people were amazing and the culture unexpected. Bahrain broke every expectation I had of the Gulf "Cultures". The other guys on my ship (CV-62 USS Independence) were absolutely furious I got to stay here while they hit ports like Jubal 'Ali and Mumbai where Islamic law was in full affect.

Thank you for the video, I was there with my parents in 1957 - 67 years ago, can you believe it, we lived in Manama and we went to school in Muharraq and we travelled along the causeway to get there. Awali was a town in the desert and housed the Oil Company and it employees, there was also a refinery there. Dad used to take us out into the desert and I can remember seeing Bedouin Tents , Goat Herds with his goats, camels roaming, and you could smell them before you ever saw them. Wonderful memories, I would love to go back tomorrow if I could.

[@noorebrahim7069]

You'll be so shocked if you visit Bahrain today, it has changed a lot, yet you can still see the old features of the country standing still .. you should visit one day .. no tents, deserts can't be seen easily through the architecture

It was like a small lake. So my lovely desert has gone now, such a shame, we used to travel on what could loosely be described as a once was a tarmac track, not a road by a means to get there.

You will still see the old landmarks hanging on in between. You will enjoy it . Locals are more conservative than they used to but coexistence still exist Seems like the road was to the south ?

I miss Bahrain. We were there back & forth from 1980-1990 and stayed for 3-4 months (March-June) during our school Summer break yearly because of my Father's job benefits from Gulf Air. We love over there the Raft races, camel racing (as well as horse racing), swimming at the famous Sheik Beach, shopping at the souq, going to American & British Clubs and every other day, we'll just go with our Dad to his Bowling tournaments at Bushiri Bowling centre. Our stay in Bahrain have left us great memories and really love Bahrain. Thanks for sharing this video!
