Tourism in Bahrain
Bahrain receives four million tourists a year. Most visitors are from Arab states of the Persian Gulf but there are an increasing number of tourists from outside the region.The ancient civilisation of Dilmun, which dominated trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley Civilization, was centred in Bahrain. The inhabitants of Dilmun left behind settlements and temples and tens of thousands of burial mounds which dot the landscape.
Tourists are attracted to Bahrain for the weather, unique ambience (which is completely different from the average European package experience), diving and water sports, local culture and the relaxed friendly atmosphere. Bahrain also enjoys a liberal social climate, good shopping and minimal travel restrictions.

Currency Museum

Never was this truer than when delving into the history and monies of Bahrain as so clearly demonstrated in the recent opening, to worldwide acclaim, of Bahrain's currency museum. Some four years in the making, the museum opened in February 1999 and has attracted a stream of visitors ever since. Visitors are led through a multi-media tour of the currency history of Bahrain demonstrating the central role it has played throughout the history of the Persian Gulf. Some of the rarest coins in the Arab world are to be found in the museum.
In addition to its coin and Bahraini banknotes in the museum a new permanent stand of the first banknotes and coins issued by the central banks of all the Gulf Cooperation Council countries has been added.
