More about Bahrain

Bahrain [or bax ra ɪ n], officially Arab Mamlakat Bahrain, German Kingdom of Bahrain, the island state off the north east coast of the Arabian Peninsula in the Persian Gulf with (2019) 1.6 million residents; The capital is Manama.

Location

The state of Bahrain consists of over 20 mostly uninhabited islands and archipelagos. The islands of Muharrak (23 km 2 , with 16%) in the northeast and Sitra (30 km 2 , with 7%) in the east are connected by bridges to the main island of Bahrain (578 km 2 , with 76% of the total population of Bahrain). The flat limestone plateau of the main island (the other islands are sand accumulations) reaches a maximum height of 134 m above sea level in Jabal ad-Dukhan.

Climate

In the desert-like climate with irregular rainfall averaging 81 mm per year, only the freshwater springs in the northwest of the island offered starting points for early settlement (around 100,000 burial mounds from the period 5000 BC to 200 AD).

Population

The population has more than doubled in the last 25 years, not least because of the large number of immigrant workers. Overall, over 50% of the population are foreigners (mostly from South Asia, Iran). In addition to the state language Arabic and the business language English, Farsi, Urdu and others are used. Languages ​​spoken.

The average population density (2017) is 1 936 residents / km 2 , but only four of the 36 islands are inhabited. 89% of the population live in cities, mainly in Manama (on the main island) and Muharrak (on Muharrak Island).

Social: The standard of living is high. Citizens benefit from extensive social benefits. The health care system is of a high standard; medical care is free.

Religion

The constitution defines Islam as the state religion and protects the right to exercise one’s religion freely, also in relation to non-Islamic religions. The ruling house is committed to Sunni Islam. More than 70% of the total population (including foreigners living in Bahrain) are Muslims (mostly Shiites). The foreigners living in Bahrain form religious minorities (Christians, Hindus, Bahais). Of the Christians (Catholics, Anglicans, Protestants, Orthodox) estimated to be just under 15% of the population, around 12% belong to the Catholic Church (Apostolic Vicariate Northern Arabia, seat: Bahrain [Manama], since 2012). The minority of the Hindus is also significant with about 10% of the total population.

Formula 1 on the Arabian Peninsula

In April 2004, a Formula 1 race was held for the first time in Bahrain. The ruling family al-Khalifa had a race track built in the desert 30 km south of the capital Manama near Sakhir. The Aachen architect Hermann Tilke had the 5.417 km long “Bahrain International Circuit” circuit(* 1955) built on behalf of the operating company of the same name (“Bahrain International Circuit”, abbreviation BIC). The eye-catcher of the route is an eight-story tower (“Sakhir Tower”), the top floor of which is reserved for the ruling family. In total, the route cost around 250 million US dollars, half of which can be divided into construction costs and infrastructure measures. Uncertainty is the constant wind, which repeatedly blows sand onto the track, which can make the asphalt as smooth as a marble floor. Tilke explained that the sand on the track is quite desirable, that it should induce the drivers to make slight driving errors in order to enable overtaking maneuvers.

BIC wants to use the track all year round if possible – not just for Formula 1 races, but for various events. Five different sections of the track offer opportunities for test drives in Formula 1 or automobile companies, and there are also tracks for kart or drag racing. Bahrain is hoping for a strong increase in tourism from the circuit. The country wants to broaden its economic base and reduce its dependence on oil. Above all, one aims at wealthy customers from neighboring Saudi Arabia. The importance as a financial and economic center in the Gulf region is to be strengthened. Compared to the strictly conservative Saudi Arabia, Bahrain is considered liberal, so that numerous visitors from Riyadh, which is only four hours away, drive to the neighboring country on the weekends.
