Bahrain...a very quiet port, visited during a cruise port stop, nothing much was happening on the island, except for a few shops...while driving around it appears serene and clean. The port itself was clean and comfortable and affords us some lovely photos of the ship on a cool temperate day in March...Lovely sunsets in the evening for sure.
