The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island nation located in the Persian Gulf. It consists of an archipelago of 33 islands, the largest of which is Bahrain Island. Since 1986, Bahrain Island has been connected by a causeway to Saudi Arabia, the King Fahd Causeway. An additional causeway is planned in future that will link Bahrain to Qatar.

As of 2008, the population of Bahrain was estimated as being 791,000. The country's capital and largest city is Manama which, as of 2001, had a population of 162,000, with 345,000 people in total living in the combined city and metropolitan area.

People have lived on the islands of Bahrain for over six thousand years. There are traces of their lives scattered across the landscape or hidden in the sands: burial mounds, villages, palaces, temples, and forts. This guidebook introduces readers to Bahrain's rich and varied past, and takes them to some of the most important sites in the Kingdom. Using the evidence from decades of archaeological work it not only details what can be seen by the visitor today, but how people once lived, worked and worshipped here. It is an indispensable guide for residents and visitors to Bahrain's unique heritage.
