Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Mr Gabriel i don't know who gave u the wrong information about Bahrain 😇 i don't think it was a local national Bahraini 🤔
U can live with who ever u like girl friend or boy friend which ever suits u & nobody wl question u!
U can wear shorts anywhere u like!
Its very open free country & it has the best social life in GCC.
In other GCC wn going out u hardly can meet real locals of the country to mingle with but in Bahrain locals r everywhere socialising & they r very easy goings😀
Other GCC countries u mostly meet expats not locals & hardly get to know the the real people of that country but Bahraini r very hospitable welcome people so its easy to get friends!👍 enjoy ur stay 🇧🇭🍺
Good to know. Maybe those were old rules that I came across online or official rules that aren't enforced.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos most official rules shown online by foreign media r not true or only mentioned in black/white but its not applied in reality.
Note: Bahrain 1st state in the GCC which had/hv airport university women rights bars clubs mix accommodation & most European were living working in Bahrain during the country boom period but as u mentioned our natural resources got weak & economy too
Otherwise Bahraini people highly educated & very friendly hospitable accommodating to others.
I was born 1963 & seen lived it all.
By the way 1st international airport & airline in GCC were here *Gulf Air*
If u need further information plz don't hesitate & i now live in Dubai 😀
Great, thanks a lot for all the info.

I am basically from Nepal, my father works in Bahrain and it's been 10 years he has been working there. He only come in 3 years for 3 months due to his work.

You said it best Gabriel: when you travel anywhere, you should always "be careful and respectful" of the culture and its people. Also, your video brings back fond memories when I was there in 2016 : )

Im comparing it with my second country Yemen in souk you'll find paper bags everywhere ooh no 😂😂😂
I was born and raised here till the age of 15 then moving on to India for future studies.. Now in Canada.. Bahrain will always be close to my heart ♥️
Bahrain is the best country I have ever lived in! Thank you to the Bahrainis who have welcomed me and made my time very enjoyable one! At some point in the future, I would be extremely happy to move back there.
Bahrain is such a nice place.more then that specially the people from this country is so humble.i have been here for 9 years.and here still I am earning a living.really such a peaceful country.fell like home.
Bahraini here, I hope you enjoyed your stay in my country 🇧🇭
@Alexender the Great 🛡️🏹 ummm yea, we exist lol
How ar you ?
Bahrain, my mother country has changed so much since I left in 1968 and revisited it in 1970. The Souq is so modernized now... it used to be dark, dirty and so crowded but a fun place... even though there were many cars around, you would still see many pedestrians. So glad you mentioned Bab al Bahrain... a very iconic landmark. I'm delighted that Bahrain took an interest in preserving the Portugees Fort and introducing its history in a museum format. Bahrain was Dilmun and yes... I grew up calling it the Arabian Gulf 🇧🇭 🇺🇸
Why did you leave it at that year if i may ask? Jobs were available everything as a property was cheap?

I’ve never seen such a clean and tidy suk! Clearly a wealthy country
Clean is culture not a wealth 😉
Great video. I love seeing what is for me a little known country. The ruins and the ancient history is so fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us.
Just travel
Clean and well built! Amazing and the prices are attractive. Your room is a great deal! Markets are superior! This place deserves at least 3-4 days Gabe! Impressive and so clean. Hit the like button folks! There's no fucking trash anywhere in this video clean island!
Nonsense
Absolutely a precious coverage, thank you for showcasing the history of Bahrain.
I have watched hours and hours of Gabriel’s videos worldwide, he is a “very respectful person, gentle and good guy.
I LOVE your videos! You always have super informative commentary and choice of music is always great 💕
I agree. His vids are a work of art.
I think he was commentator before.
true dat, totally agree!!!! always the best music to suit the scene :)) thnx Gabe
Enjoyed seeing some of this country and it's ancient sites. One of the world's earliest civilizations that influenced many more because of its strategic position in the gulf.
This reminds me of the time I used to live in Saudi Arabia, My dad lived in Riyadh for 20 years and not a single time he rode a taxi with a local Saudi driver! Oh and you want to sell more oil and cars just copy paste the American city design where a lot of the infrastructure is designed for cars rather than pedestrians. Make it hard for people to interact and get around let alone being healthy. That being said, the people of Bahrain and the Arab world in general are very hospitable and welcoming to their guests, no matter where you from, and that's something I will always love about the gulf and Arab countries in general.
Oil was first discovered in Bahrain ! Thanks for the information.Bahrain looks like a modern, clean Arabian country. Thanks for your information rich video and nice relevant music.
Welcome to my country 🇧🇭❤️
Hello let’s be friends coming to bahrain next month
can you tell me how much USD for an apartment? looking to stay a while!
@@kolibridorado6682 it’s not cheap
I lived there in 1957 when I was 10 years of age, I am now in my late 70s. Gosh, what a difference it is now. One day I would love to go back.
Good to have a look inside Bahrain !
The restaurant you see at 12:56 is one of the best and cheapest places I found in Bahrain. I wish I could go back it was the best 2 years of my life
What's the name of the hotel please?
She is our beautiful little neighbour🇸🇦🇧🇭♥️.
I really enjoyed watching this longer video, fascinating history and interesting to learn more from the people you spoke to along your way. The music at the end is beautiful
Great, glad to hear it. :)
Tips for you when going to the Gulf countries,
1-Try to go in the winter because the summer is very hot
2-Transportation is almost non-existent, due to the extreme hot weather,Try to rent a car, petrol is cheap here
Very good country. I lived and worked there 35 years from 1979 to 2014.
again your choice of music is like therapy 2 the soul, thank you 4 this Gabriel, bless you in all your travels
I currently live in Bahrain, one of the best countries in Gulf.
Is it easy to find job there bro ?
I think it would have been better if u had someone from Bahrain to help you around because we do have a lot of amazing places that you won’t be able to find on the internet
Which cheap and good hotel do you recommend in manama?
Love from BAHRAIN 🇧🇭 ❤ 💕
I am a local bahraini next time you visit here lemmi know you missed on soo many places that you should go and check out in bahrain
Gab,
Good to wake up this morning and see your latest; its been a few days. By now I suspect you have made your long-awaited return to Asia, sort of like a Classic Rock band who hits the road to re-visit some of their older hits.
Steve
Brings back nostalgia from when I traveled to Qatar (which I just might do again for the world cup), Oman and the UAE! Always preferred narrow street old towns to modern glass tower structures, although it's all quite spectacular in these countries.
Not to mention the number of times I had a stopover at the Doha and Dubai airports while traveling farther east.
This is the usual route from Europe to South and Central Asia, however it'd be cool if you added some more countries under your belt and ventured from here to Africa...Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique...etc.
Wherever you're going next, or likely already are there tho, it's gonna be fascinating for sure!
Can't wait. 👍
How to did you find Qatar
@@tarny11 Huh?
you said you travelled to Qatar
Kenya and Rwanda were very fascinating on my trip how did you find them?
Did you visit India?
I lived there 1986 - 2002, th eprime of my life. The friends I made there were a gem! Oh, the Souk was my old stomping ground!
Which city do you recommend for good schools ? And Teaching jobs?
Bahrain is really beautiful ❤️❤️
BTW shorts ARE allowed. I was a Saudi resident for 6 years and have visited Bahrain many times. Occasionally transiting through the airport there, wearing shorts. 👍 Saudi on the other hand... Great video. Fantastic memories. A place I'll never be able to go to again after covid (never having that vaccine) killed all my chances of travel and my overseas career.
Freedom!! Good to know that you won't be stoned to death for wearing shorts. Bahrain seems like a pretty relaxed place where they wouldn't judge you too harshly without a good reason.
@NostaIgia thanks nostalgia. However.... my career was in the middle East, those countries allow vaccinated only in, and the client has stipulated mandatory vaccines for all contractors. So a lose lose so far as the job goes unfortunately.
@@ashleystyles6888 Really, I don't get it, what's the reason for refusing to get vaccinated?
@@PauloGaetathe_original Because it wasn't unnecessary and all of the companies are released from any liability. Also a 99%+ survival rate from the virus. Eventually all countries will relax the vax mandate (as quite a few have already) and this guy can go work there again without succumbing. Also, it's not a vax if you need one every couple months. It's a therapy.
You will be able to go again. They will eventually relax all mandates and once they need more workers they will open it up. No doubt about it.
At summer its really almost impossible to walk outside. Btw the museum was fantastic
It’s been called Persian Guelph for thousands of years on all ancient maps . Arabian gulf is a new invention that echoes political tension in the region. Great video of Bahrain
Arabian gulf is the current name for it whether you like it or not. All the surrounding tribes including the Sunni side of Iran are Arabs so this is the logic name. You think we are going to call Persian Gulf while it is next to Arab Areas. Doesn’t make any sense and Persian name was only enforced on Arabs when Persia was powerful empire but we ceased their power during the Islamic empire at that time and decided to rename it. However, it is up to the Iranians to call it by their name but you have no right to call it the same when you are in Arab land.
@@mubarakb.aldossary7605 we are very comfortable with Persian Guelph name . Thank you . You could try to rename anything you wish but no one could cover up the original name. The original name always will shine first and most. Little tiny Sheik Islands suffering inferiority complex because Iran’s vast shore line in the Persian Guelph!
Actually it's arabian gulf , cuz both side are Arabs, from kuwait down to oman other side ahwaz which they are arab emirate before England gave it to Iran as well balloshitan are not Persian too
If we go with common sense it has to be Arabian Gulf because all surrounding land is inhabited by arabs even the east coast of the gulf which currently within Iran is predominantly arab
A lovely peaceful country. Lived there for 10 years. Enjoyed my life there. Lovely peace loving folks. I hear of the progress this country has made since the 1990s. God bless the Royal family and the people of Bahrain.
I miss this country so much. Every single day of my life. I love you Bahrain.
Just got back from Bahrain a week ago. What surprised me is that it was so "dirty" for being a Gulf country. Comparing to Qatar and UAE. I was amazed how much the country had to offer due to its small size though.
This sounds so based lmao. As someone who lives in Bahrain you don't normally see trash anywhere unless you go to really crowded areas but they are cleaned later in the morning it's not left behind.
@@Zeus_9137 I can only tell my own experience after seeing center of Bahrain at noon. And it is not particularly trash I mean but dirty/broken/unmaintained facades, dirty windows, broken signs, plumbing on the facades. Maybe "untidy" is a better word then dirty.
@@Antizmannen *Maybe you were near a construction. There's no dirty Middle East country than my second country Yemen 😂😂😂 paperbags everywhere but good people with old historical architecture*
I miss you Bahrain❤
You was before Bahrain
Nice,if you want to explore souk you have to visit evening after 5pm afternoon most of shop will be closed.
Bahrain is a beautiful country.Most of the the shop owners will be Indians kerala.
Hi Gabe: Interesting video on Bahrain. The first and only time I visited Bahrain was in 1992 when I was on my way from India to the US. The Bahrain of today looks vastly different. My brother worked there for over 35 years and that was the reason of my stay there for a couple of days. We drove to the Saudi border on the Causeway and it was pretty thrilling for me then.
Wonderful 👍,I live here but am from Kenya Africa

Another great video Gab ....love the fact that u ALWAYS respect the culture of the locations u go to .... without judging anyone ..u r a Top Man ....
Fantastic laws. Camera phones have become a bane. No one should be photographed or videoed without their permission. Good, people won't dare dress indecently. Good laws. The video is very informative, Ty. Good to see not too many people around inspite of its small size. India is all over. India has very good relations with gulf nations. Indians literally built these modern cities. Now Dubai has built a beautiful huge temple owing to the large Indian Hindu diaspora there. Does Bahrain also have a temple? Like their national carrier Gulf Air. Will definately visit this beautiful place in the future.
Hello!! I actually live in bahrain myself and I was really happy to see you going to places I go to all the time but there is so much more that you have missed!! I really enjoyed your video though thank you for showing your audience my country and for showing that it actually isnt all that bad :p
if you ever come back to bahrain I would be glad to show you more places!!
I think to come to bahrain next month by myself. Start working and living there. I'm excited just by reading your comments in this video
I would ❤️ to visit Bahrain 🇧🇭 it looks beautiful
I love Bahrain
In Bahrain we have 2 Seasons. Summer and Hot Summer
Watching the rest of the video here - Saudi Arabia would be a great destination for a youtube video. Fascinating and mysterious culture. Cheers!
I hope you go to Doha, Qatar soon when Ramadan is over. That city looks amazing.
I was station in Bahrain two times back in 05 and 06 and they treated Americans military people good we never met anyone who give us problems and I would always love to go back
I spent more than ten years there with my family. Nice to see that beautiful country again

Very interesting video. Such a tiny country but so much to see.
Outstanding Nation to live 😍. Just love it.
I hope you injoyed in bahrain and visit again, jest I wanted to clarify some information you said about the King of bahrain that he ruled since 2002, actually he became the ruler of bahrain in March of the year 1999 as the amir of the state of bahrain after the death of his father, in 2002 he made elections for people to vote for bahrain to become as kingdom of bahrain
So mutch history to discover in Bahrain good video Gabriel 👍 😀 🤝
Unlike most countries Bahraini dinar is divided into 1000 subunits (1 dinar = 1000 fils).
The museum was the best thank you for reading the info of the artifacts !

Thanks for beautiful video. I really miss Bahrain. last two years ago I living in Bahrain. Seeing that video I was crying, bcoz.... my home was near Dana Mall😥
I miss Bahrain my friends a safe place to work .
Fantastic video yet again Gabe! I’ve really never heard much about this place at all except for the name itself, it seems alot like Dubai and the UAE in general. Atleast in the way it is laid out with the massive sky scrapers and expensive cars giving it that Arab oil millionaire chic vibe. Very cool! I can’t believe how quite it is for example the markets are in many cultures where people congregate and it seemed like they were very few people considering being in the middle of a major city.
This was amazing thank you for showing around the island though never got to explore it
it’s a very good country friend to live in and that’s why I’ve been working here since 2007 until today
Love the Middle East
The kind heart country 🙏

Very nice to see about Bahrain! Beyond my ideas! Mostly enjoy your archeological section and your eloquent commentary! Best wishes for you
Mashallah assalamualaikum Dr Hasan please help me 🙏son please
Nice video despite it covering a small area of Bahrain. By the way, The 'Madbasa' room at the Bahrain fort, is a storage room for making palm dates after harvest. Ripened Palm dates are loaded in woven sacks and they are stacked over each other. By time, dates will produce 'dates syrup' which will flow downwards in specially carved canals and meet together in a deep collection well where it is scooped and stored in glass or clay bottles. This technique is still being practiced today in some rural areas. I was lucky to see it and even do it. The word 'Madbasa' is Arabic word meaning Syrup maker. Bahrain is a free country and as long as you respect others, you can enjoy yourself and have a good time. Nice work.
Love your videos 🇲🇰
AWESOME that you are there, now! :)
And ...
Your muzak's terrific!
