The Arab-ruled country (called as BAH-reyn) consists of 33 islands located off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf. The largest island is, you guessed it, Bahrain Island. The island connects to Saudi Arabia by the 16-mile-long King Fahd Causeway.
The population of Bahrain is centered in the capital, Manama.this Maybe not surprising given its Persian Gulf location, but major industries are oil, banking and pearl.
And though it is a small nation, but the stability is important to the U.S.
