マナーマ

Manama may not be as shiny and slick as Dubai and co, but that’s part of its appeal. Bahrain’s capital pairs cloud-skimming skyscrapers with down-to-earth souqs, where you can see (and shop for) the country’s sense-awakening spices and famous pearls. With the national museum and theatre in the city too, you can discover just what makes Manama tick.
