What is the country Bahrain known for?
Mr B has definately been there. Bahrain was the banking and corporate center of the Gulf Region, but United Arab Emirates has taken over that role. The ruling family is Sunni, but a lot of the people in the villages are Shia (like Iran). There is a lot of internal riots. There is a fairly large expat community of Filipino, British, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, and Americans (almost all military. It is the base for the fleet).
Since they built the causeway over from Saudi Arabia a lot of Saudi men come over for the weekend to drink. Alchohol is never available in Saudi. In Bahrain a bar must be attached to a hotel, or you can drink in a restaurant. There is no drinking during Ramadan.
It is a very different culture than United Arab Emirates. Nearly everyone in the UAE has been to Europe or America.

The national costume differs between men and women.
The men's costume usually consists of four parts: a simple shirt called baju Melayu, which simply translates to 'Malay shirt' (often made of silk, or sometimes cotton or polyester) ; a pair of trousers made of the same material and usually matching colour; a sort of embroidered kilt called a sinjang; and a black or dark-coloured type of fez hat called a songkok.
Women generally wear what is called baju kurung which means 'enclosed dress'. It consists of a head scarf (called a tudung) and a dress (which can come in one or two parts), and together cover the entire body save for the face, hands and feet. The dress and scarf are often brightly coloured and have varied patterns.
The national costume is worn at various functions and official events, as well as many government workplaces.
