Bahrain, once known as the "Pearl City," owes its name to its thriving pearl diving industry that was a major global player for centuries. The country was historically known for its pearling industry, which reached its peak during the 19th century. Bahrain is also rich in culture, boasting impressive sites like the Bahrain Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Tree of Life, a 400-year-old tree growing in the desert, which remains a marvel of survival.
