We recommend that you buy grandstand tickets for the best views of the race. Bahrain, a group of 33 islands, situated in the Arabian Gulf, is a small dot on the map compared with it's giant neighbour Saudi Arabia. The state takes its name from the largest island Bahrain, which is 586.5 square kilometres. It is linked by causeways to Muharraq (international airport) and
Sitra (industrial area and tank-farm). There are numerous other tiny islands, but they are mainly uninhabited and are best known for the variety of migrating
birds which pass through in spring and autumn.

2006 Race dates are 10th, 11th and Sunday 12th March
Bahrain International Circuit
View pictures
from Hermann Tilke 's (race track designer & architect) website.
Bahrain was a new venue for Formula One in 2004 but it is expected that f1 racing will rapidly establish itself in Bahrain and the Bahrain circuit, following on from the success of new circuits like Sepang in Malaysia.
Excellent hotels, exceptional value for money and guaranteed sunshine - what more could you ask for?
Bahrain is an easy city to get around, by using the excellent public transport system.
No need to worry about how to get to the this race, it is expected that Bahrain will follow the lead of
Malaysia which provides excellent public transport to the track.
As the Bahrain circuit is close to the capital city, your hotel will never be more than a few miles away.
The Bahrain Race is well placed to offer you the opportunity to experience the incomparable sights of Bahrain and other great destinations within the Middle East.
You can also take advantage of a two-centre race tour by including a visit to the Malaysian Grand Prix, a
week after this race and fit in a stop in Dubai on the way home.
Alternatively, if you are going all the way to Malaysia, You could also take advantage of a three-centre race tour by including a visit to the Malaysian Grand Prix on the 19th March 2006, Australian Grand Prix on the 2nd April 2006, the and fit in Singapore on the way home.
Arabic is the official language, although English is widely understood and it's used
by most businesses.
Islam is the religion of Bahrain and is practised by a large, majority .
Europe has the best air connections with Bahrain; the best fares are usually from Italy or Greece. Flights from the US tend to be expensive and harder to find; fares are cheapest during the low seasons of early January to mid-June and mid-October to mid-December. Routes between Bahrain and other Arab countries in the Gulf are well served. Flights from India and South-East Asia tend to be inexpensive, with especially good deals from Bangkok or Delhi.
Travellers can pass between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia via the King Fahd Causeway. The bus is a good way to get across, as it has its own lane at customs. There are passenger ferries running between Iran and Bahrain; the trip takes about 16 hours each way.
Bahrain has a decent bus service linking most of the major towns with Manama
and Muharraq. You can easily cover Manama and Muharraq on foot, though renting a
car will make it easier to get to farther-flung attractions.
You'll need to get an International Driving Permit
before entering the country (you can't get one once you're there); driving is on
the right.
Bahrain's taxis are metered, and while you can hire them by the hour
for sightseeing trips outside Manama, you should only do this if you plan to
spend lots of time poking around remote spots where you're unlikely to find
another cab.
The best time to visit Bahrain is between November and February, when it's
not too hot.
Avoid visiting during Ramadan, the Muslim month of daytime fasting,
when things slow down considerably. (Ramadan ends in January or December .)
You might also want to stay away during the Muslim festivals marking the
end of Ramadan and the annual pilgrimage to Mecca (ending in March for the next
few years), or over New Year's Eve.
At these times the country is swamped with
merrymakers from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and accommodation becomes very hard to
find, especially at the lower end of the price range, where prices sometimes double.
This could also be the case at the time of the Grand prix.
Bahrain currently does not have enough Hotel beds for all the Formula 1 Grand Prix fans
Internet Travel Club recommend that you book your hotel room as soon as possible
It is likely that room prices will rise as rooms become scarce.

Though an inexpensive stopover, Bahrain isn't a cheap destination.
If you
want to travel comfortably, rent a car and load up on artifacts, expect to spend
around £150 or more per day.
Taking the bus and bargaining will bring your
costs down closer to £50-75 a day.
There are a number of banks and moneychangers in Manama, and it pays to shop
around for the best rate. American Express offices will cash cheques for card
holders, and some banks will advance against Visa cards.
There are ATMs in
Manama linked to international networks.
A service charge is added to almost every bill in Bahrain, but it generally
goes to the shop, not the waiting staff. An appropriate tip in a good restaurant is
10%.
While tips aren't expected (especially in less expensive places), foreign
waiters and waitresses are often paid appalling wages.
Bargaining is common and
expected.

Culture
Although central Manama (The capital of Bahrain) may be flashy and modern, the basic rhythms of life in the island's many villages (and in parts of Manama itself) remain remarkably
traditional. By the same token, where there's tradition in the Gulf there's Islamic conservatism: women cover themselves from head to foot and women
travellers are expected to wear long skirts and one-piece bathing suits.
Bahrain's population is 85% Muslim and the religion is Islam.
Arabic is
the official language, but English is widely spoken.
Traditional craftwork continues in several places around Bahrain:
Fishing boats (dhows) are built on the outskirts of Manama and Muharraq.
Cloth woven at Bani Jamrah and pottery thrown at A'ali.
A few goldsmiths still operate in the Manama souk, though a lot of the work is now done abroad.
One of the mainstays of Bahraini culture is the drinking of traditional Arabian coffee.
You can't go far without finding a coffee pot in a shop or a souk.
Traditional
Arabian street food like shawarma (lamb or chicken carved from a huge
rotating spit and served in pita bread) and desserts such as baklava are also
ubiquitous.
While a bit thin on Arabic food, Bahrain has a bonanza of Indian,
Pakistani, Thai and other Asian specialties.
Public Transport
The public transport system within Bahrain is speedy, comfortable and uncomplicated.
