Weekend in Bahrain

Our first visit to Bahrain. The causeway from Saudi into Bahrain is pretty amazing. It goes from Saudi, touches down on 2 islands for customs/passport check, and then on to the main island of Bahrain. It's 25 km long, and is 4 lanes across.
The sunsets here are pretty amazing - the sun looks huge, right until is passes from view.
There have been some archaeological digs done in the area. They've uncovered some ancient temples (like this one in Barbar), which is believed to have been dedicated to the god of the water. There are lots more sites we plan to visit on return trips.
