Kingdom of Bahrain
Sophisticated, modern and cosmopolitan, the Kingdom of Bahrain is the ‘pearl’
of the Arabian Gulf; welcoming an increasing number of international visitors who come to experience the country's fascinating blend of eastern and western cultures.
As an island nation, Bahrain infuses a unique charm while enjoying a wealth
of excellent hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, an intriguing souq (bazaar)
and more than 5,000 years of civilisation to explore in a warm, sunny climate.
English is spoken and understood everywhere, and its future as a popular sporting, business, media and recreational destination seems assured. It is fast becoming a niche destination and home to a number of boutique hotels.
The Kingdom is at the heart of the Gulf’s Islamic banking but is now developing as a global financial hub as well as a centre for business and residential opportunities.

The Bahrain International Circuit working with the FIA Institute
The Bahrain International Circuit and the FIA Institute look forward to welcoming you to both the Kingdom of Bahrain, and more importantly to one of the World’s benchmark facilities for motorsport – The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) - considered throughout the industry as the most modern, user-friendly and exciting venue in the high-speed, high-tech, high-adrenaline fast paced world of professional motor racing, as well as a prime venue for corporate and retail business activities.
The story so far…
The Bahrain International Circuit, ‘Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, has held a round of the FIA Formula One Grand Prix World Championship since 2004. Priding itself on demanding and achieving the highest standards of performance and professionalism, Bahrain has aligned itself in the international community to excellence, prestige and power.
Consequently, in its short history the BIC has gathered a plethora of acknowledgements and awards: the most prestigious of these to date being The FIA Institute Centre of Excellence Award. Awarded in 2007, The Bahrain International Circuit is the only Formula One circuit in the World to have been granted such recognition.
The FIA Centre of Excellence programme forms the cornerstone of the FIA Institute’s aim to encourage and give incentive for excellence in all aspects of motor sport safety. An FIA Centre of Excellence exemplifies the high standards expected by the FIA Institute in terms of technology and the way it relates to best medical, marshalling and race control safety and practices. The Bahrain International Circuit has demonstrated such commitment to innovation and the development of new safety technology within motor sport - particularly as the sport develops in the Middle East.
