Bab al Bahrain

On Friday, we usually go down to the "Bab", which means Gate; this is the gateway to the Souk, the old bazaar, little shops that sell everything from Rolexes, to belly dancing costumes, and wind-up toys.

This Gate has been here for many years. In the early days, when we were first here, this circle in front of the gate, used to be a fruit and veg. market.



Next to the Bab is an old Mosque, and a new Batelco (telephone co.) Building.

In the evening the Mosque reflects in the blue glass of the Batelco Building. Below is one of my favorite photos....thanks to Yvonne!
