Think Bahrain is just a gorgeous island in the Gulf? Think again! Turns out, Bahrain is so iconic that other places around the world share the name—and it’s kind of mind-blowing.

Nestled in the stunning Swat Valley of KPK, this Bahrain is surrounded by lush green mountains and rivers. Yep, from island vibes to mountain dreams! And wait, there’s more. Iran’s Lorestan province also has its own Bahrain. This one’s a small spot tucked into a region known for its picturesque valleys.

Mind = blown!
