Stunning Before-And-After Snapshot Reveals Bahrain’s Incredible Expansion
Anyone who’s lived in Bahrain for a while knows just how much the island has transformed since the 1980s. The good old days, as shown in Retro Manama, are proof of how far it’s come!
But a recent post on X took things to a whole new level, showing just how much the northeastern region of Bahrain has flourished over the past 35 years.

The population has soared from 400,000 to a whopping 1.5 million, and the land area has expanded from 665 km² to 780 km², thanks to land reclamation projects.

It’s safe to say that Bahrain isn’t just growing in numbers, but its size and potential will make it one of the best island destinations in the region!
With all this progress, the future of Bahrain looks brighter than ever!
