The country is situated between the Qatari peninsula and the north eastern coast of Saudi Arabia to which it is connected by the 25-kilometre (16 mi) King Fahd Causeway. The capital and largest city is Manama.

Environmental issues

Bahrain's principal environmental problems are scarcity of fresh water, desertification, and pollution from oil production.

Population growth and industrial development have reduced the amount of agricultural land and lowered the water table, leaving aquifers vulnerable to saline contamination.
