The day opens on a wide Gulf horizon as a late-model Nissan Patrol eases out of Manama, air conditioning humming and a local guide unfolding the island’s layers. Streets give way to low scrub and salt flats; Bahrain Bay’s glass towers flash before the land softens into archaeological ridgelines and the squat silhouette of Bahrain Fort.
