Why it sticks

  1. 1

    An island kingdom in the Persian Gulf whose name means 'two seas' in Arabic.

  2. 2

    The 25 km King Fahd Causeway links it to Saudi Arabia; it is the country's only road connection to the mainland.

  3. 3

    It was the centre of the ancient Dilmun civilisation; the five white points on its red flag stand for the five pillars of Islam.
