How to Discover Sri Lanka from Bahrain

Bahrain Confidential's Charlie Cooksey Relives his Visit to the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean"

With a tropical climate, stunning beaches, fascinating historic sites, and delicious food, it’s little surprise that Sri Lanka is called the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean.” And coincidently, we all know Bahrain is known as the “Pearl of the Gulf”. From our home in Bahrain, it’s incredibly easy to escape to, much more affordably than you’d think!

I recently visited Sri Lanka for 3 nights and 4 days, keen on having a quick yet unforgettable trip. It did not disappoint, proving that this little-yet-large island nation had something for everyone to enjoy without costing a fortune.
