[Bahraini Spirit]

Well what wonder do we have, the best one I can think of obviously besides the tree of life ;) is the A'ali burial mounds (largest pre-historic cemetry in the world with 150,000 - 170,000 graves and more than 4000 years old). I nominate that for Bahrain:

Bahrain's wonders might not look soo attractive, grande, and wonderous, but in their meaning and historical significance they very much are ;)
