Blistering Beautiful Bahrain! I'm very impressed.  The naval base seems to have everything you need - just small quantities.

Manama is the capital and largest city of Bahrain, with an approximate population of 155,000 people. Long an important trading center in the Persian Gulf, Manama is home to a very diverse population.

The Al-Fateh Mosque in the background is one of the largest mosques in the world, encompassing 6,500 square meters and having the capacity to accommodate over 7,000 worshippers at a time.  It is the largest place of worship in Bahrain.
