Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The flag of Bahrain consists of only two colors; red and white. The two "bands" of color are separated with a serrated line. The line has five triangles on it. What do the triangles represent?

Answer: Pillars of Islam

There are five points on the flag of Bahrain, and these points represent the five Pillars of Islam. The five pillars are shahada, salat, sawm, zakat, and hajj, which mean creed, daily prayer, fasting during Ramadan, almsgiving, and a pilgrimage to Mecca, respectively.

The Path of Enlightenment is 8-Fold, there are 7 Deadly Sins, and there are 4 Gospels, so it wouldn't even make sense to have 5 points represent them.

2. Bahrain is a tiny island nation, but in fact has 33 small islands in all. Which of them is the home to the capital city, as well as being the largest of the islands?

Answer: Bahrain Island

Bahrain's largest island is simply called Bahrain Island. Manama is located in the northeastern tip of the island. Muharraq Island, Umm an Nasan, and Sitrah are some of the larger islands of the archipelago.

3. Bahrain is located in the body of water between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Which sea is this?

Answer: Persian Gulf

The Persian Gulf is located to the east of Saudi Arabia and to the west of Iran. The Gulf also borders Kuwait in the north and the United Arab Emirates in the south. Qatar also borders the gulf. Bahrain is located in the southwestern part of the gulf.

4. The highest point of Bahrain is Jabal ad Dukhan. The hill has a heavy haze on humid days which gave it its name. What does Jabal ad Dukhan mean?

Answer: Mountain of Smoke

Jabal ad Dukhan means "Mountain of Smoke" in Arabic. The mountain only stands at 440 feet tall (134m), so it is more of a simple hill than an actual 'mountain'. The hillside has quite a number of caves. Jabal ad Dukhan is located nearly in the center of the country.

5. There is a causeway that connects Bahrain with Saudi Arabia. What is it called?

Answer: King Fahd Causeway

Construction began in 1981, and King Fahd Causeway was finally completed and open for public use in 1986. The causeway connects Bahrain with Saudi Arabia to keep their relationship strong. Canso Causeway connects Nova Scotia with mainland Canada, Mahim Causeway connects India with Mumbai, and MacArthur Causeway connects the Florida Keys to the rest of the state.

6. Being located in the Middle East, Bahrain has a very interesting climate. What is Bahrain, mostly?

Answer: Desert

Since Bahrain is located in the Middle East, it gets very hot there. In fact, it is mostly desert, just as is its neighbor, Saudi Arabia. Only about 8% of the country is able to be used as arable land and permanent crops.

7. Most of the islands of Bahrain are very close to the biggest island, but some of them are way down south near Qatar. What group of islands is this?

Answer: Hawar Islands

The Hawar Islands are a group of islands of Bahrain that are just a few kilometers north of Qatar. The largest island of the group is, appropriately, Hawar Island.

8. Bahrain also has a group of islands that are man-made. The islands are highly developed "Smart Cities". What are they called?

Answer: Amwaj Islands

There are quite a few artificial islands in Bahrain, but the Amwaj Islands are some of the most technologically advanced. The islands are even called a "Smart City". The islands cover 30 million square feet (28 million square m).

9. In Bahrain, there is a special tree. The tree was mentioned in the movie "L.A. Story", and it is one of the many supposed locations of the Garden of Eden. What is the tree called?

Answer: Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is a 400-year-old mesquite tree. The mesquite tree is able to live in the arid region of Bahrain because it has roots that can reach 160 feet deep! The Tree of Life is said to be blessed by the God of water, Enki, which is why it has lived so long. The tree stands alone, surrounded by nothing but desert.

Answer: Al Fateh Grand Mosque

The Al Fateh Grand Mosque is the largest place of worship in Bahrain, boasting room for 7,000 people. It is found in the city of Juffair. With a weight of 60 metric tons (60,000kg), the Al Fateh Grand Mosque has the world's largest 100% fiberglass dome. It was built in 1987, and was named after Ahmed Al Fateh, the conqueror of Bahrain.
