Summary/Abstract: Up until recently, Bahrain was an archipelago of 33 islands, positioned in the middle south of the Gulf. However, figures published in 2008 by Bahrain’s “Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB)”, said Bahrain is now an archipelago consisting 84 islands, which is a result of the on-going reclamations. The total area of Bahrain had jumped from 695 square kilometres in the 1980s to 756 square kilometres, and this figure will also change in the coming years.
