BAHRAIN
 
The Pearl Monument stands at the end of the Manama-Muharraq causeway and is one of Bahrain's most recognizable symbols. Six dhow 'sails' float into the air, holding in their midst a giant pearl. Beautifully-constructed, the Monument reminds people of the importance of pearl and oyster during the glory days of Bahrain.
