Revue de presse
....written in a clear, authoritative voice and is packed with useful information and insights. As a guidebook it is an excellent model. One can only regret that ongoing political tensions in Bahrain will no doubt impact tourism there for some time to come. Yet anyone travelling to Bahrain, or any scholar interested in a short overview of the islands main sites and finds, will profit from this nicely produced volume. --Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 108 (2013) 2 p.99
