whatever it takes police my follow with double you fire made for mines. ah, the sun goes down over the buff rainy capital manama. and just like every weekend, it becomes a magnet for crowds of young saudis. they flock to the hip at lea, a district to enjoy walks, ban back home the many bars restaurants and nightclubs that sell alcohol. c for over 30 years, it's been where young saudi's come for a good time. they arrived via the king fod causeway, that's linked saudi arabia and buff brain since 1986 every weekend,

thousands cross walk by for a nice jokingly called the johnny walker bridge. the island of buffering has around $9000000.00 saudi visitors a year. one of the hippest addresses in the night life district is the luxury mahoney. a restaurant i worship kareem south son is the boss face. yes, i was the she's a legend in the buff rainy nightlight. scene for tonight. it's my house, it's a place i open for people to come and indulge and enjoy and feel comfortable and translate. south son owns 3 other venues in the city, but this one is the most exclusive. with its 7 tables mahoney, a host 20 special guests each evening. sort of 1st time that i used to go in europe . find dining. so when i did my own yeah, i was like okay,

the men, he addressed traditionally, while the women dress minimal western style. the menu includes alcohol but not the one on the royal table. tonight julia is serving a 10 course meal. his culinary creation appears to meet with royal approval. the prince immediately takes a photo of the 1st course with more, but it's not only top shafts that sound son uses to attract saudi society to her restaurant. the savvy business woman has also opened an exclusive nightclub on the roof, a reef save her french moroccan head waiter loves bahrain. it's like a mini visa and oriental version. well,

nobody that we're heading to eat is, today is thursday. the start of the weekend. it's busy, on average, they'll be over 300 people here, partying his boyfriends, hottest club for out of 5 of the club as have come from saudi arabia. the women dress provocatively, the drink flows, and everyone is here to dance and flirt. the weekend is a time when young saudis can throw off the strict islamic laws of their home country but rain is the smallest. and the most remarkable nation in the persian gulf, located next to cut up between saudi arabia and iran. the island covers just 780 square kilometers. it has a reputation for tolerance and openness in a region where neither is often the case in the midst of the gulf,

geopolitical and religious tensions, the kingdom of bahrain is an anomaly. ah, 20 minutes from the center of manama is the saw district. one of the islands most exclusive addresses concealed behind these walls is an oasis of tranquillity. this is where sal, son, queen of the buff rainy night life lives. a californian style home over more than 1000 square meters. you follow me? how is my here? heiress to a wealthy oil family. sal son isn't just an entrepreneur. she's a collector of international contemporary art and sometimes even paints

a bit herself with. when i'm good, i'm very good, but when i'm bad it i'm even better. and that sums up sound sounds. personality, in a nutshell, in a male dominated world, she will not be beaten. her favorite room is in the basement. so this is my relaxing area. and most of these books are cookbooks. one of my favorite cheshire ambition. really amazing, amazing chef. i love his food. so son has been married for more than 30 years. my husband july. really do miss each other. i by chance she can

staff serve up a dozen dishes for the family and their visitors each evening. it's our son is the embodiment of birth reigns a wealthy and progressive elite. her success is a symbol for the progress towards gender equality here and bahrain. still, most women wear a veil in public, although it's not mandatory. women can drive open bank accounts, vote, and choose to divorce ah. in 2002, the buff rainy constitution was amended to guarantee gender equality. but behind the facade of progress, a conservative bahrain survives untouched by western influences. 92 percent of the country is covered by desert,

and temperatures often reach 50 degrees celsius. but mohammed wouldn't leave anywhere else. his passion is falconry, and he's devoted to his birds. ah, and at 30 he is still a bachelor. he didn't have time for the wife. oh, it will make for her time. saddest when the family such unfortunate. but sancho is still in the event then from a humble background mohammed has become one of the most famous falcon is in the country a profession that he practices with his family every day in winter. he joins his brothers and cousins in the desert. father, she wasn't here, falconry is a passion that is passed on from a very young age in pursuit of his passion,

he's converted this van, both of them. some of these birds can fetch up to the equivalent of $15000.00 euros, so they're given special treatment. but eventually alicia reached out to sure mohammed owns 90 racing falcons to keep them fit. he trains them regularly with the help of remote control planes carrying pigeon carcasses on to my folder with this plane flies at a speed of around 70 much as an hour and is overtaken by the falcon within seconds . under normal circumstances, the bird could rate speeds of over 320 kilometers an hour. his her like a threatening. the paragraph falcon is the fastest member of the

animal kingdom. after a few minutes, the plain drops, the caucus says of a swollen, such as a reward. the falcon is allowed to feed on the conquest. they train for around 2 hours for the next race mohammed is competing with his favorite falcon by rude like one of a special with the salon as a new. now with her, maybe i have it's for one month, amber doing good than to know it's strong enough. ah, in 5 days time mohammed will attend an international tournament. it will pete the worlds fastest falcons against each other. he's hoping his will place among the top 10

o like many gulf states, bahrain owes its wealth to oil reserves that a gradually running out. that's why it's looking for ways to reinvent itself. there's been a property explosion here like in to buy dozens of new apartment blocks. the being billed every year. the population has almost doubled in under 20 years from 900000 in 2005 to 1700000 to day. and inspired by dubai. bahrain has grown over the past 30 years with new artificial islands, turning the sea into new land at a stunning spade. one of the most impressive projects is in southern bahrain. do

rat, alba. rain comprises 1200 luxury villas on 15 islands. this is where affluent path rainy's come for the weekend to relax and enjoy pools and private beaches. far from the hustle and bustle of manama. ah, my friends land area has grown almost 13 percent in 30 years. ah, i grew up idolizing the scar and i fell in love with the scott and i said to myself, one day i wanted my wife naveah norah dean is the heir of a wealthy buff rainy dynasty that has ties to the royal family. we're going to put her in vain. it's a beautiful area. ah, he made his fortune in real estate. over the years, he's built up

a unique collection of sports cars, $57.00, and each one more prestigious than the next. he employs for people to keep them up to speck ah, i can't walk in here and find dust on the car. i become very upset. so. ready every day they'd polish the cars. we hard lose water works. i think over the beall's con collection is estimated to be worth more than 30000000 euros. one thing that sets bahrain apart from other countries in the region is its policy of religious tolerance. there in 19 churches in minerva, serving anglican and orthodox faithful, as well as catholic and protestant parishes, many of their members a migrant workers from the philippines, india,

and pakistan. there are an estimated 80000 catholics living in buffering. ah, it's also the sight of the gulf 1st the silica, the our lady of arabia, cathedral was built on land gifted by the king. ah, it seats around 2300 churchgoers and was inaugurated in december 2021 by the king. second son abdulla sleeper. ah ah, perhaps more unusual for the gulf region is the friendly relationship between the kingdom and the jewish community. i these images from 2016 show members of the buffer, a new government, dancing with the jewish community during

a hannukah celebration. it prompted a backlash in many arab countries. few were aware that buffering has long been home to a jewish community, all be at a small ones who were at the souk, the traditional market in the heart of manama. with his wife. abraham new new knows the souk, like the back of his hand says the best place to live. i mean that you look at this, look, this is causing ruler. okay. this was in luna, this one as a kid we used to come and used to have it to them for this part of town is fantastic. and so love nicholas. hi, chena. hello. hello. hello. hello. hello. hello. hello. hey. well, i will up,

newman. how that would it all okay. this is what people have. it's called the worried. okay. you know, it's fantastic for patients because you count for the 2 a 1234. and it's religious symbol as well. the jews of iraq used to use it all the time. abraham is jewish. he was born in bahrain 61 years ago and has lived here ever since his ancestors migrated here in the 19th century from today's iraq. this is a historic day for him, right. in the heart of the souk, the old synagogue is reopening for the 1st time in 75 years. i read john had aaliyah. how you doing? all right, abraham, swipe, heidi and sister yale. a putting the final touches to decorations in the synagogue . oh yeah, that's good. thank you for. yeah, i will,

community is very, very small in numbers. we're talking about 5060 people. in 1935, there was a community of 800 jewish people here. it was only after the news of israel was being created in 1948 that the jews decided to leave because they became scared. the old synagogue was destroyed by the buff rainy's. this day holds great importance for abraham. it is the 1st for her service. since 1947 ah multi rusher, marianna. although abraham isn't a rabbi, he will say them in her the afternoon. prayers by you. there are only a few faithful in the room. but they all know there, witnessing a special moment made possible by a ground breaking political development 2 years ago with my own. i mean,

i ran it in 2020 israel by frayne. and the united arab emirates signed the abraham a course under the patronage of n u. s. president donald trump, the accords normalized ties and heralded a new era of co operation. so go ahead and open up the instruct. okay. seeing where you are. a bro hums wife and her sister have opened a souvenir shop next to the synagogue for the jewish tourist expected to travel. he is soon more. mm. like, is this really quite sweet?

because this is the 1st time ever that we've made a bahrain the capitals made in bahrain. after years of silence, the jewish community here is finally finding its voice again, always been very proud of my heritage. and the truth is now you can actually say it and because of the abraham records, i think people are, you know, finally realize the jews are here to stay and the same as everywhere else. we've got a right to be it a few days later the 1st is railey tourist arrives. hi annie, how are you? i'm excellent. i'm glad you finally made that l e is traveling for business. he wanted to come and see the synagogue. so he took the new flight route from israel to manama. we'll start with the deeds. this is the gates to the actual lack of the land of the synagogue. it was purchased in 1930. 0, i live in israel to that. and being able to come here now to our

a glance as it is really as a proud jew is the final stage i think in healing a number of these traumatic incidents sort of happens historically. so it's an absolutely unbelievable experience to be here as a jew, and it is in honor of hanukkah. eli has brought his to fill in that he wears on his left arm and forehead a traditional symbol often worn during week day. pres, hulu, them, hey. but while the jewish community can be glad about the governments, tolerance of its faith, these tolerance doesn't extend to all religions, even when they represent the majority of the country. shiite muslims represent between 60 and 70 percent of the population. they have their own neighborhoods and mosques. they belong to the same branch of islam that is practiced in iran. but in

bahrain power lies in the hands of the sunni muslim minority. king ha mod been, i saw alief, a chief among them. the sunni's have close ties with saudi arabia, which is a key ally, the shiites form the biggest, but also the poorest community and buffering, and are excluded from holding many public positions. during the arab spring in 2011, thousands of she aunt streamed on to the streets to cool for democracy and equality . although the demonstrations were peaceful, the response was no. saudi arabia buff rains, longstanding ally, sent troops and tanks to prevent the shiites from gaining power. and to prevent iran's influence more than 50 people were killed during the protests. and she, i leaders were locked up or forced to flee. ah,

among those detained was shake. ali solomon a religious leader of the biggest giant party. and he was arrested by the government and sentenced to life in prison. i was zillow with. we spoke to his wife for religious reasons, she didn't want to show her identity. she picked a special backdrop to speak to us. fluffy the somewhat asked and my husband was arrested in december 2014 and has been imprison ever since h at all. they are taking revenge against him for his statements. his views and his political demands. yet far he organized a peaceful events, calling for quality for every one to sell up for their rights and obligations. why? why juba, he was again, of any kind of religious discrimination. ratty. what fifa? the couple has 2 daughters, aged 7 and 14 math, known as fact lag. we are paying

a high price yorba when at the hamilton, la michelle. but we will get through his absence. the separation and the suffering had the wrong one, not oh, we wont democracy and freedom for our country. a people can lift their knives in a just unsafe society of an amnio. emma, the other activists have gone into exile since the 2011 protests sayed al, would die, has lived in london as a political asylum seeker. he founded an organization that defends the rights of political prisoners in bahrain. and today he's organizing a press conference in front of the buff rainy embassy. now, a problem is with these people know, honestly this day the one with the think them authentic amendment from presenting was the thought. terry sentencing people to death and gotten good

looking to begin with and we are, they assume like let's say, who with a i'm with in the house because day as well. so i, it has been stripped of his citizenship and cannot return to bahrain below the. we showed him pictures taken in, she ain't neighborhoods. there is a systematic policy of discrimination, minutia. they are treated as a 2nd or 3rd class citizens. they government, it does discriminate against them in jobs as committed discriminate against them in many aspects. parts of this discrimination which you would be able to envision as the how some of those poor shia villages are like really living a very devastating and very poor conditions. extremely poor conditions and at the,

at a place where you would be able to see almost 5 star cities in bahrain. and you will see places that the government wants to see that as the most wonderful things. sayed believes, the monarchies, days are numbered. the government responds to list smith demands was gunn, was a bloody crack down. was torture? throwing jane. this is a fear tactic, could walk for some time, but doesn't work forever. in bahrain, the roots of the revolution live on and represent a threat to the king and the alfalfa. dennis d a and not all sunni's have a high regard for bahrain. it's liberal approach to bars and alcohol averted, a reputation among fundamentalists and more conservative muslims as a place of seen a

region. so that way when i was driving either i thought over the cycle. so so did you come to brain is for zechariah nice with with nighttime temperatures, around $25.00 degrees celsius. bahrain is certainly a nice place to spend an evening, but what the saudis are really here for other at east and the alcohol things band in their own country. minima has around 20 night clubs with provocative names like and chapel, a reference to one of the biggest mexican drug lords in history with or escobar, i. it's managed by leo, a 32 year old from greece. he's been in the kingdom for 4 months now.

actually the main it is you can get alcohol in bahrain shall block his 8th is allowed to serve alcohol. joyce, the main doris. the place. let's say a name behind he's club is packed every weekend. no, i was a why with them? because there, but it's fun by this one with another of my i'm one of the blood about now. and now that there was that i will, it is, i was all the people from saudi. they come a story so that we can so we get them live, it's stuck hearing i on the weekends after, as i was at the club hosts international. d j's and the bomb has something for everyone to saudi clientele is more than happy to spend their cash here as they enjoy the weekend. ah, in addition to a well stocked far, leo office, the kind of entertainment that's unimaginable in saudi arabia, like the scantily clad fire ita rania is originally from slovakia,

but speaks french and lives in buffer. and now i, i've already left in 7 countries. i like it here with the top. so i really important part of the economy here. yes. the v i p lounge is an important source of income for leo to get a table here. guests have to order a minimum number of drinks. ah, ah, we continue to stay on the same. yes. continue to say bye bye bye some by them time . okay. for a table of 5 that can easily add up to a bill of $800.00 euros. will be the same amount real better with

what these young saudis are doing here would be punished back home, just 30 kilometers away. most of them are reluctant to be filmed. few, a great to speak to us. i did wrong. i'm with funding. they have all my family. what's going on? why am i here? and i love a good time and my life coming home. i did, i'm the only i walked away because there was a come on leave because they don't want their vomiting to know that they are getting cuz that's the only reason they don't want to leave and they can do whatever they want except that they don't want that vomiting to find on what does it want you to see how things are, are they want, i'm famous. i'm

a good guy, i say in bahrain, it's not only the saudis who come together kuwaitis, emerald, ts, and other expenses that live in the gulf. i'm from germany, wasn't both of us. right. where you live? you know, we don't know how to ring while you're in. just a little bit behind. i miss known elizabeth these for last researches and alcohol. ah. so it's a little bit more party and elizabeth, less stress making. the saudi government has loosened its grip on its youth in recent years, something that benefits bahrain. they want to have fun with whatever they travel to their funding was money that enjoying this i. so they're looking for the same thing . all, i don't know what is the same and then the day you go to party just like the good

services. so that what they're looking for right now, not not different than the other one. anyway, i don't know where fatima in manama the clubs close at 2 am, but anyone who wants to keep potty in can get alcohol. another way a building with no windows or signage on a secluded street. a liquor shop. there are 4 in the city, but it's still a touchy subject here in bahrain. ah. so we are shooting with a hidden camera. here you can find everything. champagne, a wide selection of beer and spirits. aside from night, clemson hotels. these are the only places where alcohol is sold with red light, right?

that's amazing. the selection is amazing. if you have a lot of followup, i did a little there with your your name. surely and all you are welcome. and if you want to buy alcohol, you have to be at least 18 and aren't allowed to where traditional clothing was out in the lumber even got it. because of course, what he's doing, guy came never, what did it, what is the alco people buy the most? especially for the fathers lately love but flood though it may not much land on the shelf. we find a bottle of co do home for $62.00 euros 4 times the price in france, and the government levies high taxes on alcohol. a study by the world bank says that alcohol here is more expensive than anywhere else in the world. i

think in the middle of the desert, 40 kilometers outside the capital, there's a huge air condition tense here. hundreds of falcons and their trainers prepare for the most important competition of the year. the title of fastest bird of the season winning is a great honor for the ona breed has come from all over the persian gulf. the event will be broadcast live on buffer, a new television with professional tv commentary. wireless. oh, so i one with, it's a huge moment from a 100 a we have to focus on the final and the all of the

strongest we have. so we wish we got good finding silicon of what i got, you know, in the front row is a young prince, a member of the royal family. it's part of our culture. dakota may not be a mentor for us. this is very traditionally as if you were trying to make the people behaving so love the scoring and keep the sports going from the tip on go home at lunch. oh, guests share the same by faith. what is it accommodating with? must boy camel meet is a know better when tradition of others. the most important part of the common because there is no kind of strand of local is that the answer is a no, you can. it's not an open buffy where princes and

a chauffeur's eat together. far from the glamour of the capital. who are wor, legless? more than things are. we don't like it too much. i like all the things that isn't and this is laura. all is good. like with the old anything is all the doors mohammad is called to the starting position. now it's he is falcon's turn. a chip is attached to the birds wing to measure its time accurately. each bird has to cover 400 meters at the other end of the field. some one is swinging a pigeon conquest. now it's mohammed's turn with his falcon barouche, touch either cobalt or gobbler. delagarza is out of bed. yo board. marsha la jabar ago. i am on i don't. oh wow. wow, wow, wow, wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. i

know the falcon reaches almost 100 kilometers per hour and covers the distance in less than 20 seconds. cuz you know what i was, i had a bad at my job at 17 seconds. mohammed's falcon has achieved the best time of the day. but mohammed has to be patient, because an immorality falcon is up next to a crowd favorite. well, 100 off your way up ivanhoe. why barbara, barbara, barbara. okay, but the result is displayed on the screen and the winner is, ah, muhammad and his falcon bruno with a wind by only 1800, said the 2nd. oh, he's congratulated in the traditional better when way. nose to nose de la la la la chicken. oh, mohammed has won
