Sister cities
Twinned with Manama
7 of 9 in this atlas
Manama maintains formal ties with a spread of cities across continents, from Ankara, Chicago, Doha, Karachi, Kuwait City, and Saint Petersburg, all confirmed as mutual pairings, to Tunis, which names Manama only from the other side. The mix suggests a broadly reciprocated network, with the Gulf and wider international connections outweighing the single one-sided case on record.
