Images of Number Plates from Bahrain
Number plates in Bahrain are displayed in both Arabic and English - the two official languages of the country. In the above pictures, the top-left number plate is from a private vehicle in the 1980s and is displayed entirely in Arabic. The number plate on the top right is from the current 1993 series and is made up of seven digits below the country's name, and is displayed in Arabic next to it. The number plate on the bottom left is of a similar style, but displays the shortened "BRN" instead of the full country name. The plate on the bottom-right is of the same style but displays only five digits.
