In the early 2000s, the area saw many changes such as the creation of the
University of Bahrain main campus and
Bahrain International Circuit, the home of Formula One's
Bahrain Grand Prix. During the
2020 Formula One season, the track hosted a second race, the
Sakhir Grand Prix, using an alternate track layout. Sakhir is also the location of the biannual
Bahrain International Airshow as well as the
Al Areen Wildlife Park, the only
nature reserve and
zoo located on land in Bahrain.
Bell Sports, an American manufacturer of bicycle and motorsport helmets, has a showroom located near Bahrain International Circuit. == References ==
