Neverland Ranch to Bahrain to hide out after he was acquitted of child molestation charges.

Shakira attended the Defense Dependents School known as DODDS located next to the

American Base in Juffair, in the early 90’s. She even mentions Bahrain in her song ‘Ojos Asi’:

‘I travelled from Bahrain to Beirut

I went from the north to the south pole

and I never found eyes like those’

Jacqueline Fernandez, Sri Lankan actress, former model, and the winner of the 2006 Miss Universe moved to Bahrain with her family in the 1980s.
