Bahrain Address Format
Bahraini addresses go from smallest to largest unit: recipient, then building number + road number + block number on one line (the standard block-and-road system, instead of street names), then locality + block number (postal code) on one line, then the country. P.O. Box addresses replace the street line entirely (e.g. 'P.O. Box 12345, Manama').
