Bahrain creates the perfect BITE

BITE is a gathering of the right company… meeting the right people… at the right time… A Place where great minds meet!

Since its inception in 2005, as part of a celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of Sunshine Tours, BITE has gone from a 1,100 sqm exhibition to an Expo to be reckoned with on an international level.
