I believe it was 2003, he came to Bahrain when one of the shaikhs welcomed him here and offered him hospitality. The house he gave him is walking distance from where I live, basically the same area called Sanad. I have not seen the house myself, but thats what I have heard from media, newspapers etc. Anyhow, I believe he lived here for what 3 maybe 4 months and then went elsewhere. Anyhow, I found pictures and VIDEOS of him IN BAHRAIN. Thanks to Mahmood's den which is the most famous blogger in the gulf area, he reminded me of this connect between Bahrain and Michael. So here is a picture of Michael Jackson, dressed up in women's clothing called the "Abaya" in order to not be recognized publicly:
Here are 2 videos, not that clear of him at Seef Mall, at that time the biggest mall in Bahrain:
