Stymied sunseeker's remark in Gulf region? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bahrain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gulf region?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stymied sunseeker's remark in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bahrain that I've seen before include "Gulf state" , "Gulf region?" , "Arab sheikhdom" , "Island country in the Persian Gulf" , "Arab state" .)
