Qal'at al-Bahrain
A 10-minute drive west of Manama, on an ancient tell (mound created by centuries of urban rebuilding), the majestic Bahrain Fort stares out across the Gulf. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it is part of the Unesco World Heritage site believed to have been the capital of the ancient Dilmun Empire. As you wander the atmospheric excavations of residential, commercial, public, military and religious buildings, contemplate this: humans have continuously inhabited this site since 2300 BC.

Great overview of the highlights of Bahrain! Thanks Abbas for a great tour! Ladies, please be aware you do need to wear an abaya and head covering for the mosque visit (they provide them at the visitor center if you don’t have one).
Quick view of Bahrain

Nice tour. Sometimes it feels a bit rushed but on the other hand there is not really much to see in Bahrain.
The tour guide was extremely nice.

My daughter and I loved the tour! The itinerary is complete and covers Bahrain from north to south. Bharti a tour guide and Touqeer driver, were our companions on this adventure. She knows a lot about the history, explained everything during the tour and left us with time to visit the places. This made us feel comfortable and made us have a pleasant and enjoyable day! I certainly recommend this tour !!!
Grandeur of the Grand Mosque to the Transcendental Tree of Life

How many an ancient countries so rich in history can you say you have traveled in a day?
Abbas A. Is absolutely the right guide for this terrific tour of twists and turns through Bahraini history to present day impact. I could not have been luckier to land a solo trip with driver Nixon while Abbas went into great detail and anecdotal storylines that help paint a memorable canvas of how Bahrain's Dilmun history would have been identified, to the more "modern" day kingdom rule since the 1700's, peppered with deeply rooted, rich religious historical impacts from the Grand Mosque to time-defying tree.
