Sightseeing in Bahrain :
Tree of Life...
Way into the desert stands a broad, shady, mature mesquite tree in solitary splendour. The lone tree in a sea of sand almost seems like a mirage.
To this day, the tree's source of water remains a mystery. Some believe it gets its nourishment from an underground spring, but that doesn't explain the complete lack of vegetation in the area surrounding it.
Bahrain Fort :
this is one of the most important sites in Bahrain. The fort, located on the north coast, was built in the 14th century, but excavations in the area reveal it to be the site of settlements dating back to the Dilmun era, or around 3000 BC.
The fort itself is very much a part of Bahrain's history. In the early 1500s, the Portuguese saw Bahrain as a key point to protect their trade routes between India, Africa and Europe.
They invaded the island and set up military base at the Bahrain Fort. They strengthened the perimeter and erected new stone towers.
The fort is still sometimes referred to as the Portuguese Fort.
Arad Fort :
This 15th century fort was built in typical Arab style.
Close to the airport, the fort has been extensively renovated and presents a magnificent sight when illuminated at night.
Al Jasra :
The Al Jasra Handicraft Centre houses a number of traditional crafts.
Set up by the Tourism Directorate, each room at the centre puts different crafts on show, including palm weaving, pottery and woodwork.
Al Siyadi house :
(Shaikh Isa's House) in Muharraq, Beit Al Siyadi once belonged to a pearl merchant in the 19th century.
The house provides an excellent example of the best local architecture from that period.
Bait Al Qur'an :
The House of the Qur'an was built to accommodate a comprehensive and valuable collection of the Holy Qur'an and manuscripts, a concept which is unique in the Arabian Gulf. All visitors are welcome, and the complex comprises a mosque, a library, an auditorium, a school and museum consisting of five exhibition halls.
Al-Khamis Mosque :
The twin minarets of this ancient mosque are easily identifiable as you drive along the Sh. Salman Road. It's considered being one of the oldest relics of Islam in the region, and the foundation are believed to have been laid as early as 692AD. An inscription found on the site, however, suggests a foundation date sometimes during the 11th Century. It has since been rebuilt twice in both 14th & 15th centuries, when the minarets were constructed. The mosque has been partially restored recently.
Al Areen :
Located 20km south of Manama, this eight square km animal sanctuary contains rare and endangered species whose natural habitat is the Arabian peninsula.
Inhabitants of Al Areen Wildlife Park include the Arabian Oryx, which is virtually extinct in the wild, the Persian gazelle, springbok and impala.
Pearl Monument :
The impossible-to-miss Pearl Monument, which stands at the end of the Manama-Muharraq causeway is one of Bahrain's most recognisable symbols.
Six dhow 'sails' float into the air, holding in their midst a giant pearl.
A'ali :
visitor can fail to be fascinated watching artisans at work in A'ali which is the centre of Bahrain's pottery industry. The potters still fire their pieces using ancient kilns and traditional methods that have been handed down generation after generation. Many of the pieces resemble those found in ancient Dilmun digs.
Dilmun excavation :
The earliest recorded references to Bahrain date back to the third millennium BC, when it was known as Dilmun. An entire 100 by 150 metre village from the Dilmun era is presently being excavated, with the digs revealing breathtaking secrets of that period. The digs at Saar have proved the existence of a very organised lifestyle, with well-ordered roads, proper houses, workshops and a central marketplace.
For anyone even faintly interested in ancient civilisations, the site of the digs will be a hugely fascinating experience.
Barbar Temple :
Three temples, built one on top of the other, are providing vital clues to religious rites in the Dilmun era.
All three temples, constructed during the third and second millenniums, were dedicated to Enki, the god of wisdom and sweet water.
Legend has it that Enki lived in a subterranean palace covered in silver and lapis lazuli, near a fresh water lake
Seef Mall :
One of Bahrain's most popular shopping complexes, Seef Mall combines both modern and traditional elements in its architecture.
It is also home to world-renowned stores like Debenhams, BhS and Marks & Spencer.
The excellent food court and the superb cinemas at the mall have contributed to its popularity.
Bahrain mall :
Bahrain Mall. anchored by French hypermarket chain Geant, is rapidly becoming the country's number one shopping destination. Located in the same retail district as A'ali and Seef Malls, the recently opened complex has become a magnet for both residents and tourists.
Geant alone occupies some 150,000 square feet, and has 60 check-out counters. It sells everything from electronics and fashion to household items and fresh fish.
There are 90 other stores in the mall, ranging from international concepts like Lee Jeans, Body Shop and Starbucks to local favourites like Arabian Oud and Tarbouche Express.
The Gold Souq :
Bahrain gold is usually 21 carat and hallmark; it is available in an infinite number of styles, including traditional Bedouin designs as well as the more contemporary European jewelry. If you can't see what you want, then don't worry pieces can also be made to order.
Hewar Island :
Hewar Island is just a 90-minute ferry ride away from the mainland, but it is quite simply a whole new world. You will be greeted by pristine beaches, cool blue waters and rarely seen birds. Hewar Resort, the sole but classy hotel on the island, offers excellent sports and recreation facilities.
formula 1:
Motor sports have always been popular on the island, and interest is set to go into high gear when Bahrain becomes the first Middle Eastern country to stage a Formula-1 race in April 2004.
If you are a motor sports fan and can't be there for the big event, you can still enjoythe regular weekend drag races.
Not quite Formula One, but the souped-up vehicles provide their fair share of thrills and spills.
King Fahad Causeway :
Opened in 1986, this remarkable 15.5 miles (25km) feat of engineering links Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most expensive bridges in the world. The causeway traverses Umm Nasan Island, which is a sanctuary for wildlife, and at halfway point there is a facility area, including a restaurant, which you can visit even if you don't travel the whole distance to Saudi Arabia.
Horse Racing :
Bahrain's love of all things equestrian is further revealed in its splendid racetrack, together with a grandstand those seats 10.000 spectators. Meetings are held every Friday from October to March.
