Next, head into the vast desert to marvel at the famous Tree of Life. This ancient mesquite tree stands alone in a barren landscape, its water source remaining a mystery.

This is Bahrain’s oldest and only dhow-building yard. The towering masts of the finished dhows greet visitors, while the scent of timber and the sound of the sea breeze evoke the island’s seafaring legacy.
Next, visit the historic Bahrain Fort, a landmark dating back to the 14th century, originally built by the Portuguese. Excavations at the site reveal evidence of multiple historical periods, including the Dilmun era, around 3000 BC, when the fort may have served as the island’s capital.
Afterward, head to the Handicrafts Centre to watch skilled craftsmen from Bahrain’s villages at work, and enjoy some free time to shop for unique local handicrafts.
