Know More about this tour


Bahrain Fort: Thought to be once the centre of power for the ancient Dilmun civilization, Qal'at Al Bahrain (Bahrain Fort) has UNESCO World Heritage status. The Bahrain Fort occupies a strategic military position where the navigation movementcould be watched. Excavations have revealed ancient soldier's barracks, horse stables, an ammunition depot, a secret passageway, ceramic utensils and Islamic and Chinesecurrency coins. Bahrain Fort Museum : Open to the public since 2008, the site museum display area consists of 5 exhibition halls organized around a massive Wall. With 500 artefacts showcased, the long settlement history of the site is evoked to the unique backdrop of the wall, which recreates the different archaeological layers uncovered at the site.
Burial Mounds: These archaeological mounds are of great historical importance going back to the Dilmun civilization in the third millennium BC. Other archaeological mounds, which go back to the Hellenistic period of Alexander the Great (2500 BC) are also found in various areas in Bahrain. The most imposing mounds are those believed to be the Dilmunite Royal Tombs. These tombs are seen in A'ali close to modern dwellings.
Al Jasrah Handicraft Center: It is located close to Al Jasra House and is worth visiting as it offers varieties of homemade handicraft. This center encourages the craftsman and artisans, urging them to continue working in this distinctive field which requires major effort, and precise skills, by providing support to ensure the development of this industry while maintaining the original characteristics of the Bahraini products.
Royal Camel Farm: This farm was owned by His Highness Late Shaikh Mo h a me d Bi n S a l ma n Al Kh a l i f a , t h e u n c l e o f t h e Ki n g of Bahrain. There are more than 500 camels in this farm. Have your camera ready to pose with the camels, as they are very friendly.
