LIVE OIL WELLS

Watch the extraction of oil from wells.

FIRST OIL WELL & OIL MUSEUM

The first oil production well in the Arabian Gulf. Oil was first discovered in this area of the world from this well on 16 October 1931. The museum showcases the history of the oil industry in Bahrain. The Oil Museum houses some fascinating exhibits, including drilling equipment, documents, old photographs and a working model of an oil rig.

TREE OF LIFE

The Tree of Life or Shajarat-al-Hayat, as it is called in Arabic, is a mesquite lonely tree that exists in the heart of Bahrain’s desert. Aged just over 400 years young and over 32 feet in height, it continues growing despite the extreme temperatures, lack of fresh water, and nutrients.

RIFFA FORT

The Shaikh Salman bin Ahmed Al-Fateh Fort, commonly known as the Riffa Fort due to its location in Riffa, is a historic landmark and stands witness to one of the most important junctures in Bahrain’s history.

BURIAL MOUNDS

Amongst Bahrain’s mysterious ancient remains are the thousands of burial mounds that dominate the landscape north of the Island. Spanning the Dilmun era (3rd to 1st millennium BC) to the Tylos era (200 BC to 300 AD) the burial mounds are unique in terms of sheer number and concentration. The best-preserved and most impressive mounds are the royal burial mounds in the village of A’ali.

AALI POTTERY

Watch the potters in action using the old-fashioned foot-operated wheel, and baking the finished pots in kilns built into the nearby burial mounds; a method passed down through generations. A great place to learn about one of Bahrain’s most treasured traditions.

LUNCHTIME for traditional Arabic lunch or optional preferences.

FORMULA 1 CIRCUIT

Venue for the planet’s biggest racing event – Formula One Grand Prix. Bahrain’s Grand Prix made history as the first Formula One Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East and was awarded the Best Organized Grand Prix by FIA. We will have a full tour of F1 circuit which includes Sakhir Tower, Race Control Tower, Media Centre, and BIC Welcome Centre.

ROYAL CAMEL FARM

Providing a unique insight into a treasured element of Bahraini culture, the farm is home to over 500 camels of all ages and sizes. Before the introduction of cars to the country, camels were the primary means of transport for the people of Bahrain, as they are ideal to travel distances in the humid and dry climate. Have your cameras ready to catch some memorable moments with The Ship of the Desert.
