With an area roughly the size of Hamburg, Bahrain is one of the smaller Gulf states. This compactness allows you to experience all the diversity of the country in one trip. A good starting point is the capital Manama, which is very modern with its futuristic skyscrapers and glittering buildings. If you dive deeper into the big city, you also discover numerous beautiful mosques, winding alleyways and the traditional markets, the “souks”. Near the capital is one of the country’s most important sights – the Fort of Bahrain (Qal’at al-Bahrain), an impressive archaeological site that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Besides the dazzling capital and 5,000 years of history, Bahrain offers fascinating natural highlights: Admire the so-called “Tree of Life”, a single tree standing in the middle of Bahrain’s arid desert, which is a symbol for strength and endurance. Along the coastline, dreamy sandy beaches with crystal-clear water invite you to sunbathe and enjoy water sports. Day trips to untouched offshore islands are an unforgettable holiday experience!
Bahrain is the ideal destination to discover the Orient and the Arabian Peninsula.
