A 10-minute drive west of Manama, on an ancient tell (mound created by centuries of urban rebuilding), the majestic Bahrain Fort stares out across the Gulf. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it is part of the Unesco World Heritage site believed to have been the capital of the ancient Dilmun Empire. As you wander the atmospheric excavations of residential, commercial, public, military and religious buildings, contemplate this: humans have continuously inhabited this site since 2300 BC.

Full of energy we’ll head off to the Bahrain International Circuit, where we will visit the souvenir shop & have an over look at the track, where the thrill and excitement will take over. We guarantee your heart will start racing!
All pumped up, we’ll head to Sakhir where we’ll say hello to the desert’s best friend – the camel –at the Camel Farm which houses the royal camels and falcons ( falcons during winter months only).
After greeting the friendly camels, we’ll move on to discover recent history at the 1st Oil Well.
You’ll have a chance to take in all the wonders you saw and recollect at the Tree of life. The Tree of Life or Shajarat-al-Hayat, as it is called in the local language, is a mesquite lonely tree that stands in the heart of Bahrain’s desert for over 400 years.
Next stop the Dilmun Burial Mounds. There are more than 100,000 Dilmun-era burial mounds scattered across Bahrain, but none come close to the magnificence of the royal mounds in the historic village of A'Ali. That this was an important place in antiquity is evident from the 17 royal mounds constructed nearly 4000 years ago.
Our tour will end with a stop for a well-deserved glimpse at traditional pottery crafts at A’Ali Pottery.
