Bahrain sights

Al Jasrah House
Al Jasrah House is a place worth seeing in Bahrain to appreciate the majesty of the ruling dynasty and see how true kings live. Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa was born in this summer holiday house. But that is not the only thing that attracts tourists here. The building is aesthetically beautiful and a fine example of Islamic classical architecture. Of the original features, the façade is finished with plaster, coral and other materials that are purely of local origin.

The Tree of Life in Bahrain
The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a Bahraini landmark that has no counterpart anywhere else in the world. The acacia tree, which grew in the heart of the desert over four hundred years ago, has no source of moisture but does not die. Finding the natural anomaly is extremely easy - it is on top of a 25-metre hill two kilometres away from Jebel Dukhan. Many locals believe that the long-lived plant is located exactly where the Gardens of Eden were thousands of years ago.

Fort Arad
Fort Arad - If you're a military history buff or just want to learn more about the country, then among the things to see in Bahrain, this Arabian-style fortress is a must-see. Despite the reconstruction work that has been carried out, the authenticity of the visual appearance of the fort, built back in the fifteenth century, has been preserved.

King Fahd Bridge
King Fahd Bridge is the largest road crossing in the region and connects the country to Saudi Arabia. Spanning 25 kilometers, the bridge, named after a ruler of a neighboring state, cost more than $1.2 billion, with no local government involved in financing this Bahrain landmark (Saudi Arabia paid for everything). Construction work was carried out over five years, and it was first opened in 1986. In fact, it is a grandiose complex of dams and bridges consisting of three structural elements, which all together make a lasting impression. In times of turmoil, it is used to move soldiers as quickly as possible.

Qalat al-Bahrain
Qalat Al Bahrain is a fortification complex that was built more than five thousand years ago (subsequently the number of towers increased) and has remained almost in its original form. The buildings are of different styles and vary in purpose - so far, scientists have found temples, residential buildings, places of public assemblies and an analogue of barracks. Archaeological excavations are still underway at this UNESCO-protected site (no more than 25 percent has been excavated), so some areas are closed to tourists. It is confirmed that this Bahraini landmark used to be a Portuguese port through which merchant ships passed. Now it is an archaeological site worth seeing with your own eyes.

Bahrain World Trade Center
The Bahrain World Trade Center is a monumental structure with an original design in the form of two enormous sails built by local builders right on the coast. The towers are connected by three passages and the total height of the skyscrapers reaches 240 meters. This is one of the places worth visiting in Bahrain, at least to admire the unimaginable views of the Persian Gulf, which open from the observation deck on the forty-second floor. Tourists can also do a lot of shopping and have lunch or dinner here. Most of the offices of local and foreign companies are located here.
