2025 Bahrain Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#Bahrain #Kingdom #middleeast Bahrain, known as the Pearl Island, or the country of millions of palm trees, is located in the heart of the Middle East, being its smallest unit. Sadly, there aren’t many palm trees left on the island but locals say that some 60-70 years ago their land was vividly green. At least before oil was found. Getting There - Bahrain can be reached by a number of major world airlines, such as Turkish Airlines, Emirates, including the domestic carrier Gulf Air. Optionally, you can reach Bahrain by car crossing the bridge connecting this small island to its large neighbour, Saudi Arabia. Attractions - Bahrain National Museum, World Trade Centre, Bahrain International Circuit, Amwaj Beach. Hotels - the Novotel Bahrain is a good choice as it has its private beach. Food & Restaurants - you’ll find plenty of restaurants in Manama and other areas of the island, serving the local cuisine. In case you prefer something more European or Asian in terms of food, it won’t be a problem either. Shopping - Bahrainis are fond of shopping centres, it’s one of their favourite time-killers, which is why you’ll see them here and there. Once you are fed up with them, you can go exploring the local markets where you will find the atmosphere of the Middle East. But it’s better to practise you bargaining skills before going there 😃

I went to Bahrain. Unfortunately, I only took these 9 pictures. Like many of my friends, I got to know Bahrain, an island country in the Persian Gulf, because of a stopover. Bahrain is not very big, so you can visit almost all the popular attractions during an 8-hour stopover here. Because the time was short, I had some regrets and only managed to take these nine satisfactory photos. P1. Bahrain World Trade Center: The world's first building to use wind turbines in its construction. P2. Bahrain Bay: A modern seaside area with luxury hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. P3-4. Manama Souq: Experience a traditional Arab market with spices, textiles and handicrafts. P5-6. Al-Fateh Mosque: The largest mosque in Bahrain, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. P7-8. Qal'at al-Bahrain: A UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing the history of the ancient Dilmun civilization. P9. Evening rush hour on the main road of Manama

This is Bahrain! A very beautiful place to visit for a short trip. Here are some moments captured to share and embrace you with the opportunity to take you on the move and explore for yourself. The heat makes Bahrain very difficult at times and you can take that moment to visit the grand mosque 🕌 in Bahrain to get insight of the culture and history. During the nights you can stroll around the bay and visit the museum. #bahrain #middleeast #travel

The Kingdom of Bahrain, located on the southwestern coast of the Arabian Sea, is entering its peak tourist season. The comfortable temperatures provide ideal conditions for exploring Bahrain's rich pearl diving culture. Visitors can experience pearl diving and explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Pearling Path." Bahrain is known as the "Island of Pearls" due to its proximity to underwater freshwater springs, which produce high-quality pearls. Bahrain's pearl diving industry has a history of over 4,000 years, and in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was a pillar of Bahrain's economy. Visitors to Bahrain can learn about Bahrain's pearl diving culture through the following three activities: 1. Explore the Pearling Path The UNESCO World Heritage Site Pearling Path is located on Muharraq Island near Bahrain's capital, Manama. It is a 3.5 km long path that connects 17 buildings in the historic district of Muharraq, as well as three oyster farms. In the 19th century, the pearl industry was an important part of Bahrain's economy, and this cultural site commemorates this brilliant historical heritage. The Pearling Path also includes parts of the natural coastline and the archaeological site of Bu Maher Fort, which has a rich historical connection to Bahrain's maritime and pearl diving heritage. 2. Pearl Diving Pearl diving is an important part of Bahrain's cultural heritage and offers interested visitors a unique opportunity to experience this traditional activity. Licensed diving centers Scuba Life and Delma Marine offer pearl diving programs that take visitors deep into Bahrain's maritime history. During the dive, visitors can collect up to 60 oysters and keep the pearls they find as souvenirs. A pearl diving pass costs about 5 Bahraini Dinars (about 96 RMB), making it an exciting experience for everyone. 3. Watch a Fjiri Performance Visitors can also immerse themselves in the soulful songs of Fjiri, a traditional musical performance that celebrates Bahrain's pearl diving history. Fjiri has been recognized by UNESCO and included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It combines music and dance, captivating listeners. This performance dates back to the late 19th century and was traditionally performed by pearl divers and pearl boat crews to express the hardships they faced at sea. Fjiri includes a choir and a soloist, accompanied by the simplest percussion instruments such as drums and cymbals. Visitors can witness this fascinating tradition at Dar Al Muharraq on the Pearling Path, a music house dedicated to the art of Fjiri. Whether you're a history buff, an adventurer, or a culture enthusiast, Bahrain's pearl experience will leave you with unforgettable memories.
