Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bahrain National Museum, Al Fatih Highway, Manama Bahrain

Bahrain National Museum: One of the first museums in the Gulf, the Bahrain National Museum opened in 1988. The site itself, on the edge of the sea, is a tremendous attraction, adding to its contemporary ambience which is influenced by the white travertine façade and dramatic courtyard decorated with contemporary

sculptures. The exhibition halls showcase artefacts uncovered in the numerous archaeological sites in Bahrain and underpinning the longstanding history of the island. The rich collection covers 6000 years of Bahrain’s history. In addition to the archaeological exhibits, two halls are dedicated to local customs and traditions, featuring clothing, housing, rituals and traditional crafts.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Qal'at al-Bahrain, Karbabad Area Seef District, Manama Bahrain

Bahrain Fort (Qal'at Al Bahrain): Thought to be once the centre of power for the ancient Dilmun civilization, Qal'at Al Bahrain (Bahrain Fort) has UNESCO World Heritage status. The Bahrain Fort occupies a strategic military position where the navigation movement could be watched. Excavations have revealed ancient soldier's barracks, horse stables, an ammunition depot, a secret passageway, ceramic utensils and Islamic and Chinese currency coins.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Royal Camel Farm, King Fahad Causeway, Manama Bahrain

Royal Camel Farm: This is a privately owned Camel Farm and it is a must for people whose only contact with camels has been at a zoo or on television. The camel is a large, strong desert animal. Camels can travel great distances across hot, dry deserts with little food or water. They walk easily on soft sand where trucks would get stuck and carry people and heavy loads to places that have no roads. Camels also serve the people of the desert in many other ways. The camel carries its own built-in food supply on its back in the form of a hump. The hump is a large lump of fat that provides energy if food is hard to find.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: King Fahd Causeway, Saar Bahrain

King Fahad Causeway: Opened in 1986, this remarkable 25km feat of engineering

links Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most expensive bridges in the world.The causeway traverses Umm Al Nasan Island, which is a sanctuary for wildlife, and at the halfway point there is a facility area, including a tower restaurant, which you

can visit even if you don't travel the whole distance to Saudi Arabia.

Note: The tower is under reconstruction.
