Bahrain, known as the 'island of two seas', is a gem in the Persian Gulf that harmoniously blends a glorious millenary past with a futuristic and sophisticated vision. Unlike its neighbors, Bahrain retains an authentic soul where the ancient Dilmun civilization lives on in UNESCO-protected archaeological sites, while the capital, Manama, soars with designer skyscrapers and absolute luxury resorts.
Bahrain's history is inextricably linked to natural pearl diving. Real Experience: We recommend visiting Qal'at al-Bahrain (the Portuguese Fort) at sunrise; the golden light hitting the ancient limestone provides a magical glimpse of the modern city skyline. Don't miss a stroll through the Bab Al Bahrain Souq, where the scents of frankincense and spices transport you to a bygone era, ideal for buying fine fabrics and unique jewelry.
Bahraini cuisine is a dance of flavors mixing Persian, Indian, and Arabic influences. The national dish, Machboos, is best enjoyed in the traditional restaurants of Adliya, the capital's bohemian and culinary heart. For fine dining lovers, Bahrain offers international excellence with world-renowned chefs. Expert Tip: Book a table at sunset in one of the bay-view restaurants to savor the best of Asian fusion cuisine surrounded by stunning design.
For adrenaline seekers, the Bahrain International Circuit offers the thrill of racing on the tracks of Formula 1 champions. If you prefer tranquility, a private desert excursion to see the Tree of Life (Shajarat-al-Hayat), which has survived for 400 years with no apparent water source, is a mystical experience we recommend pairing with a Bedouin dinner under the stars.
