Full day Bahrain sight-seeing experience - We had done the Bahrain one full day sight-seeing by Car, arrange by my friend.
We started the trip at 9 am. He was there at the reception.
We started with Al-Fateh Mosque. Since it was Friday, Mosque not opened/allowed for visitors. Then, we visited historic Fort. Subsequently went to Camel farm. But it was closed (not allowed for visitors for last 1 year, as per security guard). We took, some pictures from outside. Then, we went to ALi Pottery & they showed us how to make pottery from clay, It was a good experience.
Our next location was "Tree of Life", it was a long journey. It is a normal tree, very old one, not worth to travel this much. We have searched for "1st Oil Well", but couldn't locate it. Since we had to reach BIC & did not have much time, we directed to BIC for 2 pm visit.
In BIC, visit is at 10 & 2 pm, 7 BD is charge. Better to book in advance as only 8 persons are allowed. As per request, they allowed us also. One Guide will come & he will take us into inside BIC in a small van. He will take us into the Control tower, track, etc. and explain about various details. We took so many pictures also of BIC.
After lunch, we have visited Dragon mall & took around 1-2 hours there. On the way, we visited one beach also.
Our Gude cum Driver was Mr. Mursheed & he is very polite & nice person. He is very co-operative & helpful in nature. Anybody can contact him in his number for the service: +973 37790890.

Highly recommended tour when in Bahrain - Thank you for a wonderful tour and a great morning spent in Bahrain! We truly enjoyed Hasher‘s company and took advantage of his vast knowledge. The tours are as much personalized as possible, very informative and extremely well organized. We would book another tour with Airhome Travels in a heartbeat. Thank you, Hasher, for a very pleasant experience and, isa, see you again one day.

A quick tour of Manama, Bahrain - We had a wonderful tour with Hashe. We have had many Viator tours around the world and Hashe is by far one of the best. He was friendly and professional. He provided us with the necessary information about his country, which he dearly love. He took us to various sites and patiently waited for us. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see the highlights of Manama.

The best tour in Bahrain - I had the best 1,5 days tour with Hashir! First I did a half day Bahrain city tour, then a day tour to Saudi Arabia. He was very knowledgeable about the history of each place we visited and I felt like there was nothing I could ask that he wouldn’t know the answer for. The itinerary was great, we avoided all the lines and traffic and ate some really nice local food as well. I could change some things too if I wanted to skip a sight and stay at another one longer. But what’s most important as a solo female traveller is that I felt completely safe during the tours, I could relax and only focus on the beauty of the sights, which was really appreciated. Also, I never thought this would happen, but I can say that by the end of the second day I made a new friend! So thank you Hashir for all the nice conversations, for your patience with taking my photos for instagram, for being yourself, and of course for you not giving up the chase after a basketball court in Saudi so I could shoot some hoops! :)

Nice tour of a very likeable city and it's surroundings. - Great overall perspective on Manana and it's history and surroundings.
Hasher is a friendly, knowledgeable guide and very fluent in English.
Enjoyed the 5-6 hours of going around the city and suburban areas of Manana, Bahrain.

Bahrain - This tour was just the right amount of time and provided great detail about Bahrain. Hasher was very knowledgeable about the city & its history.
He was such a great guide I booked a second tour to Al-Ahsa the next day.

Bahrain experience in time crunch - This is a good way to see Bahrain if you’re in a time crunch. Hasher is a great tour guide - hospitable and friendly! I got picked up from the hotel and was dropped off at the airport. Great tour overall! Will do another tour with Airhome travel if I ever go back to Bahrain :)
