Highlights
  • Al-Fatih Mosque (Great Mosque) - We’ll begin our tour at 9 AM at the e magnificent ‘Masjid al-Fatih’ or the Al Fateh Grand Mosque to gain a deeper insight into the Arabic culture and admire the beautiful Kulic calligraphy and fiberglass dome that ornaments the biggest mosque in the world.

(photo stop on Fridays)

  • Bahrain National Museum - Next, we’ll continue our quest by making our way towards the Bahrain National Museum and immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture of Bahrain, which accounts for more than 6000 years.

(closed on Tuesdays)

  • Qal’at al-Bahrain - A 10-minute drive west of Manama, on an ancient tell (mound created by centuries of urban rebuilding), the majestic Bahrain Fort stares out across the Gulf. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it is part of the Unesco World Heritage site believed to have been the capital of the ancient Dilmun Empire. As you wander the atmospheric excavations of residential, commercial, public, military and religious buildings, contemplate this: humans have continuously inhabited this site since 2300 BC.

(closed on Mondays)

  • Bab el-Bahrain Souk - Since you most certainly will be hungry, we’ll stop for a delicious lunch after we set our eyes on the Bab Al Bahrain to appreciate the historic architecture (lunch not included).

(photo stop on Fridays)

  • Bahrain International Circuit - Full of energy we’ll head off to the Bahrain International Circuit, where we will visit the souvenir shop & have an over look at the track, where the thrill and excitement will take over. We guarantee your heart will start racing!

  • Royal Camel Farm - All pumped up, we’ll head to Sakhir where we’ll say hello to the desert’s best friend – the camel –at the Camel Farm which houses the royal camels and falcons ( falcons during winter months only).

  • Oil Museum and first oil well - After greeting the friendly camels, we’ll move on to discover recent history at the 1st Oil Well.

  • Tree Of Life - You’ll have a chance to take in all the wonders you saw and recollect at the Tree of life. The Tree of Life or Shajarat-al-Hayat, as it is called in the local language, is a mesquite lonely tree that stands in the heart of Bahrain’s desert for over 400 years.

  • Dilmun Burial Mounds - Next stop the Dilmun Burial Mounds. There are more than 100,000 Dilmun-era burial mounds scattered across Bahrain, but none come close to the magnificence of the royal mounds in the historic village of A’Ali. That this was an important place in antiquity is evident from the 17 royal mounds constructed nearly 4000 years ago.

  • A’ali Pottery Workshop-alshugel pottery - Our tour will end with a stop for a well-deserved glimpse at traditional pottery crafts at A’Ali Pottery.

Good tour. - I did the FULL DAY TOUR ULTIMATE BAHRAIN which was very good. Covered a lot of the main tourist attractions. Tour was not rushed and we were given enough time in each place including a break for lunch. Transport was small but comfortable and there was complimentary WIFI too which was handy. Tour operator was easy to communicate with. I learnt a lot and really enjoyed it. Guide was lovely and friendly. The first half of the tour concentrates on the city area itself and then the afternoon covers the desert. They will collect you from your hotel and bring you back at the end. We started just before 09:00 and were back by 17:15. Small group. They will also provide complimentary water and juices. Lunch is bought at your own expense. Bahrain is a small country with not that much to see. Also, public transport is not really great so you will spend a lot of money otherwise with a taxi commuting between each location. This tour is a good option, as it covers all the main attractions at a reasonable price. I learnt and saw a lot.

Not worth the money - For the price this was a disappointing trip. It started at 9 AM and they told me it would go until six but they dropped me off at a marketplace at 3:30 and despite having told me I could pay an additional seven BHD and get a ride to the airport they dropped me off and told me I would be on my own to find an Uber to the airport. I guess, considering that the tour was 2 1/2 hours short, dropping me off at the airport should not have been that big of an extra inconvenience. It seems as if there was time. It’s a bit unclear why there wasn’t enough activities to fill up the rest of the time. I would recommend that if the tour is ending that early which they were insistent when I was asking about the ride to the airport, they couldn’t guarantee I get to the airport on time giving the impression that the tour always ran it’s full-time or even over, that they consider adding another stop or two to actually fill the full day considering the price that’s charged
