Fabulous Bahrain Tour! - We had a wonderful tour with Maher. He was extremely professional, fun, and offered a wealth of information and insight into the culture and history of Bahrain. It was great to see the highlights of the country beyond the city center.
Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bahrain!

Friendly Informative Tour - We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves. Having already visited the camel farm, our guide was happy to substitute it for the Dhow boat building much to the delight of my father-in-law. Our guide was informative, witty and even tried some German for the benefit of my inlaws who speak only a little English. All round we would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially to those who might find an all day tour too exhausting.

Bahrain and Saudi Arabia tour, definitely worth it! - Mr. Maher is a very pleasant and educated guide, the time spent with him during the tour of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was a very pleasant experience, we learned a lot about the culture of the countries, customs and he was willing to answer all my questions, which were many :)

Informative Half day Tour with a great Host - Had pleasant exchanges thru WhatsApp before the tour and Maher was polite, courteous and very well versed from the beginning to the end of the tour.
Prompt pick up, comfortable vehicle and the tour was just the right amount of time (just over four hours)
Maher was very well briefed and even during travelling from site to site Maher educated us with relevant factual information.
The tour consisted of visits to :
A Camel Farm
Bahrain F1 Circuit
Bahrain's first oil well
The Tree of Life
A local Pottery workshop
We never felt rushed & there was ample time for interaction & taking pictures. Maher was a great host & couldn't be faulted. He even found time to go to a local Garden Centre as we was trying to source a particular type of plant. Thank you Maher.

Half Day Well Spent - The best way to see the unique sites outside the city is experiencing it with a local. The 1/2 day tour was much more than we expected and we are so grateful for Maher for a fantastic experience. The tour description was accurate. We never felt rushed, stopped for some extra photo ops, and most importantly, the information provided to us during our drive times and at each location was very informative and appreciated.
