TOUR DETAILS

One could wander on the streets and through the history of Manama for days, weeks and even months. At every corner and behind every stone there’s a story to be uncovered, told and enjoyed. However, if time is scarce and you only have a few hours to taste the essence of Manama, you need a quintessential guide that will offer you the frame of the stunning picture that is Bahrain. As the clock hits 9:00 AM, you’ll step into our sightseeing bus and embark on an unforgettable tour with an expert guide - the kind of storyteller guide that knows the inside-outs of Manama. Our first stop will be at the at the impressive Al-Fateh Mosque, one of the biggest mosques in the world. Here, we’ll gain a deeper insight into the Arabic culture and admire the beautiful Kulic calligraphy and fiberglass dome that stand testimony of its greatness.If you’re lucky enough to visit on a Friday, we’ll make a quick photo stop to snap a fantastic memory. We’ll continue our historical quest with a visit to the Bahrain National Museum and immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture of Bahrain which accounts for more than 6000 years. Next, we’ll head to the Muharraq Souq and have a taste of the delectable Bahraini ‘Halwa’ and make an unforgettable stop at the Old Houses of Muhharaq and Bahrain Fort to revive the Bahraini tradition. We’ll end the tour at the Bab al Bahrain, where we’ll try to reconstruct with our imagination what Bahrain looked some hundreds of years ago when this gate stood close to the water’s edge. Around 1:00 PM we’ll return to the hotel with a photo gallery filled with memories. Get some much-needed rest, grab a traditional bite to eat and make the best of the leisure time.
