Moustache Man

by Cielo_Algaeed

I have heared about this guy from my husband when he used to travel to Dubai for business. Seeing is believing! The guy who has a very long moustache..and we met him! He is of Turkish origin who travels between Bahrain and Dubai. His long moustache is his source of income....can you imagine that? It took him almost 20 years to grow it and now the long wait pays off :-) more money! hahahahaA snapshot using your own camera will cost you 2.00Dinars while its 3.00Dinars if you will use his camera.

by googoosh

These things pump the oil to bring it to the surface - they're known here as nodding donkeys. Bahrain was the first Gulf state to find oil and there's a museum dedicated to this fact. (with a piece of dinosaur skin on show). These silly things are fun to try and spot; there's also a camel and a bird somewhere. How to get there: You'll find the girraffe by the Awali Town gates (see instruction on how to get there under the picture of the tree of life). Just remember to take water with you, just in case.

Trash drifts.

by american_tourister

Trash drifts. Some places have snow drifts or sand drifts or tumbleweed drifts. This is the only place I saw trash drifts. Some areas of the island are neat and prim but in some there are piles of trash. I hope they have cleaned it up since I was there.

Best beach on the whole island!

by frockland

There is one exellent beach. It belongs to one of the prince palaces and is open to the public. You have to go to Az-Zallaq. When the main road turns left you have to turn right onto a smaller road and after about 100m left into the garden of the palace. The guards near the entrance will ask you "Do you have a camera?" Say no and you are welcome. There are soft drinks for free, a nice grass field for sunbathing, clean toilettes and no hassles for women when they are wearing bikini!Sometimes the prince is showing up inviting people to his yacht!

by googoosh

This old house is behind the Gulf Hotel. The best way to find it is to drive along the main highway, from the Gulf Hotel, towards Mina Sulman port. It'll be on your right hand side. There's lots of decorative plaster work, and often the goats come looking for food.
