The Bahrain World Trade Centre

by MM212

Completed in 2008 by the international architectural firm Atkins, the 240-metre Bahrain World Trade Centre was yet another large scale project aimed at maintaining Bahrain's image as a regional business centre. Since their construction, they have become the absolute landmark symbol of Bahrain, and the inclusion of the luxurious Moda Mall below has also made them a destination. The turbines in the middle were meant to generate enough power to sustain the building, but unfortunately tenants complained of dizzying vibration they caused, so they've been fixed in place ever since. The two towers of the BWTC are located on the northern Manama corniche, close to the Financial Harbour twin buildings. For modern architecture lovers, these structures are an object of admiration.

MUHARRAQ

by Airpunk

The capital of Bahrain is Manama and that is also what most tourists will see when they come to visit Bahrain. However, few are aware that they also see another city on the way from the airport to the city centre: Muharraq, located on the idland of the same name, is the island where the airport is located. If you are interested in Bahraini life beyond Manama, this is the eassiest place to go. Muharraq will give you a more authentic view on everyday life, especially the area around the Souq. While wandering along the streets, you can see the small shops which are used by the locals, discover beautiful old houses and little interesting mosques. Some of then houses are even mentioned in travel guides and are well-known for their beautifully carved wooden doors. Old trades and arts are still practiced in some corners of Muharraq, somje of which can be seen and bought in the Souq. Other...

MANAMA

by Airpunk

Most sights in Bahrain are located in Manama and can be found on my Manama page. This includes not only the sights in central Manama or at Juffair such as Al Fateh Mosque, but also the nearby sights close to the sea such as Bahrain Fort, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Central Manama has kept some of its original flair, but also here skyscrapers and a modernizing tourism industry. I have decided to put all Bahrain "things to do" which are located in Manama on my Manama page. Please check out that page for more details on Bahrain's capital and its sights.Places of interest in or close to Manama include:Bahrain FortBahrain Fort MuseumBahrain National MuseumAl Fateh MosqueBahrain World Trade CenterManama SouqBab Al Bahrainand many more...

Off the beaten path

by mayrana

There are TONS of things to do in Bahrain that are off the beaten path. The usual touristy things, like the souks and forts are nice but to really experience Bahrain you have to do it through the food and the people. During the day take a boat from Al Dar islands (it comes with a driver, life jackets, and soft drinks) and ask them to take you to Jarada island. It is BEAUTIFUL. Everytime we go we meet different locals there, barbequing and hanging out on the beach, and everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is great. The island is around for a few hours during the day as its a tidal island so make sure you go during daylight hours (Al Dar will be able to tell you a good time to go).In Muharraq there is an area that is just paved and you can only walk through it as the streets are so narrow, and once you do it's a fantastic place to explore as there are these little houses that have...

Beit al-Quran Museum

by MM212

A rather elegant museum, Beit al-Quran was recently built in the traditional Bahraini religious architecture to house an amazing and extremely rare collection of ancient Qurans (Islam's holy book) dating as far back as the 7th century AD. Throughout Islamic history, Qurans became a form artistic expression with beautiful calligraphy and colourful drawings. The museum is very nicely laid out and walks the visitor through the development of the Quran, its art, and Arabic calligraphy over time and across the various dominant Islamic empires. The museum is somewhat small and can be seen in less than an hour, but it is very educational and well worth a visit.

The Lost Paradise of Dilmun - Water Park

by muratkorman

In one of the hot days in Bahrain, you should enjoy the full day in LPOD Water Park. The attractions are good for the whole family, both kids and adults. You can easily fill your whole day trying different atractions and relaxing. If you have internet access, you can check diferent promotions available from the website and get some discounts. Definitely, a weekday visit would leave all attractions for your use while the fridays are to be avoided.

The national pastime in Bahrain

by muratkorman

What is the best thing to do in hot and humid desert? Shopping in a well air-conditioned shoping mall and enjoying meals in fancy restaurants inside the same shopping mall could be a good answer. There are many shopping malls to make these wishes come true in Bahrain. Personal suggestion : this is the best thing to do during noon time.

Scuba Diving and PADI or TDI Certification

by mochaman340

If you want to dive in Bahrain, look us Scubamaster in Manama. The shop is co-owned by a local named Ahmed AlKhalfan. He is a great instructor, patient and a great teacher. His english is great and he has great facilities and a decent boat to get to places on. His customer service is unparalled and I did my Open Water there with him. I highly recommend anyone diving in the area look him up. He has a full shop with lots of toys to purchase and the people he dives with are phenomenal. I highly recommend him. Send me an email if you want more details. I regularly take trips there to dive because its a good time although Manama is not known for its great dive spots.
