Tree of Life: Tree of life ?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Is this why people of Bahrain ( ancient Dilmun ) are " eternally youthful ? "...why is it called Tree of Life ? somthing like fountain of youth ?

    You cant really find the history of her existence but her mere presence in the area ( southern Bahrain ) where 2/3 of the land is mostly covered by desert , you find this big green tree which is so full of life ... a 400 year old mesquite tree. It is marvelously big, with several low branches extending out in various directions, just crying out to be climbed upon.

    The source of its water is still a mystery ...dont miss it ..coz who knows maybe the aura of this tree is better than all the anti wrinkle creams you can find in the stores ....

    Tree of Life: Mysterious tree
  • Tip Rating:
  • When we heard about this famous miraculous tree my hubby and I got interest to see this tree we bought a map just to reach this place and we were not failed to find it. It’s standing alone on middle of the desert still surviving, pretty big with several low braches. Its looks to matured the stems are solid the leaves still fresh green and believe it or not they said it is a 500 years old tree.

    When we got here, there were a couple of foreigners that were also wondering about the tree, they climbed up and happy as we did.
    The tree’s source of water remains a mystery some others belief that it gets nourishing from the underground but no one knows why this tree still surviving.

  • The Tree of Life is a single tree sitting in the middle of the desert. The tree is fed by an unknown source. It's a very beautiful site to see one of God's creations in a particular location. The tree is known to have been in its place for hundreds of years, and many experts can not figure out how a single tree has grown so large in such a desolate place.

    Tree of Life: Go visit the Tree of Life....
  • Tip Rating:
  • Go visit the Tree of Life. It's a large, green, mesquite tree slap bang in the middle of a desert.

    There are more pictures in the travelogue
    It's been there for hundreds of years and is the only tree for miles. It's also the only tree ever to have been mentioned by name, in a film, by Steve Martin (the American comedian). If that helps.

  • Standing alone in the desert about 1.2 miles (two kilometers) from the Jebel Dukhan, this flourishing mystic tree provides welcome shade from the heat of the day, although its source of water remains a mystery.

  • The tree of life is old. No one is sure how old but it is a least 800 years old. It is a type of creosote or mesquite type of tree. I am not quite sure which species it is but it is a revered reminder to the locals of their old culture and ancient history.

    The Tree of Life is a huge tree standing in the middle of the desert. It looks completely out of place because there is no other vegetation around. Nobody knows how the tree survives so it assumed to be a miracle.
    It is just so odd looking, also a good excuse to go for a drive in the desert.

    Tree of Life: The Tree of Life
    Located in the middle of the desert and quite hard to find, the Tree of Life, a 400 year old mesquite tree, stands alone. It is a mystery as to how it stays so green and alive in the waterless desert.
