Bahrain Travel Guide
Bahrain guides checked against the operators before publishing, not repeated from another blog. The Formula 1 circuit, Al Fateh Grand Mosque, Manama and more.
The smallest of the four, built around one real day
The circuit, the mosque and the towers, in the order Diego actually covered them in a single day in Manama.
The Tree of Life: how old, how far
440 years by the tourism board’s own count, not the vague “over 400” everyone repeats, and measured by real road from Manama.
Closed earlier in the week than you’d guess
Free entry, free tours, but shut to tourists all day Friday, now confirmed by three independent sources instead of none.
The fee, and the museum it gets confused with
2 BD by the government’s own fee schedule, not the figure a couple of listings show, plus the hours and a measured distance from Manama.
The gate everyone photographs isn’t the market
Real shop hours, what Bab Al Bahrain actually is, and a two-century gap between sources on how old the souq behind it really is.
