Bahrain Manama Day Trip from South to North with Tree of Life, Oil Well, Camel Farm, Circuit, and More
by Bahrain Travellers
Overview
This full-day bus tour lasts about six hours and provides a broad look at Bahrain from south to north. It begins with hotel pickup and drop-off in Manama. The journey starts with a visit to Al-Fateh Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques worldwide, which can hold up to 7,000 worshippers. On Fridays, access inside the mosque is restricted for non-Muslims, so the visit will be limited to exterior views and photography. Next, the tour moves to the Tree of Life, a solitary tree growing in the desert without visible water sources, known for its unusual survival. Then, the tour stops at the location of Bahrain’s first oil well and Oil Museum, marking the discovery of the first oil field in the Persian Gulf region. The route continues with a visit to the Royal Camel Farm, where visitors can see camels closely and take photos. Afterward, the Bahrain International Circuit is visited; opened in 2004, it was the first Formula 1 track in an Arab country. The tour also includes a stop at Qal'at al-Bahrain (Bahrain Fort), an archaeological site and UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 2005, highlighting Bahrain’s historical significance. The final stop is Souq Bab Al Bahrain, the traditional market offering time to explore local spices, try Bahraini dishes, or shop for souvenirs. Bottled water, snacks, and air-conditioned transport are included, but lunch and gratuities are not. Smoking is prohibited inside the vehicle.
