What is the mysterious tree found in the desert of Bahrain?
The Tree of Life. The Tree of Life or Sharajat-al-Hayat as it's known locally, is an ancient tree of almost mystical proportions found in Bahrain. The solitary tree is found growing all alone near the highest point of Bahrain — surrounded by empty desert and occasional oil wells.
How does the tree of life in Bahrain survive?
It is not certain how the tree survives. Bahrain has little to no rain throughout the year. Its roots are 50 meters (160 ft) deep, which may be enough to reach the water. Others believe the tree has learned to extract moisture from grains of sand.
