What To Expect
Dilmun Burial Mounds
Burial Mounds: These archaeological mounds are of great historical importance going back to the Dilmun civilization in the third millennium BC. Other archaeological mounds, which go back to the Hellenistic period of Alexander the Great (330 BC) are also found in various areas in Bahrain. The most imposing mounds are those believed to be the Dilmunite Royal Tombs. These tombs are seen in A'ali close to modern dwellings.
Al Khamis Mosque
Al Khamis Mosque: It is considered to be one of the oldest mosques in the region, as its foundation is believed to have been laid as early as 692 AD. An inscription found on the site, however, suggests a foundation date of sometime during the 11th century. It has since been rebuilt twice in both the 14th and 15th centuries, when the minarets were constructed.

5.00Tour guide Angela made my trip to Bahrain unforgettable with her deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the city's history. She was incredibly knowledgeable about every landmark, offering fascinating stories about the “tree of life”. Her friendly demeanor and sense of humor made the tour both educational and fun. Angela and the driver Khattab even went out of their way to recommend great local juice/cafe place and took us to a hidden gem that wasn't on the usual tourist route. I highly recommend Angela for anyone visiting Bahrain — her passion and knowledge made my trip one to remember.
