Incredible & amazing tour - Mr. Maher is amazing

We took the half day bahrain tour covering 6 things away from Manama city. Mr. Maher was our guide for a half-day trip in Bahrain, and he was truly outstanding. His deep knowledge of the country—its history, culture, economy, and even the small details we were curious about—made the experience incredibly enriching. He explained everything with such clarity and patience that we left the tour feeling inspired and much more connected to Bahrain. I highly recommend Mr. Maher to anyone visiting. We are so grateful our paths crossed, and Inshallah (إن شاء الله), we look forward to taking more tours with him during our future visits. Shukran jazeelan (شكراً جزيلاً), Mr. Mahed, for an unforgettable experience. Wishing you continued success and blessings always—maʿa as-salāma (مع السلامة).
Great day out with Maher

Undertook this tour as suggested by Sal our Concierge at Hilton Hotel. Well conducted by the young Indian Lady. Never experienced a tour like this in my visits to the middle East... The camel farm and visit to the first oil well and tree of life was excellent. When i sighed a beautiful dome and asked our guide.. She told us it was a church and kindly let o us visit the cathedral at Awali..a must see.
Interesting tour

It was very interesting, the guide knew a lot of things in detail and also explained a lot during the trip. Everything was also well organised and we were picked up on time.
I'd go again!

We had a wonderful tour with Maher. He was extremely professional, fun, and offered a wealth of information and insight into the culture and history of Bahrain. It was great to see the highlights of the country beyond the city center. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bahrain!
