What you can expect

  • Step into the storey of ancient Bahrain on this immersive UNESCO journey.
    Begin at the Royal Dilmun Burial Mounds in A’Ali, dating back to 1700 B.C., where your guide brings to life one of the world’s largest prehistoric cemeteries.

    Continue to Qal’at Al Bahrain, a majestic seaside fort built over the ruins of the legendary Dilmun civilisation. Walk through layers of history and uncover the secrets of this once-thriving trading hub.

    Then wander through the atmospheric streets of old Muharraq, the heart of Bahrain’s Pearling Path heritage. Experience the charm of the pre-oil era as you explore traditional houses, hidden courtyards, and beautifully restored landmarks.

    Along the way, indulge in local sweets and aromatic Arabic coffee, browse spices and perfumes, and discover stunning museums reimagined by world-renowned architects.
