Top Things to Do in Manama "Top Things To Do in Manama" A city that has witnessed changes of several kingdoms, Manama has a unique landscape. Ancient mosques and traditional souks co-exist with glitzy skyscrapers and swanky nightclubs to create a versatile city life. Created by: Cityseeker 10 Locations Bookmarked Tree of Life "An Incredible Green Phenomenon" A striking symbol of life amidst barren, lifeless deserts, the Tree of Life is one of the most inexplicable natural wonders in Bahrain. Known as Sharajat-al-Hayat, the 400-year-old Prosopis Cineraria or Khejri tree is the only one standing in the infinite expanse of the mighty Arabian desert sands. In a land where rainfall is scanty and vegetation is scarce, the tree by Alawadhi3000 is surprisingly covered with bright green leaves. While no concrete scientific explanation has been found, the tree is known to hold enormous amounts of water in its roots. The mystery of the tree's verdure has been associated with the Babylonian and Sumerian mythology; where the god of water, Enki, blesses the tree with an abundance of water even in the arid desert. +973 1755 8800 (Tourist Information) Off Musakar Highway, Manama Qal’at al-Bahrain "Ancient Fort" This former seat of the ancient Dilmun civilization sits on Bahrain’s northern coast, an abandoned yet enduring fragment of the country’s long- lost past. What remains of the capital is essentially a pale Portuguese Fort built on an artificial mound or a ‘tell’, a layered hill that is indicative of the life and times of various settlements that lived here until the 18th Century. by Martin Falbisoner The series of excavations carried out allude to the site’s rich history that goes back 5000 years, and reveals a series of antiquities that lay hidden for centuries under seven layers of the tell. Unearthed objects include specimens of barbar pottery, metal artifacts, pots and vessels from the Dilmun civilization. Located not far from Bahrain’s bustling capital city of Manama, the Qal'at al-Bahrain is a stunning archaeological discovery in modern times. +973 1729 8545 culture.gov.bh/en/visitingbahrain/C Bahrain Fort Walkway, Karbadabad, ulturalTourism/Destinations/Name,9 Manama 969,en.php City Centre Bahrain "Quintessential Shopping Experience!"
