Reisroute
Fort van Bahrein: Qal'at Al Bahrain, dat ooit het centrum van de macht voor de oude Dilmun-beschaving was, heeft de status Werelderfgoed van de UNESCO. Het fort van Bahrein bezet een strategische militaire positie waar de navigatiebeweging kon worden bekeken. Opgravingen hebben oude kazernes van soldaten, paardenstallen, een munitiedepot, een geheime doorgang onthuld, keramische gebruiksvoorwerpen en islamitische en Chinese muntmunten.
Barbar Temple: De Barbar-tempels behoren tot de meest opmerkelijke architecturale overblijfselen van de antieke wereld zonder weerga in de regio. Deze archeologische vindplaats, gelegen in het Noord-Westelijke dorp Barbar in Bahrein, wordt beschouwd als onderdeel van de oude Dilmun-cultuur. De archeologen vonden drie tempels bovenop elkaar gebouwd die tot verschillende tijdperken behoorden.
Grafheuvels: deze archeologische heuvels zijn van groot historisch belang teruggaand tot de Dilmun-beschaving in het derde millennium voor Christus. Andere archeologische heuvels, die teruggaan tot de Hellenistische periode van Alexander de Grote (2500 voor Christus) zijn ook te vinden in verschillende gebieden in Bahrein. De indrukwekkendste heuvels zijn de zogenoemde Dilmunite Royal Tombs. Deze graven zijn te zien in A'ali dicht bij moderne woningen.

Finished the trip 6 hrs ago and still in awe of all the places we visited and our wonderful guide Fahad. Given there was a repeat tourist spot from an earlier trip, the tour company was very accommodating to add other attractions to make the trip worth while. From the get go, Fahad made us feel like old friends meeting after a long time. He takes immense pride in his work and it shone through. The stories at each of these sights were remarkable and every place had a unique character - The Dilmun burial grounds, the Barbar temples, the Pearling Path are not to be missed. If you want an honest, meaningful and insightful conversation then Fahad is the right choice to go on this ride with! Absolutely brilliant day spent and feeling content to return home tomorrow.
Fahad was an amazing tour guide and provided all the history and background on each spot we visited. The day was unhurried and pleasant, and we enjoyed him very much.
My guide Bhatia was very knowledgeable and kind. She took me to the world heritage listed fort and explained about the Dilmun civilisation. We visited the Dilmun graves and the Barbur temples. As an archaeology lover, I found this tour fascinating since I was unaware about Bahrains ancient past. A further visit to the National museum will allow you to see all the treasures they excavated from these archaeological sites. Well worth the visits.
This is a specialised tour that focuses on the historical places that Bahrain hosts, most of which I had never heard about previously. Very interesting to hear all the details and see the World Heritage Fort, and the Barbur Temple, and Dilmun graves. My lovely guide Bhatia was very knowledgeable and gave a detailed explanation of all the sites, and patiently waited while I took lots of photos. She helped bring the Dilmun civilisation to life. A visit to the Bahrain National Museum is recommended to appreciate the excavated treasures in real life detail.
Angela is AMAZING, and she was so sweet with our boy. Part of the tour was closed for construction, and Angela made sure to compensate for that. She was so easy to talk to, and so very friendly. Definitely a great choice for our stay in Bahrain!
This tour is very good to visit archaeological spots in Bahrain because tour guide and driver were taking and guiding us to our preferred places very flexibly. Tour guide has been staying in Bahrain for a long time, so she could answer to any questions we asked. Thank you so much, Ms. Angela and Mr. Zakrya, you are very good team! The beautiful sunset we saw together beside "The tree of life" will stay forever in our memories.
Short and interesting tour of some of the historical sites in Bahrain. Flexible itinerary so we asked to stop at the oldest mosque in Bahrain and changed the timings so we finished at Bahrain Fort at sunset. Barbar temples were interesting, no one else there, takes 15 mins to go around. The Dilmun burials were in town and we agreed to walk around just one and drive by the rest but you could do more here if you want. The royal burials are more than just mounds and if you go to the National museum you can see examples preserved showing how they were constructed. Bahrain Fort was the biggest site to take in with not only the old Fort but also the remains of the village that the Fort seems to be built on.
We had a great excursion with Farhat Tours today! We covered the fort, the ruins of an old temple, and the royal burial mounds.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to service you our service and looking forward to welcome you in Bahrain again.
I enjoyed learning more about the Dilmun civilization, which existed in Bahrain thousands of years ago. The burial mounds were interesting as well as the other structures that we visited. I found the tour to be unique and informative.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to service you our service and looking forward to welcome you in Bahrain again.
Not a super memorable tour. The Bahrain Fort was closed, so we walked around the outside which was disappointing. Driver and guide didn’t appear interested in the tour, though the guide was knowledgeable and was helpful conveying/contextualizing information at the Bahrain National Museum. The karak chai stop near the end was nice. Overall, just sort of weird lukewarm vibes from this tour tbh.
