The experience

The tour starts at your hotel with pickup and moves through Manama's main landmarks in sequence. You'll visit the Al Fateh Grand Mosque with a guide, then the Bahrain National Museum to see the kingdom's history and heritage. From there the route passes the Bahrain Financial Harbor and Bahrain World Trade Center before arriving at Bahrain Fort for a guided walk through the restored structure.

The afternoon wraps in the old city: a guided tour through BAB Al Bahrain, the traditional Manama souq, Little India and the Gold souk. Admission to each site is included, as are bottled water and coffee or tea. Because it's a private tour, you can change the route in the last minutes if you want to swap in a different attraction, as long as it's open and fits the time.

The guide speaks English or Arabic. Pickup and drop-off happen anywhere within Bahrain. Just name your hotel or location at booking. The operator can arrange vegetarian options if you request them when you reserve.
