History in Bahrain

Bahrain's cosmopolitan capital, stacking a 4,000-year-old harbour fort, a maze-like souq and glossy waterfront towers.

Bahrain's old royal capital, a UNESCO pearling trail of restored merchant houses, wind towers and traditional coffee shops.

A leafy inland town crowned by the 19th-century Riffa Fort, with valley views, a royal golf course and the F1 circuit nearby.

A pottery town built among thousands of Bronze Age burial mounds, where traditional kilns still fire clay wares by hand.
