stay in Bahrain

[mave]

What to do in Bahrain during my stay? :confused:

[aristotle]

Plenty....

Go to the National Museum, walk along the shore, visit the old city, go shopping for rugs, eat Lebanese/Turkish/Middle Eastern cuisine, see the Tree of Life, the dhow workshops, the burial mounds.....

Enjoy!

Trader Vic's at the Royal Meridien.....fabulous food and cocktails....

JJs Irish Corner (now under new managment) for boozing and BJs (next door) for clubbing....also the Warbler, Savage Garden, Fiddler's Green etc etc.

Shopping at Seef Mall.

Go to the Grand Mosque.

Try out the Japanese restaurant at the Hilton for an excellent meal, if a little pricey.

Try your hand at bartering in the souq, especially the gold and silver souqs, can't beat them.

Go surfing, sailing, jetskiing etc etc at Hawar Island.

If history is your thing, go and see the Beit al Quran, the Bab al Bahrain, Sheikh Isa's house, Riffa fort.

Take a ride across the King Fahad causeway to the Saudi border, the view from the watch tower at the border is pretty good, and the foods not bad either.

BTW, I've been to Bahrain many times now, and still not managed to find the Tree of Life..... any tips?

Tree of Life, head out to Riffa Golf Club and hang a right! Great for BBQ's out there too (in the evening).
