Oil Museum and first oil well, Manama, Bahrain

3.5 (77 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #24 in Manama Speciality Museums

Don't assume that it will be open

We went on a Monday to have a look and it was closed, it was our fault for not checking but just to be aware to make sure you do. I do have to say that the surrounding areas are interesting to see because of how vast the fields are. Seeing the machinery in action is also quite fascinating so it's good for a drive out to see something different. Whatever you do, don''t go with a half empty tank of petrol, it's quite easy to get on to a wrong road.

    Nice but far
    It is very informative about Oil and the history about how the oil industry started in Bahrain. You can enjoy the ride of almost 40km from Manama.

    This is historical ground
    Here the first oil in the Arabic Gulf was found on-land in the years 1931 to 1932. Unfortenatuly, the Museum was closed, although it was visited on a Friday, and supposed to be open.
