My partner gifted me the PADI Open Water Diver course for our anniversary as he already had his junior level. I had previously had quite a traumatic experience on holiday and was adamant that this was not an activity for me. However, our instructor Baher was amazing. His ability to keep me completely calm and gain his trust easily meant that I actually managed overcome my fear and begin to enjoy scuba diving. We passed yesterday and now are looking forward to our upcoming holiday which is including a diving trip. Thank you Baher and the team at ScubaLife for giving me a new and exciting adventure and skill that myself and my partner can enjoy together ! See more..

4.0 Shaikh Isa bin Ali House (67 reviews)
- Self guided tour of beautiful house
Architectural Buildings

If you love history and finding out how people lived in the past then this is a must see for you. The beautiful house is a living example of the architecture in years gone when the current amenities did not exist (e.g running water, air cons etc). I loved the layout of the courts, wells, rooms, windows etc My favourite was the cooling tower in one of the main rooms. Best to go when it is cooler (evening time). And for BHD1 it was a great experience See more..

3.5 Arad Fort (98 reviews)
- Important part of Bahrain history
Friday: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks

Once upon a time as part of the history of Bahrain, this was a defesive fort that has been well preserved and open for all to see. Not so big that you would get lost but possess a few tricky stairs to climb up and get some nice photos whether day or sunset time. Its also convieniently located just off the sea that also provides a nice view of the city in the distance. Large open air carpark and a popular attraction for school outings and tourists alike, the close proximty to the Seef Mall Arad also adds the leisurely atomsphere as well as old vs new concept. For added info though the website says open at 9 but its actually 12 noon which is peak heat if visiting in summer. It maybe small and wont be to long wandering around but it can get very hot. Thus the seef at the side is a good place to go cool off after the visit. Definitely one of the attractions to visit when in Bahrain. See more..
3.5 Pearling Path (13 reviews)
- A snapshot of old Bahrain
Hiking Trails

I originally did a tour because I needed to get out of the house and socialize a bit (we live here). I was so amazed at the craftsmanship of the buildings and restoration. Definitely go with a tour guide who can tell you all the past significance of each building, people, timelines of events. I was enchanted by the zig-zag walk ways and loved all the photo opportunities. A great place for family photos or great tour photos. If you are on a hired tour, make sure you ask your guide to take you around to the whole trail, not just the first few houses. While incredible, you'll miss some really amazing architecture, art, and gardens toward the end. Kid friendly although they may get bored. See more..
