Friday: 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM Golf Courses

The Royal Golf Club, acclaimed as Troon Golf's "Facility of the Year 2013", is conveniently located just 20-minutes drive from Bahrain's capital, Manama, and the same distance from the Saudi-Bahrain causeway. The Club's 7,102 yard, 18 Hole Par 72 Montgomerie course offers a unique blend of links and desert golf, taking advantage of Bahrain's natural rough desert terrain and combining it with vast manmade lakes. The Championship course is complemented by the Mini Monty 9-hole, Par 3 course which is ideal for beginners in the sport, junior golfers and those wishing to work on their short game. It is a scaled down version of its big brother with par 3 holes ranging in length from 60 to 140 yards. State-of-the-art floodlights are installed on the Back 9 holes of the Montgomerie course and across the whole of the Mini Monty course meaning that golfers can enjoy a relaxing round of golf day or night. Additional facilities at the Club include an Academy with shaded driving range bays and immaculate practice putting greens, a well-stocked Golf Shop, a Country Club with a cooled/heated swimming pool, and several award-winning restaurants.

4.0 Dilmun Burial Mounds (25 reviews)
- Fascinating archaeological site
Cemeteries

There a thousands of burial mounds around Bahrain (you can see them from the highways as you travel around if you look carefully) and its not unusual to see ruins on the edge of towns. These ruins in Riffa are no different; they are in a plot next to a football field and with houses around the periphery. These ruins are smaller than some of the other examples but there are a good number of mounds in close proximity. Sign boards give a good insight into the Dilmuns and the burial mounds. but to get the most from your visit, a trip to the Bahrain National Museum is recommended first. See more..
