Ancient Burial Mounds - Bahrain has probably the largest pre-historic cemetery in the world. There is an estimated 170,000 burrial mounds dating back to between 3000 BC and 600 AD. Each of these mounds covers a stone built chamber which formed the grave. Many of these are intact today, many having been looted way back in the past or destroyed over the years. The best preserved of the mounds can be seen at A'ali village. The mounds continue to both mystify and teach historians and archaeologists.

King Fahad Causeway - Opened in 1986, this remarkable 25km feat of engineering links Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most expensive bridges in the world. The causeway traverses Umm Nasan Island, which is a sanctuary for wildlife, and at halfway point there is a facility area, including one tower restaurant, which you can visit even if you don't travel the whole distance to Saudi Arabia.

Al-Areen Wild Park - Situated in the village of Zallaq, the sanctuary was inaugurated in 1975 under the gracious patronage of His Highness the Amir. Covering eight square kilometers, the sanctuary provides a natural habitat for several kinds of plants and more than 500 species of animals and birds. The animals include Arabian Reem Gazelles, Oryx, Zebras, huge Tortoises, Desert Hedgehogs and Arabian Camels, as well as various birds such as ostriches, flamingoes, falcon, storks and ducks. Guided tours are conducted within the sanctuary, where animals can be seen in their natural habitats.

Tree Of Life - This well-matured tree has come to be known as the Tree Of Life because of the mystery surrounding its existence in the middle of the desert and without any known water source. The fact that its stands alone in this area have further raised the curiosity of visitors and specialists alike for many years. The tree, believed to be from the Acacia family, sheds its leaves in winter but grows yellow flowers, which are apparent in both spring and autumn. This type of tree is able to withstand harsh environments and can live for many years.

First Oil well / Oil Museum - Bahrain was the first country to discover oil in the Arabian Gulf region. Oil was discovered in 1932 near Jebel Dukhan or Mountain of Smoke. You can see the first oil well here. The oil museum is located a few metres from this oil well. The museum allows you to trace the discovery of what has been the region's best-known export. Exhibits include drilling equipment, samples of rocks found underground, photographs, a working model of an oil rig, topographical maps and some information about the companies that had participated in the exploration of oil.
