Things to do in Bahrain
Welcome to the sunny coastal nation of Bahrain. Its name literally means "Two Seas" and the shallow water that laps at its sandy shores is an integral part of Bahrain's landscape. Take a private Bahrain tour to discover the country's ancient history and modern culture with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. In the 1950s, Archeological explorations of Qala'at al-Bahrain (Bahrain Fort) revealed layers of civilization dating back to 2800BC; head here for lovely views of the coast and the stone remnants of a 16th century Portuguese Fort. See a rich array of the nation's ancient artifacts at the Bahrain National Museum, and people watch at Bab Al Bahrain, the heart of Manama City. Be sure to sample some local produce: fresh water springs feed Bahrain's abundant date trees and fruit gardens. And with 33 islands to choose from, your guide will be able to suggest the best beaches to enjoy watersports or a bit of sunbathing. Have fun on your private Bahrain tour!

There is a small interval of a few months in between where the climate is quite pleasant. Having said that if you are an ardent fan of motorsports, then you will have to plan your trip from March to April since Bahrain plays host to Formula 1.
