The country has spawned modern development within a small setup of its series of islands. From old ruins to modern skyscrapers, from scenic beaches to key museums in the region, Bahrain is a complete sightseeing package. Highlights include:

Museums:

The Bahrain National Museum preserves artefacts dating back centuries. Apart from the National Museum, a venture of the traditional pearls industry can be made at the Museum of Pearl Diving, where some of the best pearls are exhibited for public display.

The Tree of Life:

Another miraculous discovery (for the foreigners at least) was the 400 years old Tree of Life in Bahrain. This mysterious tree is a popular spot for tourists, anthropologists, and archaeologists alike. It consists of one single evergreen, overhanging ancient tree in the middle of a barren, white sand desert. The school of thought that believes Bahrain to be the place which housed the Biblical Garden of Eden have much interest for this site.

Riffa:

Riffa also holds a number of attractions for the visitors. The main international golf course of the country is the Riffa Views Royal Golf Club, with tropical date palms lining its perimeters. This sprawling golf course is a beautiful addition in the city. Moreover, the Sheikh Salman Bin Ahmed Al Fateh Fort is evidence of its glorious past. Then there is Military Museum, Enma Mall and Dilmun Burial Mounds for essential short visits.

Amusement Parks:

Recently, family entertainment has also been given priority by the government. Several well-equipped parks are constructed in the country to ensure that those travellers who are coming here with their families can have a memorable time. You can avail cheap flights to Bahrain for you along with your family and visit the indoor/ outdoor Wahoo Water Park in the City Centre, the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park in Manama and the Adhari Park in Tubli.

Shaikh Isa bin Ali House:

The Shaikh Isa bin Ali House in Al Muharraq is a prime example of how simple, plain architecture leads to elegant buildings reserved for the royal family during the start of the 19th century.

Other points of interest include Bab al Bahrain, the leading marketplace of the capital, Al Fateh Grand Mosque and Beit Al Quran, a museum preserving the ancient manuscripts of Quran.
