What to do and see in Manama, Bahrain: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

January 22, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Manama, capital of the island nation of Bahrain, is a major financial center with a thriving economy. A surplus of money has decorated the skyline with glass and steel spires, and plans for the tallest tower in the world. Although Bahrain is an Islamic country, alcohol is legal, and Manama has a thriving nightlife, with clubs and bars popular with visitors from all over the world. The narrow rows of stalls at the Bab el-Bahrain souk are famous for their vast array of perfumes, spices, and gold.

Mr. Maher, my guide, is a fantastic person, well educated, very cooperative and he has good information about Bahrain. We started the our tour from Fateh Mosque, prayed Zuhr, then started to scheduled places.

Mr. Fadhel was an excellent tour guide. I reached out to Fadhel and gave him my family's interest in a half day tour (we visited as part of a cruise). He was quick to respond and provided excellent details. Overall our booking experience was very smooth. As for the tour, it delivered more than we expected. Fadhel kept us safe and on time. The tour was very informative. We would highly recommend Fadhel/Tejwal Tours.
