When you see this tree, you will just wonder how it survives the desert heat and always remain green throughout the year for over 400 years. Yeah, it's right 400+ years! It's a mystery you must see. It is 40 KM from the main city (Manama), you can get there by car on your own or a tourist agency can take you there.

Before our trip to Bahrain, we had sent several tour requests to agencies in Bahrain but only Ishtar Gate tours were able to meet our requirements. They were prompt, efficient and planned a great itinerary for us. Highly educated local guide, a brand new bus that picked us up from the hotel. The tour had been customized in advance but the guide added more attractions to visit such as Arad Fort and Muharraq Old houses. It was a nice bonus! Highly recommended, we had a fantastic experience in Bahrain with Ishtar gate tours!

On April 2019, my husband and I were on a short trip to Bahrain for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we sent a tour request to many agencies in Bahrain, we booked a tour online by other agency and the price was very attractive , but no one showed up, we noticed it was a scam, we were very disappointed as they charged us 50 % of the total amount- Be careful many scammers listing their budgeted tours to attract others they are not areal agencies ,they act like a real agencies by publishing faked pages on google ,Instagram and face book- usually they charge very attractive prices to attract others. As recommended by the Hotel Concierge, we contacted Ishtar Gate tours, we reserved a half day tour, second day, the guide was waiting for us in the lobby. We asked the guide to customize our tour, she was good in customizing the tour for us- we extended our tour with him, interesting information given to us by referring to the facts and figures in a professional manner- she was well educated. The guide tried her best to show us as much as she can, added interesting attractions even they were not in our program such as Arad Fort and Traditional Dhow yard. VIP service, Private tour, Informative tourist guide -100% worth the price we paid. 2018 i visited Bahrain and we joint a group tour in a bus with another agency, the price was higher than what we paid this private tour- it was boarding and the guide was busy - have to answer all of us in the same time. Highly Recommended.

Be prepared to walk and be delighted at the sites. We’ve been here nearly two years answer thought we had explored lots in Bahrain. Today, we realized there’s so much more in Muharraq. Beautiful sites, delicious food and treats along the way, and mostly a wonderful tour guide. Khalid is knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly- even with kids. Overall pleased with our experience and hope you enjoy it too!
