A landscape that combines tradition and modernity

Once in Bahrain, in the south, you can admire the Tree of Life, a remnant of the Garden of Eden, as legend has it. People are particularly fascinated by the fact that its water supply remains a mystery to this day. In fact, you can picnic at the foot of the tree, touch its leaves and make a wish as the crowds flock to it.

If you go downtown, especially in the capital, you'll find that Manana is not just a place of towering buildings, but also a traditional trading center with souks (Bab Al- Bahrein) and mosques (Al-Khamis) lining the streets. You'll also have the opportunity to visit Bahrain's must-see fort (Qalaat al Bahrain), with its surrounding oasis of greenery, built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Don't miss the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which takes place in the center of the island. From here, you can either watch the matches or take a Hummer ride around the Sakhir circuit on a good Friday.

If you're visiting Bahrain as a family, don't hesitate to take the kids to the Lost Paradise water park, where they can enjoy a few camel rides or some bonding time with the dolphins. Diving enthusiasts will be well catered for at the Al-Bender resort, where water sports can be enjoyed in abundance at Al-Jazair beach. On the other hand, if you've come primarily to discover the island's culture, take a trip to the desert at the weekend to see for yourself the nomadic way of life, with its white tents and falcon hunting. And why not sample Bahraini cuisine? Arab dishes are always based on spicy chicken and lamb. You can also drink some of their strong coffee, a beverage that locals usually have with helwa, a typical pastry made from rosewater.

Enjoy pleasant winter weather

The climate in the small archipelago of Bahrain is undoubtedly that of a desert country, with very mild winters and very hot summers. Indeed, the cool season is marked by the period from December to mid-March, when temperatures are quite pleasant, with minimums around 18 degrees. Occasionally, in winter, some cold air from the north may arrive, keeping daytime temperatures around 15 degrees and night-time around 10 degrees. The hot season is marked by temperatures that reach 30 degrees, especially when winds blow from the south. This scorching period begins in May and continues into October. Fortunately, hotels, offices and restaurants are equipped with air conditioning. That said, the ideal time to visit Bahrain is from November to April. You'll avoid the heatwave and enjoy cool nights. At the same time, you can take advantage of the national holiday on the 16th of the same month.
