A camel farm and the Bahrain International Circuit of Formula 1 are some of the places that'll be visited on this excursion to the Sakhir Desert.
Description
At the scheduled time we'll pick you up from your hotel or the airport in Manama to begin this tour to the Sakhir Desert. Are you ready to visit some of the most famous locations in Bahrain?
The first stop will be the Royal Camel Farm. Did you know that it was founded by an Arab sheikh named Mohammed Bin Salman Al Khalifa? On the farm, you'll have time to interact with the camels and even chat with their carers.
Next, we'll make our way to one of the most interesting points on the tour, the Bahrain International Circuit, the main stage of Formula 1 races in the Middle East. There's no way you'll be able to resist taking a photo next to the F1 car!
We'll continue our tour at the first oil site in the Gulf region. It's the first well that drew oil back in 1931.
We'll continue our tour around this desert region of Sakhir as we head to the Tree of Life, which dates back 400 years and stands at almost 10 metres (32.8 feet) tall. The strange thing is that it is the only tree or plant in the entire area.
Afterwards, we'll visit a pottery workshop, where we'll see the craftsmen making clay pots. Finally, we'll visit the Dilmun Burial Mounds. They're 4200 years old!
After 4 hours, the tour will come to an end back at the meeting point.
