Prehistoric to post-modern
At Bahrain National Museum, you'll get a good introduction to Bahrain's history. One of the highlights is the archaeological finds from the ancient Dilmun civilisation that called the island home. Next door at the waterfront is the huge Bahrain National Theatre, a fabulous showpiece of sleek, postmodern architecture.

Fortifying the past
The phenomenal UNESCO World Heritage-listed Qa'lat al Bahrain, or Bahrain Fort, is a 10-minute drive from central Manama. The fort was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century as part of their defences along the Gulf, but the hill site itself has been occupied since about 2,800 BC. Find out more in the museum next door, which showcases an impressive range of 500 artifacts unearthed here.
Bahraini brilliance
Stroll along the narrow lanes and byways of Muharraq and admire the restored traditional Bahraini houses. The Sheikh Isa bin Ali House features four courtyards and magnificently carved wooden doors. Equally spectacular is the Sheikh Ebrahim Bin Mohamed Al Khalifa Centre for Culture and Research, the former home of a renowned pearl merchant.
Local Cuisine
Great food is everywhere in Manama. Cruise to Bahrai and pop into a local, family-run spot for machboos, a simple classic dish or chicken or fish spiced with baharat – an Arabian spice blend that typically includes paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom – served over rice. Lamb is also a staple here: Try it as spit-roasted shawarma wrapped in pita bread or as ghoozi, grilled lamb stuffed with eggs, onions and spices.
Shopping
Go shopping for pearls, perfume or colorful hand-painted ceramics at Manama Souq, the city's traditional open-air market. Pick up some silver jewellery, a brass coffee pot or a carpet from the shops in Adliya. During your visit to Bahrain, escape the heat to one of the air-conditioned shopping centres, such as the vast Bahrain City Centre, Seef Shopping Centre or the smaller Al Aali Shopping Centre.
